Back Pain From An Auto Accident in Harrisburg

At Skocik Chiropractic in Harrisburg, we help our patients suffering from back pain. Using all natural chiropractic techniques, we help alleviate swelling and reduce muscle tension. Back pain is a common problem among car accident victims. During a high impact event, jarring of the muscles and joints in the back can cause injury and muscle strain. Back pain, tingling and numbness in the extremities, muscle stiffness and limited mobility are common problems among adults involved in car accidents.

Causes of Back Pain from Auto Accidents

There are many causes of back pain from auto accidents, including:

• Herniated disc. A herniated disc is a vertebral disc that has ruptured from the casing that encloses it. A herniated disc can cause back pain, numbness, tingling, and difficulty moving.
• Whiplash. Whiplash causes upper back pain, limited mobility, muscle stiffness, headaches and more. Whiplash occurs when the muscles and ligaments in the neck develop tiny tears.
• Muscle strain. Muscle strain in the back can cause pain for days or weeks after an accident.

How Chiropractic Care in Harrisburg Can Help

As your chiropractor in Harrisburg, we use a variety of techniques to help your body heal after an accident occurs. Spinal adjustment is the core method of treatment that we use to realign the spine and reduce pressure on the spinal cord. This technique helps improve the functioning of the central nervous system and can help the body heal after an accident occurs.

In addition to spinal adjustment, we also help patients by teaching them to do stretches and exercises that loosen the muscles and improve range of motion. Patients perform stretches and exercises inside and outside the clinic, so they can work on their healing in their free time.
