THE TRUTH
 ABOUT BACK
PAIN AFTER CAR
   ACCIDENT
Back Pain After A Car Accident
   While modern cars are much better at absorbing the impact of a collision than cars
    from a few decades ago, much of the energy from a car accident is still transferred
    through the passengers neck, back, and extremities.
    Even at low speeds, back pain, back muscle spasms, or other pains could be instant
    or they could take time to evolve. Sometimes you might not notice the pain
    because you are dazed, you had a head injury, or it was an injury that wasn’t
    apparent initially. Many of the causes of back pain related to a car accidents are
    injuries that could take days to become noticeable.
    When another car hits your car, the force is transferred through the car and into
    your body. A chiropractor or other health care professional would want to know
    many pieces of information so that they can narrow down the likely cause of
    your back pain.


    For example, back pain from a car accident could be caused by a herniation of your disc,
    sprained or strained ligaments and muscles, subluxation (a chiropractic one), broken
    bones in some cases, and many other reasons.
Should you visit a Chiropractor after a
  Car Accident?




A chiropractor will perform a proper history, examination, and imaging as necessary
to diagnose your back pain after you’ve been in a car accident.
Since a car accident is a significant trauma, the chiropractor will likely want to have
an X-ray or MRI done if you haven’t had one done already to exclude a fracture.
A typical treatment would initially consist of chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy
(massage, ice, muscle stimulation) followed by less frequent adjustments and
a rehabilitation program to restore any lost strength and endurance.
   Soft tissue injuries like those from car accidents take about 8-12 weeks to fully
    heal. Of course, this all depends on the severity and individual case of back pain but
    hopefully at the end of the path you will feel as though you were never in an
    accident.
   Conclusion
    Many states have laws that cover your medical bills if you were in an
    accident. Some states cover the bill whether it was your fault or not.
    If you have back pain following a car accident and injury you may want to
    contact a lawyer in your area that will know your local laws. Laws vary
    and you may be entitled to compensation for your medical care and
    associated future costs.
