Back Pain and Auto Injury

We work with many auto injury cases in in our Hauppauge, Long Island office, and a widespread symptom we see in our patients is back pain. Let's look at the root cause of back pain after an auto collision and see how chiropractic care can help.

During a rear-end auto collision, your car and car seat are quickly accelerated forward against your body. Since car seats don't perfectly align with the curvature of your spinal column, the seat can put uneven pressure on your lower back. This can cause some of your spinal vertebrae to move in one direction while an adjacent vertebrae might move in another direction. This differential movement can sprain or strain the tissues that hold your spine together. This kind of injury can cause chronic back pain if not treated right away. Thankfully, chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain.

If you've been hurt in a car crash and you're struggling with back pain, Dr. Cohen is here to help. First, we'll do a careful examination to establish the root cause of your problem, and then decide how to restore your body's natural functioning.
