Injuries from a car accident are often hidden, at first. You might not see any damage to your skin more than a bruise or abrasion. However, the forces of the car accident affect the unseen parts of your body (ligaments, tendons, muscles, joints, joint capsules, discs and nerves).

This article will show you where these injuries occur. In another article you can find an outline of a common treatment program we use to rehabilitate a person that has been injured in a car accident.

There were 2.1 million emergency room visits due to car accidents in 2020.
