Why Seat Belt and Airbag Injuries Occur

A seat belt is one of the crucial safety features in a car. If you are involved in an accident, it reduces the severity of the injuries by preventing you from flying out of the vehicle, which would lead to fatalities. However, the seat belt might cause injuries on impact. When a vehicle is involved in an accident, the airbags will come out at an extremely high speed. It is undeniable that airbags save lives and reduce the severity of injuries, but they may also cause accidents to the driver and passenger.

Common Seat Belt and Airbag Injuries

There are many types of airbag or seatbelt injuries that can occur. Some common seatbelt and airbag injuries include:

• Herniated or bulging discs: When your discs are forced out of place, it causes them to protrude or, in severe cases, even rupture.
• Subluxations: This is any misalignment in the spine or a joint that can cause tenderness, muscle soreness, pain, numbness, and stiffness.
• Whiplash: Whiplash can lead to pain and stiffness in the neck or shoulders.

It can take days or even weeks for an auto accident injury to begin to show any symptoms. That’s why it’s crucial to visit us at Chiropractor USA after your accident for a proper assessment before symptoms set in.
