Back Pain After an Auto Injury

What causes back pain after an auto injury? How can a chiropractor help?

Chiropractic care is an effective way to treat back pain. Let's look at how back pain is caused by a crash and how Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes can help you.

During a rear-end motor vehicle accident, your car and car seat are quickly accelerated forward against your torso. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curvature of your spine, the seat can put uneven force 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 motion can sprain or strain the tissues 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.

Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes is here in State College to help you recover from back pain. We've been helping patients for many years and we can probably help you, too. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis to determine what's causing your pain and then we will determine an appropriate treatment plan of action.
