Back Pain and Car Crashes

If you are dealing with back pain after an auto collision, you're not alone. Baker Chiropractic Wellness Center sees this type of condition frequently in our Parma, Middleburg Heights office. Let's look at the root cause of back pain after an auto collision and see how your chiropractor can help.

During a rear-end auto collision, your car and car seat are quickly accelerated forward against your body. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curvature of your spine, the seat can put inconsistent pressure 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 tissues that hold your spine together. This type of injury can cause chronic back pain if not treated right away. Thankfully, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.
