Neck Injuries

Have you suffered a neck injury? We can help.

Any kind of injury or trauma involving the neck can result in immediate and more often, long term impact on your quality of life. What might seem, at first, like a simple thing – a dull or lingering neck ache or a limitation in your neck movements may blossom into a serious disability later on, if left untreated by medical professionals. We know how painful and disabling neck injuries can be and how hard it can be to get back on your feet, back to work, and back to your day-to-day life.

Causes of neck injuries

A lot of neck injuries are whiplash type of injuries often from the sudden jerking of a rear-end collision. These are referred to as “soft-tissue” injuries and whiplash injuries can be terribly painful. 

Other neck injuries can be much more extreme including fractures, paralysis and sometimes can cause the loss of a loved one. These types of neck injuries might be due to falling on someone’s poorly maintained property, a physical assault or even medical malpractice.

Don’t ignore what may seem like “just a neck sprain” from an injury, a fall or a vehicle or bicycle accident. Strains and sprains are among the most frequently reported neck injuries.  Neck injuries may be closely tied with head trauma sustained in an accident or a sports activity and can happen to people of any age.  Results can include nerve damage, paralysis, or permanent limitation of movement. There can be spinal column damage, nerve damage or broken vertebrae related to neck injuries as well.

People often shrug off neck pain related to a traumatic event (however slight) or a frequently repeated activity and sometimes don’t even realize what they’ve suffered is actually a traumatic incident that could have lasting impact on their lives.
