Common Injuries from Motor Vehicle Accidents
Did you know that not all symptoms of a car accident show up immediately after an accident? Some injuries may manifest later the same day or the next day. Others may not show up for several days. In some cases, infections and other problems can last for months or years.
When a car accident occurs, the impact of the collision can inflict severe damage to the head, neck, back, and multiple areas of the body simultaneously. Sometimes when a minor accident seems to have occurred, there can be substantial, long-term injuries; specifically head trauma or whiplash.
Head injuries should always be taken seriously, even if they initially appear mild. Concussions and skull fractures can cause potentially life-threatening complications or have long-term effects, so you should see a doctor.
Whiplash is another common injury as a result of the head and neck jerking very quickly. Whiplash can usually be described as simultaneous injuries to multiple joints and various soft tissues. Whiplash can take a little bit of time before your neck is able to return to normal healthy range of motion.
Typical car accident injuries treated by a physical therapist include:
- Herniated discs
- Muscles strains
- Joint damage (i..e, cartilage, ligaments, and nerves)
- Broken bones
- Concussions
- Whiplash
If you’ve been involved in a car accident recently, seeing one of our physical therapists at Grasmere Physical Therapy in Staten Island, NY can help you find relief, and help you return to feeling your best!
