Back Pain is a common problem after an auto collision, and it’s something that Dr. Robert Ramsey sees often in our   Gresham, OR office . Chiropractic care is an excellent way to treat back pain. Let’s look at how back pain is caused by a crash and how Dr. Robert Ramsey can help you. During a rear-end motor vehicle accident, your car and car seat are rapidly accelerated forward against your body. Since car seats don’t perfectly align with the curvature of your spinal column, the seat can put inconsistent pressure on your lower back. This can cause some of your spinal vertebrae to move in one direction while an adjacent vertebrae might move in another direction.
