Back Pain Treatment

Back Pain After a Car Accident — Maryland Chiropractor

Back injuries from auto accidents range from muscle strains to disc herniations. We identify, treat, and document all lumbar and thoracic injuries.

Understanding Your Injury

What It Is

The lower back absorbs significant force during vehicle collisions. Lumbar muscle strains, thoracic spine sprains, disc bulges, and facet joint injuries are all common results of auto accident trauma. Thoracic (mid-back) injuries are also frequent in side-impact crashes.

Many back injuries from accidents are not visible on standard X-rays — which is why a comprehensive chiropractic evaluation and clinical documentation are critical from the very first visit.

Signs & Symptoms

What You May Be Experiencing

Lower Back Pain

Acute or chronic aching, sharp pain with movement, and muscle spasm in the lumbar region are the most reported post-accident back complaints.

Mid-Back Pain

Thoracic spine injury from seatbelt restraint or side impact often causes pain between the shoulder blades and with deep breathing.

Leg Pain & Sciatica

Disc herniation from accident trauma can compress the sciatic nerve, causing pain, numbness, or weakness radiating down one or both legs.
