Auto Accident Recovery
Car Accident Injury Care
Injured in a car accident? Many injuries don't show symptoms right away. Early chiropractic evaluation and treatment can prevent long-term pain and help you recover faster, without surgery or medication.
Don't Wait
Why Early Treatment Matters
After a car accident, adrenaline can mask pain for hours or even days. Injuries like whiplash, disc herniations, and soft tissue damage often worsen without proper care. Seeking chiropractic evaluation within 72 hours is critical for the best outcomes, and for protecting your insurance claim.
Same-Day Appointments
We prioritize accident patients and can often see you the same day you call.
Thorough Evaluation
Comprehensive orthopedic and neurological exam to identify hidden injuries other providers may miss.
Insurance & Documentation
We work with PIP and auto insurance and provide detailed documentation for your claim.
Injuries We Treat
Common Car Accident Injuries
Even minor fender-benders can cause significant musculoskeletal injuries. Here are the conditions we most frequently treat after auto accidents.
Whiplash
Sudden back-and-forth movement of the neck during impact can strain muscles, ligaments, and discs, often with delayed onset of pain and stiffness.
Herniated & Bulging Discs
The force of a collision can cause spinal discs to shift, bulge, or rupture, leading to nerve compression, radiating pain, and numbness.
Concussion & Post-Concussion Syndrome
Even low-speed impacts can cause headaches, brain fog, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating that persists for weeks or months.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Sprains, strains, and deep bruising to muscles and connective tissue throughout the body are among the most common, and most overlooked, accident injuries.
Sciatica & Lower Back Pain
Impact forces can misalign the lumbar spine and compress the sciatic nerve, causing sharp pain, tingling, or weakness radiating down the legs.
Shoulder & Extremity Injuries
Seatbelt forces, bracing on the steering wheel, and side impacts can damage shoulders, wrists, knees, and other joints.
