Chiropractic Supports Neck Pain After Car Accidents

Why is Neck Pain Such a Common Problem After Auto Injury? How Can Chiropractic Treatment Help You Recover?

Neck pain is a common condition after an auto collision and it's something that Back Pain Chiropractic sees frequently in our Texarkana office. Let's look at the root cause of neck pain after an auto injury and see how chiropractic can help.

It's not surprising that neck pain is the most common problem experienced after a car crash. During even a low velocity car crash, your head is subjected to very rapid acceleration. In such collisions, a head that normally weighs about 10 pounds can instantly weigh eight times as much. This force exerts an extreme strain on the tissues of the cervical spine. The bones of your neck are held together with strong bands of tissue called ligaments, and these ligaments provide stability for your neck. These ligaments can be sprained during a collision, just as your ankle ligaments can be sprained. A sprain means that the ligament is stretched or torn.

When you experience a sprained ligament, the damaged tissues gets inflamed and sore, and that's what happens after a car crash. Chiropractic helps by increasing movement in the injured region, which helps the ligaments heal and helps reduce scar tissue.
