Prescott, AZ Auto Injury Therapy and Shoulder Pain

Shoulder discomfort is a condition reported by many car wreck patients, and there are two common explanations.

The first is direct damage to the shoulder during the wreck. If your shoulder strikes something directly, it can damage the joint capsule. In addition, if you are gripping the steering wheel tightly during a rear-end crash, your torso can lag behind the car, putting stress on your wrists and shoulders.

The second cause of shoulder pain is less direct and can be tougher to identify. Shock to the neck or back can create tension on the nerves that travel from the spine to your shoulder, arm, and hands. This can be puzzling, as the discomfort or numbness is sensed in one part of your body, while the problem is actually in your spine.
