Lower Back Treatment From Your Fayetteville Chiropractor

When we think of auto accident injuries we often think of whiplash affecting our upper cervical region and neck, but low back pain can also be a result. Recent research of cadavers placed in accelerating vehicles measured upon impact showed that impact not only significantly affected the cervical region, but also the T12 and L4 region. If you have been involved in a car accident, now is the most ideal time to visit our office. 

Have You Recently Experienced Whiplash In Fayetteville?

Whiplash can affect your cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions. When whiplash occurs, the force of impact quickly moves ligaments, tendons, muscles and vertebrae that do not normally move at that speed or in those particular directions. While you may not be experiencing any pain now, it could take several days to a week for the experiencing of pain to set in. This may manifest as loss of range of motion, disturbed vision, low back and mid back stiffness and pain, numbness, tingling, headaches and mood fluctuations. 

Treatment For Low Back Pain As A Result Of Auto Accident

When you see our auto accident chiropractor we will determine which area of the spine is subluxed. The immediate care we offer is aimed at getting you out of pain or preventing it from setting in. We will work to realign any subluxed regions as we provide corrective and rehabilitative care and then move on to preventive care. 

We will use decompressive chiropractic techniques to take pressure off of discs in the low back. You will comfortably lay down on the table where a distractive force may be applied. This type of technique is used to precisely pinpoint areas of pain and misalignment in the most gentle way possible. We may also suggest the use of massage therapy, at-home exercises and nutritional counseling to advance your regular chiropractic treatments with us. 

Please feel welcome to visit us even if your injury from car accident is an old one.
