Nashville TN Auto Injury Treatment and Shoulder Pain

Shoulder soreness is a condition experienced by many car wreck patients, and there are two common causes.

The first is direct injury to the shoulder during the impact. If your shoulder hits something directly, it can damage the joint capsule. In addition, if you are clenching the steering wheel tightly during a rear-end impact, your body can lag behind the car, placing strain on your wrists and shoulders.

The second cause of shoulder pain is not as direct and can be trickier to diagnose. Trauma to the neck or spine can create tension on the nerve fibers that travel from the spine to your shoulder, arm, and hands. This can be confusing, as the discomfort or numbness is felt in one part of your body, while the problem is actually in your spine.
