Depew, NY Whiplash Treatment and Shoulder Pain

Shoulder discomfort is a condition experienced by many auto injury patients, and there are two common explanations.



The first is direct injury to the shoulder during the impact. If your shoulder strikes something directly, it can injure the joint capsule. Also, if you are gripping the steering wheel firmly during a rear-end collision, your body can lag behind the car, applying strain on your wrists and shoulders.

The second cause of shoulder pain is not as straightforward and can be more challenging to identify. Trauma to the neck or spine can produce tension on the nerve fibers that travel from the spine to your shoulder, arm, and hands. This can be confounding, as the painful sensation or numbness is sensed in one part of your body, while the problem is actually in your spine.
