Neck & Back Pain After a Car Crash
Care for spinal and muscular injuries from the impact, seatbelt strain, and bracing during a crash.
OVERVIEW
Why accident back pain is different
In a collision your body braces against the seat, seatbelt, and steering wheel. That can strain the muscles along the spine, irritate joints, and in some cases affect discs or nerves.
We look at the whole spine, not only where it hurts, and build a plan that combines hands-on care with movement so you can return to normal activity.
Signs to watch for
- Low back pain when sitting or standing
- Mid-back pain or muscle spasm
- Pain radiating into the buttock or leg
- Difficulty bending or lifting
- Sleep disrupted by pain
