Neck pain is a common condition after an auto injury and it's something that Dr. Elganainy sees frequently in our Burton office. Chiropractic care is an excellent way to treat neck pain. Let's look at how neck pain is caused by a crash and how Dr. Elganainy can help you.
It's not surprising that neck pain is the most common problem experienced after a crash. During even a low velocity wreck, your head is exposed to extremely rapid acceleration. In such collisions, a head that normally weighs about 10 pounds can instantly weigh eight times as much. This force exerts an extreme strain on the tissues of the neck. 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 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 become swollen and painful, and that's what takes place after a car crash. Chiropractic helps by increasing movement in the injured area, which helps the ligaments heal and helps lessen scar tissue.
If you've been hurt in a car crash and you're experiencing neck pain, Dr. Elganainy is here to help. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis to determine what's causing your pain and then we will determine an appropriate treatment approach.
