Accident Injuries Q & A

What are accident injuries?

Accident injuries are bodily harm from an unexpected event. Sports injuries, work-related injuries, and car crash injuries are some examples.


Any type of accidental injury needs a medical evaluation. Even if you don’t have visible wounds or feel any pain, getting an exam following your accident ensures you get the care you need right away.


For example, you may not feel pain after a minor fender bender because your adrenaline masks the discomfort. But as the adrenaline wears off hours after the accident, you may start to feel stiffness or pain in your neck or back. 

What are common accident injuries?

You can injure any body part during an accident. Common accident injuries include:


  • Scrapes and bruises
  • Fractures
  • Strains and sprains
  • Lacerations
  • Head injuries
  • Whiplash
  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Knee pain

What happens during an evaluation for accident injuries?

AABP Integrative Pain Care and Wellness conducts a thorough pain assessment when you come in for help with managing pain from your injury. 


During your evaluation, your provider asks detailed questions about your symptoms, including location and type of pain you feel. They also inquire about the underlying incident that caused the injury.


Your provider reviews your medical history and does a physical exam. They may request additional testing to better understand the injury so they can provide the most effective treatment.
