Back Pain and Auto Injury

If you have back pain after a car crash, don't worry. Dr. Lipsitz sees this type of problem very often in our Waldorf, MD office. What causes back pain after an auto injury? How can chiropractic care help?

During a rear-end car crash, your car and car seat are rapidly accelerated forward against your body. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curvature of your spine, the seat can put inconsistent 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 promptly. Thankfully, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.
