Understanding Your Injury
Numbness and tingling (paresthesia) following a car accident are typically caused by compression or irritation of spinal nerve roots - a condition called radiculopathy. During a high-force collision, spinal discs can herniate or bulge, pressing directly against nerve roots in the cervical spine (causing arm symptoms) or the lumbar spine (causing leg symptoms). Even without disc herniation, inflammation and muscle spasm around the spine can compress nerve tissue and produce radiating symptoms. Cervical radiculopathy (nerve compression in the neck) most commonly affects the C5, C6, and C7 nerve roots, causing pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates into the shoulder, arm, and fingers. Lumbar radiculopathy (affecting the L4-S1 nerve roots) causes the classic symptoms of sciatica down the leg.

Common Questions
Yes, and as soon as possible. Numbness or tingling after a car accident is a sign of nerve compression that can worsen without treatment. Our Glendale clinic is about 20 miles from I-605 Whittier. We conduct a full neurological screening, begin treatment immediately, and document findings for your personal injury case. We accept medical liens with no upfront cost.
Most post-accident nerve symptoms are caused by compression rather than permanent nerve damage, and they respond well to physical therapy. However, untreated nerve compression - especially from a herniated disc - can become chronic and in severe cases cause lasting weakness. Early evaluation and treatment is essential both for recovery and for documenting the extent of your nerve injury.
Arm numbness or tingling after a car accident most likely indicates cervical radiculopathy - compression of a nerve root in your neck from disc herniation, inflammation, or foraminal narrowing caused by the accident. This is a serious injury that requires a proper physical therapy evaluation, not just rest. Our team will perform a full cervical screen and begin treatment the same day.
