Chiropractic Care Extremely Effective for Neck Issues After Car Crashes
Why is Neck Pain Such a Common Condition After Car Crashes? How Can Chiropractic Care Help You Heal?
Neck pain is a common problem after a car crash and it's something that Dr. Wagner sees often in our Alexandria office. The key to recovering from neck pain caused by a crash is to understand the root cause of the problem and how chiropractic care can help.
Your neck is subjected to very high forces during an auto injury, so it's not surprising that neck pain is so common from this type of injury. During even a low speed wreck, your head is exposed to extremely 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 area become swollen and painful, and that's what takes place after a car crash. Your chiropractor helps by increasing mobility in the injured area, which helps the ligaments heal and helps decrease scar tissue.
