Car accidents often lead to soft tissue injuries, which involve damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons. One of the most frequent injuries is whiplash, where the sudden impact of a collision stretches the muscles and ligaments in the neck and upper back. Other common injuries include mid-back and lower back sprains, with severe cases potentially affecting the spinal structure due to the force of impact.
Chest injuries are also prevalent, ranging from bruises and muscle strains to broken ribs and internal injuries. These often result from collisions with the steering wheel, seatbelt pressure, or impact against the dashboard.
Head injuries can vary from minor to severe. Sudden stops or abrupt changes in direction can strain the neck and head, leading to muscle sprains or concussions. In more serious cases, the head may hit a window, steering wheel, or dashboard, causing closed head injuries, which involve bruising or tearing of brain tissue and blood vessels. While concussions are common, severe impacts can lead to long-term brain damage.
Arms and legs are also vulnerable in car accidents. Side impacts may cause bruises, sprains, or fractures as limbs hit doors or the dashboard. Knees, in particular, are at risk of injury during front-end collisions when they strike hard surfaces inside the vehicle.
Early diagnosis and treatment of car accident injuries are crucial to prevent long-term complications. If you've been in a car accident, seeking chiropractic care and soft tissue rehabilitation can help restore mobility, relieve pain, and promote a full recovery.

The Hidden Dangers of Speeding: Soft Tissue Injuries After Minor Accidents
According to the National Safety Council (NSC), excessive speed is a major factor in traffic injuries, affecting drivers, vehicles, and road safety infrastructure. Speeding reduces reaction time, increases stopping distances, and lessens the effectiveness of safety barriers such as guardrails, crash cushions, and median dividers, putting all road users at risk.
In 2021, speeding contributed to 29% of all traffic-related deaths, resulting in 12,330 fatalities—an average of more than 33 lives lost per day. Additionally, 11,057 fatal crashes were linked to speeding, making it one of the leading causes of roadway deaths. A speeding-related crash is classified as one where the driver was cited for speeding, racing, or driving too fast for conditions.
Even in low-speed collisions, soft tissue injuries such as whiplash, muscle sprains, and ligament damage are common. These injuries may not be immediately apparent but can cause chronic pain and mobility issues if left untreated. Seeking chiropractic care and soft tissue rehabilitation after a minor car accident can help prevent long-term complications and promote recovery.
The rise in speeding-related injuries and deaths has been alarming. 2021 marked the third consecutive year of increases, surpassing the historical low of 26% in 2019. Compared to 2020, speeding-related fatalities rose by 7.9%, reaching the highest recorded number since 2007.
Speeding doesn’t just cause fatalities—it leads to injuries that can impact your daily life. If you’ve been involved in a minor accident, don’t ignore pain or stiffness. Prioritizing early diagnosis and treatment can make a significant difference in recovery and long-term well-being.
