When traditional medicine primarily addresses visible injuries after a car accident—like broken bones or bruises—our chiropractic approach goes deeper, targeting often-overlooked internal injuries. These hidden injuries, if untreated, can evolve into chronic problems such as joint dysfunction, subluxations, and persistent pain.
Secondary Injuries and Delayed Symptoms
In the days following an accident, secondary injuries can become more apparent as the body begins to heal. These may include stiffness, intense pain that differs from immediate injury pain, and weakened mobility or flexibility.
Break Free from Medication Reliance
If you’re tired of relying on pain medications with temporary effects, chiropractic care provides a natural, effective solution. By addressing the root cause of your injury, our team helps prevent recurrence and supports long-term relief—without masking symptoms.
How Our Car Accident Treatment Plan Works
We design individualized care plans to address the unique challenges of auto injuries and promote healing with drug-free methods that restore movement and relieve pain.

Common Car Accident Injuries We Treat
After an auto accident, the body endures substantial strain, resulting in injuries that may not be immediately noticeable. The most common injuries we treat include:
- Whiplash: Sudden neck snapping can strain ligaments and cause spinal misalignments.
- Headaches: Trauma from an accident frequently causes headaches due to neck muscle strain.
- Shoulder Pain: Seat belts, while essential, may strain or injure shoulder muscles and ligaments.
- Back Pain: Spinal misalignments and disc injuries are common after an accident.
- Knee Pain: Impact with the dashboard can lead to dislocations and strains.
Even if symptoms don’t appear right away, seeking immediate treatment helps to prevent injuries from worsening over time.
