What Are Some Effective Ways to Treat Chronic Back Pain Following a Car Accident?

The human spine is incredibly strong, but it ultimately evolved to handle a significant amount of latitudinal stress, which is what allows us to stand upright and walk on two legs. As a result, the spine cannot absorb the longitudinal force of a side impact without sustaining damage, which is why car accident victims almost always suffer from back pain following a collision.

Back pain may not seem like a serious health concern, especially when compared to the other potential injuries that can arise as the result of a collision, but it can be downright debilitating. If you were hurt in a car accident that was not your fault, you should be able to recover compensation for all of the injuries you sustained, regardless of their severity.

To discuss the damages you incurred and calculate a fair settlement amount, contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers. Our compassionate attorneys have the knowledge and litigation experience to help you fight for the maximum payout.

We have recovered more than $200 million for our clients in successful settlements and verdicts. Call 800-522-6733 to schedule a free case evaluation with an injury attorney in Alexandria.

Read on to learn about some of the most effective ways to treat chronic back pain:

  1. Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is a noninvasive, natural approach for treating back pain at the source. According to the American Chiropractic Association, spinal adjustments from a skilled chiropractor can treat a wide range of injuries that affect the muscles, joints, ligaments, and bones, including those you might sustain in a car accident.

    Gentle Exercise

Depending on the extent of your injuries, you may have to attend physical therapy to facilitate recovery. During each session, you will partake in some light stretching and a few gentle exercises to improve blood flow, stimulate the production of endorphins, increase mobility, and strengthen muscles.

    Heat Therapy

Heat therapy is an effective treatment that you can apply at home between visits to your chiropractor or physical therapist. Take a hot bath when you’re feeling especially sore, or place a heating pad on the affected area for 20 minutes at a time.

    The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

    Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can improve circulation, which is essential for facilitating the body’s natural healing process. It can also promote relaxation and stimulate the production of endorphins, which will come in handy when you are facing the overwhelming stress that often accompanies recovering from serious injuries.

    They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.

    Pain Medication

When it comes to treating most medical conditions, it is typically best to start with more conservative approaches. If none of the above is working for you, though, and chronic back pain is affecting your everyday life, you may want to talk to your doctor about trying pain medication.

It is normal to experience back pain for weeks or even months after a crash. According to Men’s Health, more than 70 percent of people who are admitted to the emergency department following a collision are still in pain six weeks later; however, it is not normal for back pain to limit your mobility or prevent you from actively engaging in your life, so if it is, a more aggressive treatment modality may be necessary.

If you are suffering from severe back pain after getting into a collision with a drunk or distracted driver, contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers. Call 800-522-6733 to schedule a free consultation with an injury lawyer in Alexandria.
