Pain from automobile accidents involve soft tissue strain and injury. Chiropractic care is often a preferred and expected choice for treatment. The majority of sports injuries are soft tissue in nature. These injuries are caused mainly by improper body biomechanics and improper sporting techniques. Doctors of chiropractic are a preferred choice for professional sports figures and the weekend warrior. General practitioners often do not provide specialized treatment for lower back pain and refer patients to doctors of Chiropractic who are specially trained in that area. Neck pain is caused by areas in the neck that contain many delicate, pain sensitive structures. Poor recovery from a previous injury, bad posture, prolonged sitting, and lack of periodic spinal alignments commonly cause neck problems. A subluxation means a slight dislocation (misalignment) or biomechanical malfunctioning of the vertebrae (the bones of the spine). These disturbances may irritate nerve roots and the blood vessels which branch off from the spinal cord between each of the vertebrae. This irritation may cause pain and dysfunction in muscle, lymphatic and organ tissue, as well as neurological imbalance in the normal body processes.
