Just in an accident? Here are steps you should follow regarding back pain.

Have you recently been in a car accident that has left you with back pain? Car accidents can cause serious neck and back complications.  The pain after a car accident can be severe, however, there is help! A chiropractor in Ronkonkoma like Dr. James Lambert or Dr. Bruce Burns can help alleviate the pain and improve movement, getting back to completing daily activities pain-free.  

What motion causes the back pain? – Whiplash

 

When a car slams into another car, there are forceful movements that cause everything in the car to move in that direction. This intense force can create enormous pressure on the neck and back.  This forceful jerking motion is known as whiplash. Since the spine is not designed to handle that amount of force, whiplash can cause numerous injuries to the spine.

Some of the most common pain injuries caused by a car accident are disc injuries and facet joint injuries. Both of these pain-related injuries can be debilitating and extremely painful, therefore, if you are experiencing any pain after a car accident, it is crucial to get examined immediately before the complications worsen.

What are the steps?

First and foremost, get examined by a doctor. Even if you do not experience pain right away, you should still be examined as a precaution since many symptoms of injuries do not occur right away.  A doctor may then refer you to a chiropractor. Wondering how a chiropractor can help you? A chiropractor in Ronkonkoma like Dr. Lambert or Dr. Berns are trained specialists that help with many complications related to pain. Common issues such as neck pain, back pain, and shoulder pain.
