Neck and Back injuries are a common result of a person suffering any type of trauma following an accident. Symptoms of neck and back injuries may not become apparent until a couple of days, to a week later, or possibly longer. It is imperative that persons suffering neck and back injuries receive a medical evaluation as soon as possible to protect against future injury or exacerbation of the initial injury. Diagnostic tests are also necessary, such as an EMG, MRI, or CT Scan, to further diagnose any potential internal problems, and to determine the best course of medical treatment.
