Back Pain and Car Crashes

If you suffer from back pain after an auto collision, don't despair. Select Health and Wellness sees this type of condition very often in our Jacksonville and Fleming Island, FL office. What causes back pain after an auto injury? How can chiropractic care help?

During a rear-end auto collision, your car and car seat are rapidly accelerated forward against your torso. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curve of your back, the seat can put uneven 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 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.
