A motor vehicle accident can change everything in a split second. The mid-cervical spine is especially vulnerable, and significant injuries in this region often go undiagnosed without proper imaging.
Advanced MRI and dynamic digital X-ray evaluation can clearly identify structural damage and instability patterns that are not visible on routine studies. The good news? When properly diagnosed early, the prognosis for eliminating neck pain and restoring function can be very strong.
In this case, imaging revealed significant mid-cervical injury following automobile trauma — along with an interesting congenital variation of the C1 spinous process. Findings like these reinforce one simple truth: you cannot treat what you do not properly diagnose.
If you have been involved in an automobile accident — even if symptoms seem “manageable” — do not wait.
