\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat Are Common Injuries You Can Get From a Car Accident?\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The force that the body absorbs during a car accident is not always reflected in the impact on your automobile. A small fender bender could do minimal damage to a car, and yet there could still be a real potential for bodily injury to the driver and occupants of the car.<\/p>\n

Consider what happens in a typical car accident:\u00a0 Your car suddenly stops when it\u2019s moving relatively quickly (whether you slam on the brakes, the car hits something while it\u2019s moving, someone hits you while you\u2019re driving, etc.). When that happens, your body absorbs some of that shock.<\/p>\n

Modern features on a car like seatbelts and airbags can help significantly lessen the impact of that shock, as well as the seriousness or fatality of the incident itself. However, you can still sustain painful\u2014but treatable\u2014spinal, head and neck injuries from a car accident even if the car itself has little damage.<\/p>\n

So what are common injuries that happen when your body absorbs the shock of a collision?<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Bruising and Contusions<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

That seatbelt will absolutely save your life. It can also leave minor bruising and irritation to the skin, ribcage, and potentially shoulders and your chest. Airbags are among the most important lifesaving advancements in automotive technology, but when you collide with one, the force is so great you can experience bruising.<\/p>\n

Provided that you aren\u2019t suffering from any internal bleeding, bruises aren\u2019t serious and will heal on their own. That includes the stiffness and minor discomfort around the trauma site.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Whiplash<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

The force of the accident can be the hardest on the spine. Of the head and neck injuries from a car accident, whiplash<\/a> is probably the most common. The resulting pain and discomfort is also what drives people to seek treatment from us.<\/p>\n

Your head is, relative to this spine and neck, actually quite heavy. When the car stops suddenly, the blunt force of the crash can cause that head to \u201cwhip\u201d around, forcing your spine to absorb the motion itself. Your spine is simply not designed to withstand that type of force.<\/p>\n

Minor whiplash pain may subside with some ice and over-the-counter pain medication. However, you could also suffer from a herniated disc or another form of spinal injury that requires x-rays to properly diagnose. Passive and active therapy with a car accident injury specialist will help bring strength back to the area, address the swelling, and remediate the pain associated with whiplash (especially headaches and neck pain).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Broken Bones<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

Flying debris in a car, or the force of another car hitting the side or back of your car can also cause a range of fractures and bone injuries. If you have been diagnosed with a broken bone from a car accident, you may want to visit a specialist to seek advice about post-rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Additionally, if you have concerns or signs of a broken bone including discoloration, swelling, severe stiffness and, of course, pain, it\u2019s time to see ahead and neck injury specialist from Chicago and discuss the impact of the car accident.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Nerve Damage<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

A car accident can cause nerve damage due to the sudden impact, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or loss of function, often affecting the neck, back, or limbs, and requiring immediate medical attention to prevent long-term complications.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
