Many car accident victims receive injuries which are not initially diagnosed. Even if you didn’t suffer broken bones or a concussion, you may have received a spinal cord injury which does not manifest for hours or days after the accident. The spinal cord is highly susceptible to injury in a car accident, as the victim’s body is immobilized by the seat and the restraint, while the neck and head are free to whip front-to-back or side-to-side. When the injury develops symptoms, the victim may experience severe pain, restricted range of motion and chronic headaches.
Car Accident Injuries and WhiplashWhiplash is a commonly sustained by car accident victims. Although not life threatening, it can be extremely painful and require medical attention. Generally speaking, whiplash occurs when a motorist’s or passenger’s head is thrown quickly forward and then forced backwards during an auto accident. Sever cases of whiplash may result in partial disability. However, most people who suffer this type of injury recovery quickly.
Whiplash is symptomized by neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, stiffness in the neck, stiffness in the shoulders, dizziness, fatigue, jaw pain, arm pain, weakness in the arm/shoulder, back pain and ringing in the victim’s ears. If you suspect that you suffered whiplash in a car accident, contact your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will be able to conduct an examination or test to determine whether or not you need further medical treatment. Sometimes, whiplash is diagnosed through x-rays or MRIs.
