I was hit by a car last summer and although I was lucky to only come out of the accident a bit battered and swollen, ever since then my back has often felt uncomfortable, as though I am carrying extra weight on it and cracks very regularly. I have been for an x-ray and have been told that two of my discs are closer together than the average person, could this be the reason for my symptoms and is there anything I can do to loosen my joints?
Hi, After accident due to injury in spines later on can give rise to some degenerative changes on affected parts. Same thing happened in your case. Go for physiotherapy like back extension exercise and if you require go for lumbar traction after consulting your orthopedic surgeon. Ok and take care.
