Symptoms

The symptoms of a neck or back injury depend largely upon the area of impact and the force applied during the accident. As a general rule, any victim of an accident should visit the emergency room immediately and make sure X-rays and other thorough testing is completed. In orthopedic and spinal injuries, victims who receive a clean bill of health often experience symptoms days or even weeks after the accident. Even the slightest soreness could be indicative of something much more serious. Make sure you get to a doctor immediately if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

• Neck soreness

• Neck tingling
• Vision problems
• Swallowing or breathing difficulty
• Irritability or fatigue
• Dizziness or vertigo
• Pain between the shoulder blades
