Back & Neck Injuries in Accidents

Persons who in car accidents or fall downs often do not feel pain in their neck until the next day. Testing for neck injuries could include muscle conduction tests, MRI, CT scan, and X-ray. A person concerned about knee injury should probably consult a orthopedic doctor who can order and read most of the above tests).

Even in a low impact accident, there can be a neck injury. According to medical journal excerpts: 1) "The truth is that all driving can be dangerous. More than 80 per cent of all car crashes occur at speeds less than 40 mph. Fatalities involving non-belted occupants of cars have been recorded at as low as 12 mph. That's about the speed you'd be driving in a parking lot."

Seat belt safety pamphlet, number D)T HS 802 152, distributed by the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 2) "The amount of damage to the automobile bears little relation to the force applied to the cervical spine of the occupants. The acceleration of the occupant's head depends on the force imparted, the moment of inertia of the struck vehicle, and the amount of collapse of force dissemination by the crumpling of the vehicle. The inertia of the struck vehicle is related to the weight and the relative ease with which the vehicle rolls or moves forward."

Charles Caroll, M.D., Paul McAfee, M.D., Lee Riley, Jr., M.D.: Objective findings for diagnosis of "whiplash". Journal of Musculoskeletal Medicine, March, 1986, pp. 57-74. 3) "The accident does not need to be severe in order to generate cervical trauma. Using the brakes when the light suddenly turns red and when the neck is too relaxed is enough to cause trauma.
The neck may projected backwards even though not violently. The head, which weighs five kilograms and is balanced over the cervical spine, being supported by only two small articular surfaces no greater than a thumbnail, is also thrown backwards pulling the cervical spine with it. In addition, a sudden reflex contraction of the flexors on the neck occurs with a certain delay.

So what you are saying is that if you are NOT wearing a seat belt, a back impact will cause MORE trauma than if you are wearing a seat belt?
