Common Neck Injuries
A common neck injury is whiplash, which is caused when the head is violently thrust backward and forward, causing damage to the neck. Whiplash can cause injuries to intervertebral joints, discs and ligaments. Whiplash often occurs in rear-end collisions. An injured person may feel no pain following an auto accident, with the pain developing over the next several days. Other common neck injuries include a broken neck, crushed vertebrae and neck sprain.
Ongoing Treatment
The treatment of neck injuries can be lengthy and require significant rehabilitation costs. Some neck injuries result in paralysis or loss of movement. Depending on the type of injury, the medical treatment may require neck fusion surgery or hydrocortisone injections to relieve pain.
