Roselle Chiropractic Treats Neck Issues After Car Accidents

What Causes Neck Pain After Car Crash? How Can Chiropractic Adjustments Help??

We manage many auto injury cases in our Roselle office, and a typical symptom our patients report is neck pain. Let's look at why neck pain is commonly experienced after an auto collision and see how chiropractic care can help you get better.

Even in a car wreck, your head is rapidly thrown back and forth, so it's not surprising that neck pain is the most common symptom from this type of injury. During even a low velocity car crash, your head is subjected to very rapid acceleration. In such crashes, a head that normally weighs about 10 pounds can suddenly weigh 80 or more pounds. This force exerts an extreme strain on the tissues of the neck. The bones of your spinal column 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 injured tissues gets swollen and painful, and that's what occurs after a car crash. Chiropractic helps by increasing mobility in the injured region, which helps the tissues heal and helps lessen scar tissue.
