Back Pain and Car Crashes

We manage many auto injury cases in in our Cary office, and a widespread symptom we see in our patients is back pain. Let's take a look at why back pain is commonly experienced after an auto injury and see how your chiropractor can help you heal.

During a rear-end motor vehicle accident, your car and car seat are quickly accelerated forward against your torso. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curve of your spine, the car seat can put uneven force on your lower 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 right away. Fortunately, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.
