Soft Tissue Injuries
Phoenix, Arizona, Whiplash Attorneys
Taking Soft Tissue Injuries Seriously
Soft tissue injuries are injuries to the tendons, ligaments, and muscles throughout your body. These injuries are among the most common types of injuries suffered in car accidents, and they can be among the most painful. Because they seem minor at first, it can take victims hours, and sometimes days, to experience symptoms. Unlike injuries to bones, soft tissue injuries cannot be detected by x-rays. Left untreated, they can lead to chronic and severe pain. They can also drive up your medical bills, require years of chiropractic care and cause you to miss work while you recover.

Taking Care of Your Health
Taking care of your health is important. Regardless of when your symptoms develop, you should seek proper medical attention for your whiplash or other soft tissue injury. Then, be sure to keep all appointments with your doctors and fully describe the effects of your injuries. It is difficult for the doctor to completely treat you without an accurate account of how your soft tissue injuries affect your life. Until all of your injuries have been identified and your condition has been resolved or stabilized, you should remain under your doctor’s or chiropractor’s care.
Many car accident injury victims don’t see a doctor because they think they cannot afford it. The Phoenix soft tissue injury lawyers at Solomon & Relihan know many well-respected doctors who can provide you the care you need now while waiting for payment until after your lawsuit has been completed.
Our Phoenix soft tissue injury attorneys can obtain a detailed description of your injuries and the records of the doctors and hospitals where you received treatment. If you become our client, our law office will be in touch with you to help you keep up to date with your health and recovery.
Types of Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains and Strains
- Sprain: Sprains are the most well-known type of soft tissue injury. A sprain is the stretching or tearing of a ligament. Common sprains include ankle sprains, knee sprains, and wrist sprains.
- Strain: Though it is often used interchangeably with sprain, a strain is a slightly different type of injury. A strain is the stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon. A strain can happen almost anywhere on your body, but they are particularly prevalent in the back muscles.
