Back Pain and Auto Injury

Back Pain and Auto Injury

Back Pain is a common symptom after an auto injury, and it's something that Dr. Jerrad Swanson DC, FMT, DN1 sees frequently in our Lincoln office. The key to recovering from back pain caused by a crash is to understand the root cause of the problem and how chiropractic care can help.

During a rear-end auto collision, your car and car seat are quickly accelerated forward against your body. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curve of your back, the seat can put inconsistent force on your lower 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 structures that hold your spine together. These types of injuries can cause chronic back pain if not treated right away. Fortunately, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.

Dr. Jerrad Swanson DC, FMT, DN1 is here in Lincoln to help you recover from back pain. We've been helping patients since 2000 and we can probably help you, too.
