Nagging Pains After a Motor Vehicle Accident

A motorcycle or car accident can significantly impact on the body. Obvious injuries are typically addressed immediately. However, nagging pain can develop in various areas long after you left treatment and rehabilitation.

These nagging pains are often chronic in nature, meaning that you will usually experience symptoms for a period of 12 weeks or longer. Additionally, such conditions may not manifest immediately after an accident. Deterioration or secondary impacts of injuries can take months to present with symptoms.

Neck Pain

The neck absorbs a significant amount of the forces distributed in a collision. Whiplash causes the neck to violently snap or twist. Muscles, tendons, bones and nerves are potentially impacted as a result. Over the long term, you may experience pain and issues with mobility in your neck and shoulders.

Tingling, weakness and numbness may impact the shoulder, arm and hands if nerves are compressed. Minor dislocations of joints may go unnoticed, resulting in pain and stiffness in the affected area. If you develop painful and debilitating symptoms out of nowhere, an appointment with Hanowell Spine Clinic is recommended.

Back Pain

Back and spinal injuries are very common in motor vehicle collisions. Do not ignore those nagging pains that impact on your work, personal relationships or lifestyle. Any undiagnosed issues can lead to further deterioration of the muscles or spinal column. You also run the risk of suffering from compressed nerves in the spine.

You may experience pain that begins in the back and radiates into the legs. This may be due to referred pain, overcompensating or pressure on nerves. Attempting to work through the pain is admirable but ill-advised. There are a range of non-invasive treatment options available from Hanowell Spine Clinic in Covington, GA.
