Back Pain and Car Accidents

Back Pain is a common problem after a car crash, and it's something that Dr. Tim Six sees often in our Great Falls, MT office. What causes back pain after an auto collision? How can chiropractic care help?

During a rear-end car crash, your car and car seat are rapidly accelerated forward against your torso. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curvature of your spinal column, the seat can put inconsistent force on your lower 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 tissues that hold your spine together. This kind of injury can cause chronic back pain if not treated right away. Thankfully, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.

Dr. Tim Six is here in Great Falls, MT to help you recover from back pain. We've been helping patients since 1983 and we can probably help you, too. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis to determine what's causing your symptoms and then we will determine an appropriate treatment plan of action. Call us today at (406) 452-6929 if you have questions or would like to make an appointment.
