During a crash, your body is subjected to great forces that it simply wasn’t built to handle. These forces place strain and stresses on your neck, shoulder, and back and can actually cause injury to the ligaments that hold your spine together. A crash can cause a wide variety of pain symptoms, which may or may not appear immediately. After a thorough and meticulous screening of your condition, our chiropractors will consult with you as well as with your lawyer, if applicable, regarding our medical findings which will include a complete diagnosis and recommended treatment strategy.

How Soon After an Accident Should I Seek Chiropractic Care?

Can Chiropractic Care Treat Old Accident Injuries?

Sometimes, an accident injury victim will start experiencing pain, stiffness, and/or range of motion issues long after they believed that their crash-related injuries had healed. Know that chiropractic care can significantly help in addressing many “old” kinds of injury manifestations.

What if I Have Other Medical Conditions?

It is relatively rare that a chronic medical condition prevents patients from benefitting from chiropractic care. Nevertheless, you’ll want to check with your care team to see if your providers have any concerns about pursuing a chiropractic treatment plan before committing to this course of care. Similarly, if you have sustained an acute injury, you’ll want to seek clearance from your care team before consulting with a chiropractor, just to confirm whether you need to observe any specific precautions.

Can My Child Benefit from Chiropractic Care After a Crash?

Chiropractic care benefits know no age limit. If your child has been impacted by auto injuries, it is certainly possible that they could benefit from chiropractic care.
