If you have neck pain after an auto collision, don't worry. Alliance Chiropractic sees this type of condition frequently in our Tulsa office. Let's look at the root cause of neck pain after an auto collision and see how your chiropractor can help.
It's not surprising that neck pain is the most common problem experienced after an auto injury. During even a low velocity car crash, your head is subjected to very rapid acceleration. In such collisions, a head that normally weighs about 10 pounds can instantly weigh 80 or more pounds. This force exerts a serious strain on the tissues of the cervical spine. The bones of your spine 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 collision, just as the ligaments in your ankle can be sprained. A sprain means that the ligament is stretched or torn.
When you experience a sprained ligament, the injured area gets swollen and sore, and that's what happens after a car crash. Your chiropractor helps by increasing mobility in the injured area, which helps the ligaments heal and helps minimize scar tissue.
