Common Types of Car Accident Injuries

Car accident injuries can range in type and severity, none of which should be taken lightly. Soft tissue injuries are quite common. These injuries damage the ligaments, muscles, and tendons. They can be frustrating because they often take a long time to heal and can sometimes be overlooked because they don’t appear on x rays and initial medical examinations. Types of soft tissue injuries are:

• Whiplash
• Sprains
• Bruises

Whiplash is especially common in car accidents and frequently happens after a rear-end collision.

Other common injuries include:

• Cuts and Scrapes
• Head Injuries
• Chest Injuries
• Arm and Leg Injuries

These injuries can range from concussions to fractures ribs to dislocated joints. One of these alone can be enough to handle, but it is not uncommon to suffer more than one injury at one time after an accident.

Different Types of Accidents that Lead to Injuries

The possibilities are endless for car accidents. From fender benders to major collisions, accidents happen every day on the busy United States highways. These common types of car accidents can occur any time:

• Vehicle rollover
• Single car accident
• Rear-end collision
• Side-impact collision
• Head-on collision

In many cases it is just one or two vehicles are involved in a single accident, but there are times when multiple cars are involved, particularly on major highways where everyone is moving at high speeds.

How Physical Therapy Helps Patients Recover

Car accident injuries can result in many types of pain, including stiffness in the head, neck, and shoulders, headaches, fatigue and dizziness, blurred vision, numbness or tingling, and limited range of motion in the limbs or neck. Many of these injuries won’t show up immediately, and the pain tends to present itself over time.

Physical therapy following an accident can target these problem areas, reduce pain and stiffness, and help speed up recovery. In many cases, the sooner you seek treatment, the better your chances of reducing pain and preventing damage in the long-term. It is also important to have consistent support during the recovery process, so you don’t feel isolated or discouraged. If you are facing possible surgery, physical therapy with our trained, qualified staff can strengthen your muscles and help you avoid more wear and tear on your muscles and tendons as you go through the recovery process.

It has been shown that regular physical activity produces endorphins and reduces overall pain. When you are in less pain, you have increased mobility and a greater quality of life.
