Back and spine injuries are some of the most common and long-lasting effects of car accidents,  even low-speed collisions can cause serious damage to your spinal alignment and the surrounding muscles and discs. At Ornelas Chiropractic, we specialize in gentle, effective care for auto-related back injuries to help you recover without surgery or prescription medication.

Why Back Injuries Happen After a Crash

During an accident, the force of impact can cause your spine to compress, twist, or shift unnaturally. This can lead to conditions such as:

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Lumbar spine misalignment

  • Soft tissue damage or muscle strain

  • Nerve compression or sciatica

  • Chronic inflammation and back pain

Left untreated, these conditions can worsen over time, impacting your ability to work, sleep, or enjoy everyday life.

Common Symptoms of Auto-Related Back Injuries

  • Sharp or dull lower back pain

  • Pain that radiates into the hips or legs

  • Numbness or tingling in the lower extremities

  • Stiffness or loss of range of motion

  • Muscle spasms or tightness along the spine
