Traffic collisions are capable of causing a significant amount of damage to ones physical self. Unfortunately, pain is often a negative side effect of car accidents. It can manifest itself in many different ways. However, developing back pain can be especially debilitating. One such ailment that could develop is the slipping of a disk.

Many demands are placed on your spine every single day by gravity alone.
The spine holds up your head, shoulders, and upper body. It gives you support to stand up straight, and yet provides flexibility to bend and twist, all while protecting your spinal cord.
Each vertebra in your spine joins or articulates with other joints around it, to form a movable joint. Cartilage lines the joints and also forms the disc, which is made of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber for the spine.
Cartilage has no direct blood supply, so its nutrients have to be absorbed and toxins expelled through a process called “inbibition.” If the joint is misaligned and not moving properly, the cartilage and your spinal discs goes through a slow process of decay.
5 Options for Back Pain Treatment
Manual manipulation by a doctor of chiropractic can provide back pain relief by taking pressure off sensitive neurological tissue, increasing range of motion, restoring blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and creating a series of chemical reactions in the body that act as natural painkillers.

When leg-length deficiency, flat feet and/or subtalar instability are present, our doctors may prescribe a small heel lift in your shoe for the short leg side to help stabilize the pelvis and correct your walking gait.
If we change the pattern of your natural walking motion to be more anatomically friendly, your body reacts by eliminating its tension holding patterns and your Back Pain gets reduced dramatically.
A traction massage will include you the patient lying face up as a system of rollers move about the back, all the while stretching and massaging the muscles in the back that are causing your Back Pain.

During the course of your treatment with us, the Back Pain physician may recommend some modifications of your workstation or change the way you are sleeping at night which might inhibit the healing process.
