Depew, NY Auto Injury Therapy and Shoulder Pain

Shoulder discomfort is a condition reported by many car wreck patients, and there are two basic explanations.


The first is direct trauma to the shoulder during the wreck. If your shoulder hits something directly, it can damage the joint capsule. In addition, if you are clenching the steering wheel firmly during a rear-end collision, your body can lag behind the car, placing strain on your wrists and shoulders.

The second cause of shoulder pain after an auto injury is not so straightforward and can be tougher to diagnose. Injury 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 baffling, as the painful sensation or numbness is felt in one part of your body, while the problem is actually in your spine.
