Back Pain and Car Accidents

We treat many auto injury cases in in our Depew office, and a common 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 spine, the seat can put uneven 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 structures 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.

You don't have to suffer from back pain. Dr. Palmer is conveniently located in Depew to help you recover, whether you've been in a car crash or not.
