CAR ACCIDENTS AND BACK PAIN
Back pain is one of the most common injuries sustained in car accidents that we treat at Kinetix Physical Therapy. Severe back pain impacts more than half of the population, and many of those who develop back pain because of an injury (such as a car accident) end up dealing with that pain long term. Some common injuries from motor vehicle accidents that can lead to back pain and be treated with the help of a physical therapist include: • Whiplash
