Accident Injury Clinic in San Antonio, TX

Common accident injuries include:

• Whiplash – A sudden back-and-forth movement of the neck that can cause pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and headaches.
• Neck Pain – Auto accidents frequently strain the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck, leading to discomfort and limited mobility.
• Back Injuries – The force of a collision can injure the muscles, ligaments, discs, and spine, resulting in acute or chronic back pain.
• Herniated Discs – A crash can cause spinal discs to bulge or rupture, placing pressure on nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
• Concussions – Even without a direct blow to the head, the impact of a collision can cause a mild traumatic brain injury that requires a medical evaluation.
• Shoulder Injuries – Seat belts, airbags, and the force of impact can cause sprains, strains, rotator cuff injuries, or joint damage.
• Knee Injuries – Knees often strike the dashboard or center console during a collision, resulting in bruises, ligament tears, fractures, or cartilage damage.
• Soft Tissue Injuries – Damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced function.
• Headaches – Post-accident headaches may be caused by whiplash, muscle tension, concussions, or other underlying injuries that should be evaluated.
• Nerve Damage – Compression or trauma to nerves can cause tingling, numbness, burning sensations, weakness, or radiating pain into the arms or legs.
