Auto Accidents and Injuries in Sacramento:

A motor vehicle accident (MVA) is a tragic result of a collision. The occupants of the vehicle can suffer even though the car may have received little damage. A five miles per hour accident can cause serious or permanent spinal injury.

Some common symptoms after an auto accident are headaches, nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, pain in the shoulders, pain in the arms and hands, weakness and fatigue, reduced ability to turn and bend the neck, and low back pain.

"Whiplash" is a term describing one of the most common injuries to the neck by the movement of the head backwards, forwards or sideways beyond normal range of motion. Supporting muscles and ligaments for the spine and head can be torn or over stretched during an accident. Spinal discs between the vertebrae can bulge, tear or rupture. The vertebrae may be moved out of their normal position, limiting range of motion. The spinal cord and nerve roots can be irritated. The instability and pain can be intense.

Symptoms associated with a "whiplash" accident include:

Neck pain, tenderness, achiness and stiffness

Cervical muscle spasms

Tenderness and nodules in superficial cervical musculature

Cervical reduced range of motion

Post-traumatic headaches (including migraine and muscle-tension headaches)

Shoulder and interscapular pain

Hand and finger pain, numbness and tingling

Blurred vision

Difficulty swallowing/feeling of lump in throat

Dizziness and balance problems

Lightheadedness

Post-traumatic depression and cognitive problems
