Harleysville Chiropractic Helps Relieve Neck Problems After Car Accidents
What Causes Neck Pain After Car Accidents? How Can Chiropractic Treatment Help??
If you are suffering from neck pain after a car accident, you're not alone. Dr. Szilagyi sees this type of problem frequently in our Harleysville office. Chiropractic care is an effective way to treat neck pain. Let's look at how neck pain is caused by a crash and how Dr. Szilagyi can help you.
The neck is exposed to very high stresses and strains during an auto collision, so it's not surprising that neck pain is so common from this type of injury. During even a low speed crash, your head is subjected to extremely rapid acceleration. In such collisions, a head that normally weighs about 10 pounds can suddenly weigh eight times as much. This force exerts a severe strain on the tissues of the cervical spine. The bones of your spinal column are held together with strong bands of tissue called ligaments, and these ligaments provide stability for your neck. These ligaments can be sprained during a car crash, just as your ankle ligaments can be sprained. A sprain means that the ligament is stretched or torn.
When you experience a sprained ligament, the injured area become inflamed and tender, and that's what occurs after a car crash. Your chiropractor helps by increasing flexibility in the injured region, which helps the ligaments heal and helps decrease scar tissue.
