Car accidents involve tremendous amounts of force, sometimes moving in multiple directions at once. This can have a devastating impact on the body, even when a person is strapped in with a seatbelt. The damage can affect people all over and can even come from the seatbelt itself. If you live in Normal Heights, CA, Scripps Ranch, CA, Mira Mesa, CA, and the San Diego, CA, region, we at CK Chiropractic Center are here to help.

Auto Accident Shoulder Pain

When a person is moving in a car, they are moving at the same speed of the car they are inside. That can be anywhere from 10 to 70 mph, depending on where a person is driving or traveling at the time of the accident.

Accidents don’t always happen from one direction. This means a victim can be thrown around in multiple directions before everything stops. During all of that movement, the body is being wrenched and pulled while still strapped in. The seatbelt, even though it is designed to keep us safe, can be the cause of shoulder and neck injury.

When things are normal, the shoulder stays in place with its socket design and has a range of motion as a result. Despite all the muscles and tendons involved, the force of an auto injury can pull on an arm and shoulder with tremendous force. This can wrench muscles, ligaments, and tendons, producing strains and tears. This force can even be applied by the seatbelt as it keeps you in place.
