HOW AN AUTO ACCIDENT CAN HURT YOU
Not every automobile accident results in blood, compound fractures and other obvious signs of physical disaster. Many accidents, some occurring at speeds as slow as 5 miles per hour, can produce serious injuries that may not be evident to an observer but are all too obvious to the sufferer. These may include:
- Whiplash: Whiplash injuries occur because of the way the head is "whipped" violently forward and backward. This action can damage the soft tissues, dislocate the cervical vertebral joints and allows cervical discs to push their way onto nerve roots. Neck stiffness, nausea, headaches, disorientation, tinnitus and hand/arm discomfort are all common symptoms. (The whip-like head motion can also cause a concussion, which produces some of the same symptoms as whiplash.)
- Thoracic injuries: The thoracic or "mid-back" region of the spine may be severely twisted during an auto impact. This tends to happen when a three-point seat restraint pins one shoulder in place while other is free to fly forward. The twisting motion can cause subluxation (misalignment) of the thoracic vertebrae along with painfully torn muscles.
- Low back injuries: The lumbar spine in the lower back can receive severe injuries during an auto accident. A sufficiently powerful jolt can dislodge and herniate lumbar discs, cause impingement of the sciatic nerve. The resulting sciatica can cause low back pain, leg pain, tingling, numbness and other problems.
- Shoulder Injuries: The seat belt has not been re-designed since 1972 and can impinge the shoulder joint during impact while the non-protected shoulder capsule can dislocate or severely sprain causing pain and great agony for everyday activities.
