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

Arm Pain After Car Accident

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.

This applies to arm pain after a car accident just as much as it does other types of pain.

What to do if you have arm pain after a car accident 

The first step is to see a doctor to diagnose the underlying causes of your pain. Doctors are able to perform a physical examination, review your medical history and order diagnostic imagery like an X-ray or MRI if needed. Common causes of arm pain after a car accident include: 

  • Fractures
  • Sprained ligaments
  • Strained muscles
  • Compressed nerves

The exact course of treatment will depend on the diagnosis, but in many cases physical therapy will be a key part of treatment for arm pain related to a car accident.
