Auto Injury

Each year more than 50 million people worldwide are injured by automobile accidents. Even a minor collision can cause serious damage to ligaments, joints, bones and nerves that make up the body. However, unlike other types of injuries, auto injuries require a special evaluation and treatment in order to prevent long-term, or even permanent, damage.

At Accuhealth we strive to provide the highest level of comprehensive care for our auto injury patients. Our team of doctors and health care professionals provide you with everything you will need including:

How Auto Injuries Work

In a car accident, there are several different factors including speed, point of impact, and engagement of safety features (seat belt or airbag) which may influence the type of car accident pain that the driver or passenger in the car will sustain.

When a car is traveling at a set speed and suddenly collides with another object or vehicle, the physical structures of the car are designed to absorb and deflect the majority of the impact away from the human passengers. However, even while car absorbs this impact, the human still continues to travel in the same direction and speed prior to the moment of impact. Once the body comes in contact with a restraint (seat belt, airbag, or other physical structure of the car) it then is whipped backward in the opposite direction and causing injury to soft tissue, bone, and joints.

Types of Auto Injuries

The most common types of injuries sustained during an automobile accident include:

• Spinal disc injuries
• Soft tissue injury (nerve, ligament, muscle)
• Temporomandibular joint injury (TMJ)
• Limb injuries
• Head and brain injuries
