Car Accident Back PainBack pain after a car accident can range from mild soreness and stiffness to pain that interferes with work, exercise, sleep or everyday activities. Lyn Lake Chiropractic provides chiropractic care for back pain and other musculoskeletal symptoms following auto accidents.
Common Back Symptoms After an Accident
- Lower-back and mid-back pain
- Muscle soreness and stiffness
- Pain with movement or reduced range of motion
- Hip or pelvic discomfort
- Pain that develops days after the accident
A collision creates sudden forces throughout the body and spine that may affect the muscles, joints and other structures of the back. An evaluation can help determine what is contributing to your symptoms and whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
Chiropractic Care for Accident-Related Back Pain
Depending on your condition, treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, massage therapy, therapeutic exercise, rehabilitation and other supportive treatments. Treatment is individualized based on your symptoms and examination.
If you experience severe symptoms, significant weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin or saddle area, or other emergency symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. Patients can choose whichever of our Uptown Minneapolis or Golden Valley clinics is most convenient.
