Back Pain and Car Accidents

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

During a rear-end motor vehicle accident, your car and car seat are quickly accelerated forward against your torso. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curve of your back, the car seat can put uneven pressure on your back. This can cause some of your spinal vertebrae to move in one direction while an adjacent vertebrae might move in another direction. This differential motion can sprain or strain the structures that hold your spine together. This type of injury can cause chronic back pain if not treated promptly. Fortunately, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.

Dr. Robert Stein & Dr. Brian Lerman is here in Pikesville & Baltimore, MD to help you recover from back pain. We've been helping patients since 1993 and we can probably help you, too. First, we'll do a careful assessment to figure out the root cause of your pain, and then decide how to restore your body's natural functioning.
