Many people suffer from back pain after an auto accident, and a 2002 study helps to explain why.
The study, carried out by scientists at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine, looked at the biomechanics of lumbar spine trauma from rear-end collisions and discovered that the car seat is very likely the culprit in these types of injuries.
Your spine has an innate curved form that absorbs shocks and stress and also allows freedom of movement. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct styles of car seats with unique forms, coverings, stiffness, and geometries. If your car seat doesn't conform to your spinal column precisely, the violent acceleration of the car seat during a wreck can cause some portions of your spine to move much more than other parts.
This shearing effect can stretch or tear the ligaments surrounding your spine, causing pain, inflammation, scar tissue, neurological injury, and potentially damage that is irreversible.
