Auto Accident

After Auto Accident: What You Can Do

Immediately after an auto accident, your first priority should be getting the help you need. There are several components involved in this, starting with contacting the police so that the accident can be properly documented. This documentation may later be critical in helping you pay the medical bills associated with your injuries. 

Auto accident in Duluth, MN.

Being checked out as soon as possible after an auto accident is vital. In a number of auto accidents, whiplash and lower back pain occur. This is mainly due to the force of impact associated with the vehicle collision. At the time of the vehicle impact, your neck actually hyperextends to the point that your skull very briefly leaves your spine. When the skull returns to the spine, it's almost always in the incorrect position. This problem frequently extends all the way down the spine, causing a major spinal imbalance and considerable pain. 

How Are Whiplash and Lower Back Pain Treated?

Whiplash and lower back pain treatment focus on immediate pain relief. The pain can be very severe, sometimes even rivaling that of broken bones, after an auto accident. Treatment begins with an examination, often accompanied by X-ray imaging. Once the origin of the pain has been determined, Dr. Zakrajsek can perform specific spinal adjustments and corrections to both the cervical spine (around the neck) and the lumbar spine (around the lower back.) These adjustments and corrections can return the spine to the optimal state of alignment. This allows for pressure relief and pain relief very quickly for most patients.
