Soft tissue injuries include a wide variety of injuries you may be familiar with. If you have been in a car accident, you may have suffered whiplash – a soft tissue injury. Tendonitis, bursitis, and other repetitive motion injuries are also soft tissue injuries.

Soft Tissue Injury Types

There are several common types of soft tissue injuries caused during accidents:

  • Bruising is a red or purple spot caused by an impact. Discolouration alone may not be cause for alarm, but a lump or pain in addition to discolouration may require medical attention. Medically, bruising is referred to as a “contusion.”
  • Sprains are ligament injuries. While they are commonly thought of as being milder than a broken bone, sprains may require extensive rehabilitation and can inhibit your daily activities for weeks or months.
  • Strain is an injury of a muscle or tendon. Strains may cause painful movement, reduced range of motion, and tenderness. Recovery from a strain may require months of rehabilitation like physiotherapy.

While soft tissue injuries can be extremely painful, they are often challenging to prove. X-rays, MRIs, and other imaging scans may not display soft tissue injuries. To build a strong case, you may need your medical records, documentation from therapy providers, and even testimony from family and friends.
