Soft tissue injuries are characterized as any damage to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, or fascia in the body. These injuries commonly stem from sprains, strains, or contusions sustained in a low-velocity collision. Though they are not as obvious as a broken bone or a laceration, they can be just as serious, necessitating surgery, weeks of physiotherapy, medication, and a long recovery. Common soft tissue injuries resulting from car accidents include contusions, strains, sprains, whiplash, and tendonitis/bursitis.
