Chiropractic care is a hands-on, non-surgical approach focused on the spine, joints and the muscles that support them.
Chiropractic care is a hands-on, non-surgical approach focused on the spine, joints and the muscles that support them. A licensed chiropractor evaluates how you move, where you feel pain and how your posture has changed, then uses techniques such as spinal adjustments, mobilization, soft-tissue work and guided exercise.
How it relates to car accident recovery
The sudden forces of a collision can strain the neck and back even at low speeds. Stiffness, reduced range of motion and headaches sometimes appear a day or two later. A chiropractic evaluation can help document these changes early and, where appropriate, start conservative care alongside your medical team.
What to expect
- A history of the crash and your symptoms
- A physical and neurological screening
- Imaging referrals when they are clinically needed
- A written care plan with goals and follow-up visits
Good to know
Chiropractic care is not right for every injury. If an examination suggests a fracture, nerve compression or another serious condition, a responsible chiropractor will refer you to the appropriate specialist first.
