Neck Injuries Can Happen Anytime
Neck injuries can happen in many ways, at any time. The neck is a highly vulnerable body part, specifically during an accident. A minor incident can end up leaving you with chronic neck pain for the rest of your life.
Neck injuries can be caused by someone else’s negligence or an unavoidable accident.
Common accidents that can lead to neck injuries include:
The most common reason for neck injuries in auto accidents. A vehicle suddenly stopping can cause whiplash, or an object hitting the neck directly can cause injury. The neck can also become twisted or put in an uncomfortable position which can cause long-term damage.
Injuries to the neck can be caused by external tools or machinery. Overexertion by handling heavy objects or machinery can also lead to eventual neck injuries.
When a person slips, they usually have no control over protecting themselves. Most fall on their back, which can impact their neck too. Fractured discs and neck sprains are common in this case
Playing sports can cause wear and tear on your muscles and ligaments. Direct blows and impact on your head or back can lead to neck injuries. Nerve damage, sprains, and strains are common.
