Is your neck hurting?
The neck is crucial for bodily function, yet sensitive to sudden movement and force, making it very susceptible to injury.
Jerking motion from a car accident or other impact-related trauma can cause various related injuries to the spine. Common accident-related neck injuries include pinched nerve, neck sprain, neck strain, herniated disc and whiplash.
Serious neck injury can occur in a car accident where the vehicles are moving as slow as 5 MPH. If you are feeling pain after a car accident, it is important to get it examined, diagnosed and documented to prevent future pain and expenses. If you are experiencing neck pain from an automobile accident, or other trauma, don’t wait for it to go away on its own.
