What are the signs of a spinal injury after a car accident?
Signs of a spinal injury include neck or back pain, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, weakness, difficulty walking, loss of bladder or bowel control, and pain that radiates down the arms or legs. Any of these symptoms after an accident require immediate medical evaluation.
