Back Pain and Car Crashes

Back Pain is a common problem after a car crash, and it's something that Dr. Wagner sees often in our Alexandria, KY office. Let's look at the root cause of back pain after a car crash and see how your chiropractor can help.

During a rear-end car crash, your car and car seat are rapidly accelerated forward against your torso. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curve of your spine, the car seat can put inconsistent 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 motion can sprain or strain the tissues that hold your spine together. This type 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.

Let us help you recover from back pain. Dr. Wagner has helped many patients with the same problem, and we can probably help you, too. Dr. Wagner will first determine what's causing your pain and then work to restore your body to its natural functioning. Ready to make an appointment?
