Causes of Back & Neck Pain After a Car Accident

Back and neck pain is a common complaint after a car accident. It can range from mild discomfort to severe and debilitating pain. This type of pain can be caused by a variety of factors including whiplash, muscle strain, or even a herniated disc.

WHIPLASH

One of the most common causes of back and neck pain after a car accident is whiplash. Whiplash is a type of neck injury that occurs when your head is forcefully thrown back and forth in a rapid motion. This can cause damage to the muscles, ligaments, and nerves in your neck and upper back, leading to pain and stiffness. The symptoms of whiplash can take several hours or even days to appear, so it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after a car accident.

MUSCLE STRAIN

Another common cause of back pain after a car accident is muscle strain. When you are involved in a car accident, your body may be subjected to sudden and unexpected movements that can cause your muscles to contract or stretch too far. This can lead to soreness, stiffness, and even spasms in your back muscles. Rest, ice, and over-the-counter pain medications can help alleviate this type of pain.

HERNIATED DISC

In some cases, back pain after a car accident may be caused by a herniated disc. A herniated disc occurs when one of the discs between the vertebrae in your spine bulges or ruptures, putting pressure on the nerves in your back. This can cause pain, numbness, and tingling sensations in your back, legs, and arms. Treatment for a herniated disc may include physical therapy, medication, or even surgery, depending on the severity of the injury.

Importance of Early Treatment

With all of the auto injury patients we’ve treated over the years, we’ve seen many folks suffering from chronic pain caused by an old collision. In fact, research shows that a significant percentage of rear-end collisions result in pain and disability even ten years after the crash. Our goal at AmeriWell Clinics is to help you avoid developing chronic pain by quickly restoring the natural function of your spine soon after a crash.

The most common causes of chronic pain are the reduced mobility of your spine and the development of scar tissue in your spine. The ligaments of your spine can easily be injured during a crash, and chiropractic works by reducing inflammation and restoring normal motion.

Thankfully, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back and neck pain. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis to determine what’s causing your pain and then we will determine an appropriate treatment strategy.
