Shoulder discomfort is a problem experienced by many car wreck patients, and there are two common explanations.
The first is direct trauma to the shoulder during the crash. If your shoulder strikes something directly, it can injure the joint capsule. Also, if you are clenching the steering wheel tightly during a rear-end crash, your body can lag behind the car, putting tension on your wrists and shoulders.
The second cause of shoulder pain is less direct and can be more difficult to diagnose. Injuries to the neck or spine can create stress on the nerves that travel from the spine to your shoulder, arm, and hands. This can be baffling, as the painful sensation or numbness is experienced in one part of your body, while the problem is actually in your spine.
