March 16, 2000 (Atlanta) -- It's stating the
obvious to say that people involved in car
crashes not only want to survive the
accident, but walk away from it, too.
But, according to statistics from the
National Spinal Cord Injury Database, since
1991, motor vehicle crashes have accounted
for about 36% of all new spinal cord
injuries in the U.S., and car wrecks remain
the No. 1 cause of spinal injury.
A new study from the University of
Pittsburgh Medical Center shows that using a
seatbelt in combination with an airbag can
significantly decrease the risk of spinal
injury in an auto accident.
As other injuries can occur from such
accidents, Houston Health & Wellness Center
is prepared to help with the healing process
of your injuries and get you on the quick
road to recovery! |
