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

Why is shoulder pain such a common symptom after a car crash? How can your chiropractor help you recover? Let's look at the root cause of shoulder pain after an accident and see how chiropractic care can help. The key to recovering from shoulder pain caused by a crash is to understand the root cause of the problem and how chiropractic care can help. Chiropractic can be very helpful for shoulder pain symptoms after a crash. Let's look at how shoulder pain is caused by a crash and how Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes can help you.

There are at least two ways that you can get shoulder problems after a car crash: by direct trauma to the shoulder or by referred pain from the neck.

Direct trauma can be caused by striking your shoulder on a hard surface in the car during the crash, or can occur if you have a tight grip on the steering wheel during a rear end crash. With this type of injury, you'll usually be aware of the pain soon after the wreck.

More frequently, Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes finds that shoulder or arm pain does not immediately appear after a crash, but begins a few days or weeks after the accident. This type of shoulder pain actually starts in the neck. Injured soft tissue in your neck can tweak nerves in your neck, causing tingling, numbness, or pain in your shoulder, elbow, or wrist.

We've worked with both kinds of shoulder problems in our State College office. This approach involves chiropractic adjustments to restore your spine's natural mobility and exercises that strengthen your neck and shoulder.
