Auto accidents causing debilitating orthopedic injuries occur in Central Florida everyday, and even fender benders can damage muscle and bone due to an impact or sudden stop. The experienced orthopedists at Zion Medical Inc specialize in being able to detect and rehabilitate your auto accident injury, which can significantly improve your mobility and reduce pain.
Regardless of the speed of your vehicle prior to impact, auto accidents have the ability to exert extreme force on the human body, including trauma to your bones, ligaments, tendons, and connective tissues. Orthopedic injuries do not always hurt or display symptoms right away, but they can be life-altering if untreated.
If you or a loved one have endured an auto accident, it’s entirely possible that you have already sustained an orthopedic injury without even realizing it. Injuries like whiplash, which occurs due to a sudden snapping forward (or backward) of the neck, can cause muscle, ligament, and connective tissue injuries. Other common auto accident injuries include:
No two auto accident injuries are exactly the same, and no two people experience pain from injuries the same way either. There have been instances recorded where victims suffering from torn ligaments (and even broken bones) are not immediately aware of their injuries, so it is crucially important to be on the lookout for any of the following symptoms (that you might otherwise overlook), and to seek medical attention as soon as possible:
