Thousands of car accidents happen every day. These accidents account for a staggering number of chronic back, neck, and spine injuries each year. Medical researchers have found that between 20% and 40% of automobile accident victims will suffer long-term pain and symptoms as a direct result of their accident. Barnsley, Sir, Whiplash Bogduk Review of Clinical Injuries, Pain 58, 1994, pp 283-307. Spinal injuries, especially in the neck region are common in car accidents. They are more common in rear-end collisions, but can occur in any type of vehicle collision. Spinal injuries can affect the spinal cord, nerves (i.e. radiculopathy), discs (herniated discs), and surrounding ligaments and joint capsules. Fractures of the bones of the spine can occur in traffic accidents, and these often take the form of micro-fractures and are difficult to diagnose without special images, such as a CT scan. www.triangledisc.com While surgery may be necessary at times, more often than it is No, long-term instability of the spine can result in accelerated degeneration of the spine.

There are 6 million reported auto accidents in the United States annual report, and more than 38,000 of these accidents were fatal and 2.9 million people were injured. According to the National Safety Council more than 2.5 million rear end collisions are reported each time each year, making them the most common type of car accident. These collisions often result in injuries to the spine. Twenty percent (20%) of people involved in rear-end crashes have symptoms of a whiplash, sometimes called «whiplash» injuries. http://www.auto-accident-resource.com/statistics.html There are more than 3 million neck injuries in the United States each year, and 1/3 of these victims never fully recover. The cost of treatment for this has been estimated to run $ 49 billion a year. The most common complaints are neck pain, but there are a large number of complaints such as shoulder pain, arm pain, and lower back pain. Thirty-five percent (35%) of spinal cord injuries are caused by motor vehicle accidents, that is, the injury to the body. Most are men 16-30 years of age.
