Auto Accident Chiropractic at Back & Neck Pain Center
Whether you were involved in a 10 mph fender bender or highway collision, a car accident can be a highly distressing experience. The impact doesn’t always end when the crash is over. Your spine absorbs much of the force, leading to injuries that may not show symptoms right away. Even if you feel fine immediately after, pain and stiffness can develop in the hours or days that follow.
The Impact of Car Accidents on the Spine
Auto accidents force the neck and spine into extreme movements—bending forward, backward, or sideways in unnatural ways. This can strain muscles, ligaments, and joints, causing neck and back pain, stiffness, dizziness, tingling, and even vision issues. Don’t ignore these symptoms. If they’re not addressed, they can lead to chronic discomfort and contribute to long-term spinal degeneration.
The Importance of Early Chiropractic Care
It’s crucial to restore spinal movement as soon as possible for recovery. Without proper care, your body may adapt to restricted motion, resulting in postural imbalances, chronic pain, and an increased risk of arthritis. Chiropractic adjustments help reduce inflammation, improve function, and support your natural healing.
Insurance, X-Rays, and Your First Visit
For your convenience, we work with insurance companies and attorneys and can file a lien if needed. If your policy allows, we can bill insurance directly. For your first visit, expect to be in the office for about an hour, which includes a consultation, an exam, and X-rays to assess your condition.
What to Expect from Recovery
Of course, every case is different, but most auto accident injuries improve within three months of consistent care. While we don’t offer additional treatments like physical therapy, we can recommend further evaluations if clinically necessary.
