If you have neck pain after a car accident, don't worry. Silver Chiropractic & Wellness sees this type of problem very often in our Jacksonville office. The key to recovering from neck pain caused by a crash is to understand the root cause of the problem and how chiropractic care can help.
Even in a car crash, your head is rapidly thrown back and forth, so it's not surprising that neck pain is the most common symptom from this type of injury. During even a low speed collision, your head is exposed to extremely rapid acceleration. In such crashes, a head that normally weighs about 10 pounds can instantly weigh eight times as much. This force exerts a severe strain on the tissues of the neck. 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 car crash, 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 tender, and that's what takes place after a car crash. Chiropractic helps by increasing flexibility in the injured area, which helps the ligaments heal and helps reduce scar tissue.
You don't have to suffer from neck pain. Silver Chiropractic & Wellness is conveniently located in Jacksonville to help you get better, whether you've been in a car crash or not. Silver Chiropractic & Wellness will first determine what's causing your neck pain and then will work to restore your body to its natural functioning.
