Back Pain and Auto Injury

Back Pain and Auto Injury

If you are suffering from back pain after a car crash, don't despair. Dr. Isom sees this type of problem frequently in our Lenexa office. Why is back pain such a common problem after an auto collision? How can chiropractic care help you recover?

During a rear-end motor vehicle accident, your car and car seat are quickly accelerated forward against your body. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curve of your spinal column, the car seat can put inconsistent force on your 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 ligaments that hold your spine together. This kind of injury can cause chronic back pain if not treated right away. Thankfully, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.

You don't have to suffer from back pain. Dr. Isom is conveniently located in Lenexa to help you heal, whether you've been in an auto collision or not. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis to determine what's causing your symptoms and then we will determine an appropriate treatment approach.
