Neck pain is a common condition after an auto injury and it's something that Back Pain Chiropractic sees often in our Texarkana office. Chiropractic is an excellent way to treat neck pain. Let's look at how neck pain is caused by a crash and how Back Pain Chiropractic can help you.
It's not surprising that neck pain is the most common symptom experienced after a car crash. During even a low velocity crash, your head is exposed to very rapid acceleration. In such crashes, a head that normally weighs about 10 pounds can instantly weigh 80 or more pounds. This force exerts an extreme strain on the tissues of the cervical spine. 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 the ligaments in your ankle can be sprained. A sprain means that the ligament is stretched or torn.
When you experience a sprained ligament, the injured tissues become inflamed and painful, and that's what takes place after a car crash. Your chiropractor helps by increasing flexibility in the injured region, which helps the tissues heal and helps minimize scar tissue.
You don't have to suffer from neck pain. Back Pain Chiropractic is conveniently located in Texarkana to help you heal, whether you've been in an auto collision or not.
