Car accidents often cause neck and back injuries including fractured or compressed vertebrae, nerve irritation, strained muscles, injured bones, ligaments or joints, and herniated or bulged discs.
Symptoms can vary and often do not present themselves for a few days following the accident. Symptoms might include pain in the neck, shoulders and back, stiffness, and tingling and numbness in the arms and hands, severe bruising and swelling.
Injuries effecting your neck and back might interfere with your ability to keep up with pre-accident day-to-day work and activities while seriously impacting your enjoyment of life.
