Causes of Car Accident Shoulder Pain

Car accident shoulder pain can be caused by a variety of sprains, strains and other musculoskeletal injuries that occur as a result of car accidents. Some common car accident injuries that can cause shoulder pain include:
01.

Torn rotator cuff

A torn rotator cuff is a tear in the group of muscles surrounding the shoulder. This can occur during a high impact incident like a car accident.
02.

Whiplash

Whiplash traditionally causes neck and back pain, however, this pain can radiate down the shoulders and arms. Whiplash can also cause muscle stiffness and limited range of mobility.
03.

Soft tissue injury

The soft tissues are any part of your body that are not bone. Damage to the soft tissues can involve muscles, tendons and ligaments. This type of injury can occur in car accidents when a person is thrown around the cabin of the car.
