Largo Chiropractic Treats Neck Pain After Car Accidents

Why is Neck Pain Such a Common Condition After Car Accidents? How Can Chiropractic Care Help You Get Better?

We work with many auto injury cases in our Largo office, and a common symptom our patients report is neck pain. Let's look at the root cause of neck pain after a car crash and see how your chiropractor can help.

Your neck is subjected to very high stresses and strains during a car crash, so it's not surprising that neck pain is so common from this type of injury. During even a low velocity collision, your head is exposed to extremely rapid acceleration. In such accidents, a head that normally weighs about 10 pounds can suddenly weigh 80 or more pounds. This force exerts a serious strain on the tissues of the neck. The bones of your neck 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 damaged area become swollen and painful, and that's what occurs after a car crash. Your chiropractor helps by increasing movement in the injured region, which helps the ligaments heal and helps reduce scar tissue.
