Spinal misalignment after a car accident is one of the most common — and most overlooked — injuries. When vertebrae are pushed out of their proper position by the force of impact, they compress nerves, strain muscles, and create pain that can spread throughout your body.
Signs Your Back is Out of Alignment
Uneven Shoulders or Hips: One side sits higher than the other when standing naturally.
Head Position: Your head tilts or juts forward from its normal position over your shoulders.
Chronic Pain: Persistent pain in your neck, back, or between your shoulder blades that doesn’t respond to rest.
Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty turning your head fully, bending, or twisting.
Radiating Pain: Pain that travels from your spine into your arms or legs, indicating nerve compression.
Muscle Tension: Persistent tightness on one side of your body as muscles compensate for misalignment.
How Chiropractors Fix Misalignment
Chiropractors use X-rays and physical examination to identify exactly which vertebrae are misaligned. Through targeted manual adjustments, they restore each vertebra to its proper position — relieving nerve compression, reducing muscle tension, and eliminating pain at its source.
