Back Pain and Car Crashes

We manage many car accident cases in in our Smyrna, GA office, and a widespread symptom we see in our patients is back pain. What causes back pain after an auto collision? How can chiropractic care 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 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 motion can sprain or strain the structures 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.
