Have You Been in a Car Accident?

You do not need to have a major collision to be injured.

Common symptoms after an accident include:

✓ Neck pain and whiplash
✓ Mid and low back pain
✓ Headaches and migraines
✓ Shoulder pain
✓ Muscle tightness and spasms
✓ Tingling or numbness into arms or legs
✓ Difficulty sleeping
✓ Reduced movement or stiffness
✓ Pain sitting, standing, or working

Symptoms often appear hours or days after impact.


Why Chiropractic Care After a Motor Vehicle Accident?

When the body experiences sudden acceleration and deceleration, joints, muscles, ligaments, and supporting tissues can be strained—even if imaging appears normal.

Our goal is to identify movement restrictions and create a treatment plan that supports healing.

Your care may include:

Comprehensive Injury Evaluation

  • Detailed history of the accident
  • Orthopedic and neurological examination
  • Range of motion assessment
  • Functional movement evaluation
  • On-site X-rays when clinically indicated

Chiropractic Treatment

  • Gentle chiropractic adjustments
  • Flexion-distraction therapy
  • Soft tissue therapies
  • Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)
  • Therapeutic ultrasound
  • Rehabilitation exercises
  • Home care recommendations

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash occurs when the head moves rapidly forward and backward during impact.

This can lead to:

  • Neck pain
  • Headaches
  • Muscle guarding
  • Dizziness
  • Limited motion
  • Shoulder discomfort
  • Ongoing tension

Early evaluation may help identify issues before they become more difficult to manage.
