Many people come into our Savannah Chiropractic Clinic to talk with our Doctors and Chiropractors about nagging Neck Pain and Upper Back Pain that affects their quality of life.
Most Upper Back and Neck Pain results from injuries sustained to muscles and ligaments in the cervical and upper thoracic spine.
Neck Pain has many common causes that can range from:
There are many potential causes of neck pain following an auto accident. The blunt force impact of a sudden traffic collision can play all sorts of havoc on a person. However, one of the most common occurrences of an auto accident injury is whiplash. Whiplash occurs when a persons neck is thrust forward and hyper extended. The body then tries to heal itself by undergoing a process that is similar to a doctor applying a splint. However, despite being the most common injury, whiplash is not the only condition you may suffer from. That is why it is so important to see a medical professional following an accident.
Provided you are not in any immediate life threatening danger, a chiropractic care professional is a great resource for overcoming your pain. An experienced chiropractor, like those at Arrowhead Clinic Savannah, have a plethora of tools for diagnosing your specific condition. These range from hands on examinations to x-rays. An accurate diagnosis will help your chiropractor develop your optimum recovery treatment plan.
