Common motor vehicle accident injuries
Did you know that not all symptoms of a car accident manifest immediately? Some symptoms appear later the same day or the following day, and for some, the symptoms don’t start for days afterward. It is also fairly common for symptoms to last for months or even years.
The violent nature of an accident can cause severe head, neck, and back injuries and even multiple regions of the body simultaneously. There are also cases where the accident seemed minor, but the damage was significant and long-lasting, as is the case with head trauma and whiplash.
Head trauma can be a significant condition that a medical practitioner should assess, no matter how insignificant it may appear initially. Concussions and even skull fractures can lead to life-threatening issues or long-term problems.
Whiplash is a painful condition caused by sudden neck and head movements, resulting in injury to multiple joints and different types of soft tissues all at once. Whiplash can make normal neck movement impossible.
Typical car accident injuries a physical therapist treats include:
- Herniated discs
- Muscles strains
- Joint damage (i..e, cartilage, ligaments, and nerves)
- Broken bones
- Concussions
- Whiplash
If you were in a car accident recently or a long time ago, seeing our St. Petersburg, FL physical therapist can help you find relief and get back to feeling your best!
