Can a car accident cause scoliosis? In rare instances, severe car accidents can result in scoliosis if the individuals involved sustain significant spinal injuries. However, it’s more typical for car accidents to exacerbate existing scoliosis symptoms rather than directly cause the condition.
In many car accidents, the driver or passenger may suffer a spinal cord injury, including scoliosis.
According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), car crashes account for approximately 39.3% of spinal cord injuries in the United States.
