Experiencing Back Pain After An Accident? Seeing A Chiropractor Could Be Crucial

Back pain is one of the most common symptoms following a car accident. Even minor accidents can leave you with an injury. Left untreated, back pain or injuries can cause chronic pain and become an ongoing problem for a lifetime. This can impact your ability to perform normal, every day activities without pain.


Seeking treatment as soon as possible is crucial. In some cases, it takes several days for the pain to become noticeable. Don't wait until you feel pain to seek medical attention. At Rainey Chiropractic, we help diagnose and treat accident-related injuries so they don't impact you later in life.


What causes back injuries in a car accident?


When you get into a car accident, minor or major, your car experiences an intense impact. Sometimes that impact is equivalent to the force of about 6 tons. While your car is being impacted, your body is still in motion until something stops it. Whether it be the seat belt, the airbag or the windshield, the abrupt stop in motion can cause severe injuries.


Common symptoms following a car accident


Back pain after an accident can sometimes be hard to determine. It is common to feel sore all over, so distinguishing different pain points can be difficult. Pain in the back can be a result of fractures, swelling, or compressed nerves. Here are other common symptoms of a back injury:


  • Sharp pain
  • Stiffness
  • Tingling or numbness
  • Burning pain
  • Muscle spasms

While medications may provide temporary relief, they often don’t address the underlying cause. Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive approach to treating headaches and migraines by targeting spinal misalignments, muscle tension, and nerve irritation that may be contributing to your pain.
