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

Why is shoulder pain such a common condition after a car crash? How can your chiropractor help you get better? Let's take a look at why shoulder pain is commonly experienced after a car crash and see how your chiropractor can help you heal. 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. Your chiropractor can be very helpful for shoulder pain symptoms after a crash. Let's look at how shoulder pain is caused by a crash and how Dr. Holland can help you.

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

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

More commonly, Dr. Holland finds that shoulder or arm pain does not immediately appear after a crash, but starts a few days or weeks after the injury. This type of shoulder pain actually starts in the neck. Injured ligaments or muscles in your neck can pinch nerves in your neck, causing numbness, tingling, or pain in your shoulder, elbow, or wrist.

We've worked with many types of shoulder pain in our Downtown St. Louis, MO office. This process involves chiropractic adjustments to restore your spine's natural mobility and exercises that strengthen your neck and shoulder.
