Back Pain is a common condition after an auto injury and it's something that Dr. Holland sees often in our Downtown St. Louis, MO office.
Why is back pain such a common problem after a car accident? How can chiropractic care help you heal?
Let's look at the root cause of back pain after a car crash and see how chiropractic can help.
During a rear-end car crash, your car and car seat are quickly accelerated forward against your body. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curve of your spinal column, the car 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 ligaments that hold your spine together. This type of injury can cause chronic back pain if not treated promptly. Thankfully, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.
