Arm pain after a car accident — relief for patients in Battle Creek, MI

The unpredictable nature and high-impact forces associated with a car accident can result in a wide range of issues for patients dealing with car accidents, including arm pain. Patients who have been in a car accident should always get checked out by a doctor, even if they walk away with little or no pain. Often, by the time more serious symptoms start to develop, the underlying condition has progressed further than if it had been caught early.

• Fractures
• Sprained ligaments
