Get Evaluated Early. Recover Faster. Avoid Long-Term Damage.
Back Pain After an Accident? Don’t Ignore It.
Even a minor car accident can cause serious stress on your spine.
You might feel fine at first… then days later:
- Lower back pain

- Tight muscles
- Pain when moving
This is very common after auto accidents.
At Havlicek Chiropractic in St. Augustine, we specialize in diagnosing and treating car accident-related back injuries—even when symptoms are delayed.
Why Back Pain Happens After a Car Accident
During a collision, your body absorbs force that can cause:
- Muscle strain and ligament damage
- Spinal misalignment
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Pinched nerves
- Inflammation and soft tissue injury
Even low-speed accidents can cause these issues.
Common Symptoms to Watch For
- Lower or mid-back pain
- Stiffness or limited movement
- Pain when sitting or standing
- Muscle spasms
- Radiating pain into the legs
