Back Pain is a common symptom after an auto collision and it's something that Lifeplus Health Centers sees frequently in our Lynnwood office.
What causes back pain after a car crash? How can chiropractic help?
Let's look at the root cause of back pain after an auto collision and see how chiropractic can help.
During a rear-end auto collision, your car and car seat are quickly accelerated forward against your torso. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curve of your back, the car seat can put uneven force on your back. This can cause some of your spinal vertebrae to move in one direction while an adjacent vertebrae might move in another direction. This differential movement can sprain or strain the ligaments that hold your spine together. This kind of injury can cause chronic back pain if not treated promptly. Fortunately, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.
If you've been hurt in a car crash and you're experiencing back pain, Lifeplus Health Centers is here to help. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis to determine what's causing your pain and then we will determine an appropriate treatment strategy.
