Chiropractic Care Effective for Back Pain After Car Crashes

Back Pain is a common symptom after a car crash and it's something that Dr. Stern sees often in our Sunnyvale & San Francisco office.

Back Pain After a Car Crash

Let's take a look at why back pain is frequently experienced after a car crash and see how chiropractic can help you heal

Chiropractic care can be very helpful for back pain symptoms after a crash. Let's see what causes back pain and why chiropractic works.

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 back, the car seat can put inconsistent 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 movement can sprain or strain the ligaments that hold your spine together. These types of injuries can cause chronic back pain if not treated right away. Fortunately, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.
