What causes shoulder pain after a car crash? How can a chiropractor help?

Why is shoulder pain such a common condition after a car accident? How can chiropractic care help you recover? Let's see why shoulder pain is frequently experienced after an auto collision and see how chiropractic can help you heal. The key to recovering from shoulder pain caused by a crash is to understand the root cause of the problem and how chiropractic care can help. Chiropractic care can be very helpful for shoulder pain symptoms after a crash. Let's look at how shoulder pain is caused by a crash and how Dr. Elganainy can help you.

There are at least two ways that you can get shoulder pain after a car crash: by direct injury to the shoulder or by radiating pain from the neck.

Direct injury can be caused by hitting your shoulder on a hard surface in the car during the impact, or can occur if you have a tight grip on the steering wheel during a rear end collision. With this type of injury, you'll usually be aware of the pain soon after the wreck.

More commonly, Dr. Elganainy finds that shoulder or arm pain does not immediately appear after a collision, but begins a few days or weeks after the accident. This type of shoulder pain actually starts in the cervical spine. Injured soft tissue in your neck can pinch nerves in your neck, causing tingling, numbness, or soreness in your shoulder, elbow, or wrist.

We've worked with both types of shoulder pain in our Burton office. This process involves chiropractic adjustments to restore your spine's natural flexibility and exercises that strengthen your neck and shoulder.
