Back Pain and Car Accidents

We treat many auto injury cases in in our Parma office, and a common symptom we see in our patients is back pain. Chiropractic is an excellent way to treat back pain. Let's look at how back pain is caused by a crash and how Dr. Baker can help you.

During a rear-end car crash, your car and car seat are quickly accelerated forward against your body. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curve of your back, the car seat can put inconsistent force 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 ligaments that hold your spine together. These types of injuries can cause chronic back pain if not treated right away. Fortunately, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.

Dr. Baker has been helping patients in Parma since 2001, so we know what you're going through. We're here to help you, too. Dr. Baker will first determine what's causing your pain and then work to restore your body to its natural functioning.
