Suffering from auto accident injuries can permanently affect your mobility and balance without proper treatment.
Auto accidents are collisions involving motor vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Non-fatal auto accident injuries affect between 20 and 50 million people worldwide.
The most common non-fatal injuries resulting from auto accidents include whiplash, fractures, sprains, and strains. Whiplash occurs when the head and neck jerk back and forth, causing neck pain and limited mobility. Fractures are broken bones, which can happen in various body parts. Sprains involve stretched or torn ligaments, often affecting the wrists, ankles, and knees. Strains are similar to sprains but involve muscles or tendons commonly seen in the neck, back, and limbs. These injuries vary in severity and can cause pain, swelling, and limited movement.
