Back Pain and Car Accidents

We treat many auto injury cases in in our West New York office, and a widespread symptom we see in our patients is back pain. Chiropractic care & osteopathic treatments can be very helpful for back pain symptoms after a crash. Let's see what causes back pain and why these methods work.

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 spine, the car seat can put inconsistent pressure 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 type of injury can cause chronic back pain if not treated promptly. Thankfully, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.
