We deal with many auto injury cases in our State College office, and a typical symptom our patients report is neck pain. Chiropractic is an effective way to treat neck pain. Let's look at how neck pain is caused by a crash and how Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes can help you.
It's not surprising that neck pain is the most common problem experienced after an auto injury. During even a low velocity wreck, your head is subjected to very rapid acceleration. In such crashes, a head that normally weighs about 10 pounds can suddenly weigh eight times as much. This force exerts a serious strain on the tissues of the cervical spine. 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 wreck, 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 tissues gets inflamed and tender, and that's what takes place after a car crash. Chiropractic helps by increasing flexibility in the injured region, which helps the ligaments heal and helps lessen scar tissue.
