Familiar with all MVA protocols
We are an FSRA licensed service provider for motor vehicle accident (MVA) injuries. Our professionals are familiar with all MVA protocols, and we offer support, documentation and advice to help you recover safely and effectively.
Low back pain is one of the most common injuries we see after a car accident. Even at low speeds, the sudden force of a collision can strain the muscles, joints and discs of the lower back. Pain may appear right away, or develop over 24 to 72 hours.
It can affect anyone, from young adults with no previous back problems to older adults with arthritis or earlier spine conditions. Early assessment and treatment are important for reducing pain, restoring movement and preventing long-term problems. Meet our team.
Common causes of pain after an MVA include:
Rapid, forceful movement in a collision can overstretch the muscles and ligaments of the back and neck.
The small joints along the spine can be jolted and become painful and stiff.
The joints where the spine meets the pelvis can be stressed by sudden force.
Sudden force can strain or herniate a spinal disc, sometimes causing leg symptoms.
A seat belt protects you but can cause bruising or contusions across the chest, shoulder and abdomen.
Symptoms vary from person to person and may include, but are not limited to:
Symptoms can show up days later, so do not wait. If you have severe pain, numbness, weakness or any worrying symptom, seek urgent medical care first.
