A Few Seconds of Chaos Can Change Your Life Forever

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that there are more than 250 million registered vehicles on the road in the US at any given time. With so many vehicles crowding our nation's highways and byways, it's no wonder that more than 2 million traffic accident injuries are sustained each year.

Even apparently minor injuries can have long-term effects on your physical and emotional health,  your job, and your finances.

Denver car accident treatment specialist, Dr. Randy Eldridge has more than 25 years of experience treating some of the most common car accident-related injuries, including:

• Whiplash – the most commonly reported car accident injury, whiplash is an injury to the soft tissue of the neck, restricting the mobility of the victim's head and neck. While this impairment is usually temporary, if left untreated, the condition can come to affect many or all aspects of your life and health.
• Spinal cord injuries – spinal chord injuries run the gamut from minor, all the way up to paralysis and internal organ damage. Because the spinal chord is essential to so many of the body's systems, serious spinal chord injuries can be extremely complex to treat. Signs and symptoms of spinal chord injury may include loss of movement and/or sensation; changes in sexual function, bladder and bowel control; pain or stinging sensations; and exaggerated reflex activities (spasms).
• Back injuries – other than injuries to your spinal chord, the back is also vulnerable to herniations, disc ruptures and bulges, pinched nerves, muscle damage, and other painful conditions. As with any other Denver auto injury, get treatment as soon as possible to avoid long-term pain that can negatively impact your life for years to come.

In addition to these back and neck related symptoms, other common car accident injuries include brain and head trauma, broken bones and soft tissue bruising, and leg and knee wounds. If you believe you've sustained a car accident injury, it's crucial that you seek medical attention as soon as possible.
