Car accidents can severely injure your spine sometimes even causing herniated or bulging discs. Sudden impacts can push the discs out of alignment and can even cause a rupture of the disc. This leads to the gel inside the disc to leak out and cause nerve pain. Your back is the center where nerves, muscles, and ligaments come together and can easily be injured in a car accident leading to severe pain and limited motion. Sudden jerking movements and impact(s) can cause fractures in the spine and the facet joints.

Chest injuries can occur when hitting the steering wheel on impact. This can lead to broken ribs, internal damage, and sore muscles. Our care can help alleviate pain or discomfort in any of these parts of the body. Come in for a consultation to see how our team can help you recover.
