NECK PAIN

So you’ve been in a car wreck and now have neck pain. It could be mild or it could be severe. Don’t just wait for it to go away on its own. Look at it this way. If your neck hurts and you haven’t been involved in a car crash recently, it may be caused by the position you slept in or some other kind of minor strain. If it persists you would be wise to get it checked out by a health care clinic. But when you add a glaring symptom like neck pain to a recent car crash, you could have a serious back or neck injury that may only get worse. It could even lead to permanent damage.

Serious neck injuries from car crashes can happen even if you were only going 7 miles an hour. Neck strain or whiplash is caused by a sudden jerking of your neck that pulls and tears at tissue causing damage that results in pain.
