Top Injuries After Auto Accidents—and Why Specialized Care Matters

Auto accidents can cause a wide range of injuries—from the obvious to the hidden. Even when symptoms don’t appear right away, underlying damage can linger, worsen, and complicate both recovery and no-fault insurance claims. That’s why accident-related injuries often require the expertise of RES Physical Medicine & Rehab, where our board-certified physicians and care team specialize exclusively in no-fault cases.

The Most Common Auto Accident Injuries

Whiplash
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries after a rear-end collision. The sudden back-and-forth motion can strain muscles, ligaments, and joints in the neck. Left untreated, whiplash may lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, and headaches. At RES, our specialists provide on-site diagnostic imaging, targeted rehab, and pain management to support a safe and lasting recovery.

Back and Spinal Injuries

From herniated discs to spinal misalignments, back injuries can be debilitating and may not always present immediate symptoms. Proper evaluation is critical to prevent long-term issues. RES offers advanced diagnostics, interventional treatments, and rehab strategies to help patients regain mobility and avoid chronic complications.

Concussions and Head Injuries

Concussions are notoriously difficult to diagnose without advanced evaluation. Symptoms like dizziness, memory problems, or difficulty concentrating may take hours—or even days—to appear. Our physicians at RES conduct thorough neurological assessments and coordinate supportive therapies to protect long-term cognitive health.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries are common after auto accidents, often causing pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. RES uses imaging, guided injections, and structured rehab to ensure these injuries heal properly and don’t lead to further complications.

Why Specialized Care Matters

Primary care providers and chiropractors play an essential role in early treatment—but accident-related injuries often require more than basic care. At RES, we focus solely on auto accident injuries and no-fault cases, giving patients and their providers peace of mind through:

  • Accurate diagnostics to identify injuries that may be overlooked elsewhere
  • Comprehensive treatment options including rehab, imaging and interventional pain management
  • Legal-ready documentation that supports no-fault insurance claims
  • Coordinated, multidisciplinary care—working closely with chiropractors, physical therapists and other specialists to ensure nothing falls through the cracks
