Understanding Shoulder Pain After Car Accident
Shoulder injuries from car accidents are common but often overlooked in the initial aftermath when neck and back pain dominate attention. The shoulder is a complex joint vulnerable to injury from the forces of a collision — especially from seatbelt restraint, bracing against the steering wheel, or direct impact. Common accident-related shoulder injuries include rotator cuff tears, labral tears, AC joint separations, and shoulder impingement.
