It may not only lead to simple cuts and bruises, but also traumatic brain injury.

Common Car Accident Back Injuries

In the absence of significant damage to the brain, your back may have sustained damage that requires both immediate medical treatment and an extensive rehabilitation program.

While back problems stemming from car accidents vary for every victim, three of the most common are spinal fractures, spondylolisthesis, and disc herniation.

Learn more about these back injuries and how our Jonesboro car accident injury Chiropractors can provide timely and effective relief.

Chiropractic Care for Spinal Fractures

Spinal fractures from car accidents usually affect the thoracic or midback and lumbar spine or lower back.

Pain from a spinal fracture can be felt for more than a few months.

However, treatment from a Chiropractor may expedite recovery by days or weeks.

Chiropractic Treatment for Spondylolisthesis

Spondylolisthesis is a condition where the bone or vertebra in the spine is pushed forward and juts out of proper position.

The symptoms of spondylolisthesis are lower back pain, stiffness, tenderness in the vertebra, muscle tightness, and leg weakness.

A Jonesboro Chiropractor can address spondylolisthesis through the strengthening and reinforcement of support muscles in the spine.

Spinal stabilization exercises and Chiropractic maneuvers can improve muscle strength.

Chiropractic Approach to Treating Disc Herniation

Car accidents can cause disc herniation in which the soft center of the disc pushes through the small crack in the outer part and aggravates the nerves.

To treat herniated discs, a Chiropractor prepares a treatment plan which may consist of spinal adjustment and other techniques. The plan may also consist of manual therapy and exercises.

Vehicular crashes can lead to back injuries such as spinal fractures, spondylolisthesis, and disc herniation.

One of our Jonesboro Chiropractors can provide timely and effective care which includes education, adjustments, and other techniques.
