Back Pain and Car Accidents

Back Pain is a common symptom after an auto collision, and it's something that Dr. Dahlager sees often in our Noblesville office. Chiropractic can be very helpful for back pain symptoms after a crash. Let's see what causes back pain and why chiropractic works.

During a rear-end auto collision, your car and car seat are rapidly accelerated forward against your body. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curve of your spinal column, the seat can put uneven pressure 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 tissues that hold your spine together. These types of injuries can cause chronic back pain if not treated promptly. Fortunately, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.

You don't have to suffer from back pain. Dr. Dahlager is conveniently located in Noblesville to help you get better, whether you've been in a car crash or not. First, we'll do a careful evaluation to determine the root cause of your problem, and then decide how to restore your body's natural functioning.
