Car Accidents Can Also Cause Wrist Injuries

Do you ever associate a wrist injury with car accidents? Perhaps, you do not do so all the time because it is generally the head or the spine that takes most of the impact, especially when the crash is fatal.

A wrist injury usually happens during motor vehicle collisions. However, there are cases where a car accident can damage your wrists as per our auto accident chiropractic specialist in San Diego, California.

A situation that a car accident can damage your wrists would be, for example, when you support your hands against the ceiling of your car or the sides. When you do this, you place intense pressure on your hands and wrists’ bones, tendons, and ligaments.

Sometimes, when you throw your hands up during a car accident, you go crushing your wrists into the dashboard, window, steering wheel, airbag, or other interior auto parts.

Furthermore, if by chance you grasp the inside of the steering wheel instead of the outside, your hands or wrists can get caught and spun around the wheel when it whirls in a car accident.

During a recovery, it is essential that you enlist the help of a physiotherapist in California to examine all your injuries and determine the kind of approach to managing the pain and eventually treat the root of the discomfort.

For other car accident injuries such as your spine, DTS decompression therapy can be your non-surgical alternative to treat disc-related issues. Through the treatment, you can expect your wrongly positioned disc to withdraw, taking the stress and pressure off the nerves and other structures in your spine.
