Back injuries can be not only be dreadfully debilitating, but they can also be permanent without proper treatment making prevention the best course of action. At PhysioWellbeing, we find that many back injuries are associated with sports and improper lifting practices and, although these are a few main culprits when it comes to back pain, another very common cause is poor posture.
A road traffic accident can happen to anyone of us at any time and when it does the consequences can often, but not always be devastating, not just because of injuries sustained but also because of the after-effects; on daily life as well as on physical and psychological health.
But owing to the way that vehicles are designed, and driving habits are uniformly practised, any injuries are generally similar; and people injured in car accidents will sustain a different type of injury to those involved in motorcycle crashes.
