Neck Pain and Rear–End Type Car Accidents: "Neck Pain and Rear–End Type Car Accidents
By far the most common injury that our patients suffer when hit by another car from behind is neck pain. Neck pain as a result of a car accident is usually caused by muscles and ligaments being stretched and torn from the force of the accident.
When you are in your vehicle and hit from behind, the first thing that happens is your neck straightens and your head is whipped backward. As your head is whipped backward, the muscles in the front of your neck are stretched to their limit. Sometimes the stretch placed on these muscles pulls and tears some of the muscle fibers causing a painful, strained feeling."
