Allegheny Medical Treats Minor Car Accident Injuries

Allegheny Medical's minor emergency health care facility offers medical treatment for injuries sustained in car accidents.  Examples of these types of injuries include minor lacerations and wound repairs, minor burns and strains and sprains.  Car accident injuries specifically can affect all different parts of the body--but neck, back and head injuries are usually the most common.

For example, concussions are often associated with head injury as are headaches, lack of concentration, dizziness, depression or anxiety.  When it comes to the neck, one common injury is whiplash which is often associated with accidents involving rear impact.  Whiplash affects the soft tissue of the ligaments, muscles and nerves and can cause head and neck movement to be limited as well as neck pain.  Whiplash is often temporary, but in some cases it can be permanent and end up affecting many areas of an individual's life.

In terms of back injury, the disks of the mid and lower back are also often frequently injured in car accidents.  Compression fractures, bulges or herniations can also affect the spinal cord, and symptoms of these types of injuries include difficulty breathing, tingling, numbness and weakness of the arm or leg. As with whiplash and the neck, the back ligaments, muscles and nerves can be traumatized in an accident causing inflammation and pain.

While some injuries are immediately apparent after an accident, others do not manifest themselves until days, or sometimes weeks later.  In either situation, you can count on Allegheny Medical to treat your minor car accident injuries in a family friendly, comfortable and private environment.
