What causes shoulder pain after an auto collision? How can chiropractic help?

Why is shoulder pain such a common problem after a car crash? How can your chiropractor help you recover? Let's take a look at why shoulder pain is frequently experienced after an auto injury and see how chiropractic care can help you recover. The key to recovering from shoulder pain caused by a crash is to understand the root cause of the problem and how chiropractic care can help. Chiropractic care can be very helpful for shoulder pain symptoms after a crash. Chiropractic care is a great way to treat shoulder pain.

There are at least two different ways that you can develop shoulder pain after a crash: by direct injury to the shoulder joint or by referred pain from the neck.

Direct injury can be caused by hitting your shoulder on a hard object in the car during the impact, or can occur if you have a tight grip on the steering wheel during a rear end crash. With this type of trauma, you'll usually be aware of the pain shortly after the wreck.

More frequently, Dr. Jerrad Swanson DC, FMT, DN1 finds that shoulder or arm pain doesn't immediately appear after a crash, but starts a few days or weeks after the accident. This type of shoulder discomfort actually starts in the cervical spine. Injured muscles or ligaments in your neck can tweak nerves in your neck, causing numbness, tingling, or pain in your shoulder, elbow, or wrist.

We've worked with many types of shoulder problems in our Lincoln office. This care involves chiropractic adjustments to restore your spine's natural mobility and home exercises that strengthen your neck and shoulder.
