What Causes Shoulder Pain After an Accident?

The shoulder is a fragile joint that can easily be affected by an auto accident. The accident's impact causes excessive force to the shoulder area, resulting in injuries such as sprains, strains, dislocations, and fractures. Even if you don’t feel pain immediately after the accident, it may take days or weeks. Some common symptoms of shoulder pain from a car accident include:

  • Pain when moving your arm
  • Swelling
  • Loss of range of motion
  • Numbness or tingling in your arm or hand
  • Bruising and discoloration around the shoulder area
  • Stiffness and aching

How Long to Recover?

The length of time it takes to recover from shoulder injuries can vary depending on the severity of the damage and the type of treatment you receive. Generally, it is recommended that you take some time off from any strenuous activities after an auto accident to allow your body to heal correctly. However, with proper rest and chiropractic care, most people experience a full recovery within weeks or months.
