Car Accidents Leave Too Many Texarkana Residents With Lifelong Back Pain.

Here’s How You Can Avoid Chronic Back Pain After An Accident in Texarkana

Accidents can cause some pretty severe short term pain and disability that can interfere with your job and everyday life.

This can be especially true of Back Pain and Sciatica. If the injury doesn’t heal properly it can lead to lifelong pain and discomfort.

Car crashes don’t just cause Whiplash Injuries to the neck.

Collisions cause many injuries including to the back, shoulders, hips, and other extremity problems.

Injuries to the head and brain are also fairly common with these types of injuries.

Back injuries are very common injuries.

The human back is made up of a many different structures including muscles and ligaments which surround the spine’s vertebrae, discs, nerves, and spinal cord.

When an accident occurs, many different parts of the back can be damaged.

If you’ve been involved in a car accident it’s important to recognize any symptoms of a back injury, including… pain, muscle weakness, numbness or pain in the legs, aching or stiffness around the back and hips, muscle spasms, and other symptoms that often interfere with you daily activities.

Auto injuries are often to the soft tissues of the spine including muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, discs, nerves, and even the spinal cord in the upper or middle back areas.

Some of these injuries show up well on X-Rays, Cts, or MRIs while other injuries are not well visualized and can be found during an examination or with special testing.

 

Back Pain Treatment

The best treatment for you varies on the type of injury that you have and some individual differences that vary from person to person.

In mild cases, people often use ice, heat, some (limited) rest, and choose to use over the counter pain relievers.

It is best to get evaluated first though by a doctor that is experienced evaluating injuries for car accidents.

If you do not get the right treatment and even the right treatment soon enough, the pain can become chronic – and in some cases even become permanent. In the case of a true ‘pinched’ nerve, failing to get the right treatment can result in very serious consequences.

Back pain treatment plans can include:

• Chiropractic
• Physical therapy
