Dislocations, sprains and strains involving head with neck - what does this mean
Dislocations, sprains and strains involving the head and neck are usually caused by trauma, such as a fall, sudden jerking motion, or an auto accident. these injuries cause a disruption of the normal alignment of the joints and muscles in the neck and head, resulting in pain, swelling, and limited range of motion.
What happens during the disease - dislocations, sprains and strains involving head with neck
Dislocations, sprains and strains involving the head and neck can be caused by a sudden, traumatic force such as a fall or a blow to the head. this force causes the ligaments, tendons, and muscles in the neck area to stretch or tear, resulting in pain, swelling, and instability. in some cases, the force can cause a dislocation of the vertebrae in the neck, leading to further pain and instability. in severe cases, this can lead to nerve damage, paralysis, and other complications.
