Request an AppointmentNeck Pain and Whiplash
Among the most common and painful injuries in a car accident is whiplash. This injury causes significant neck pain and occurs when the neck is forcefully thrust back and forth, often during a collision. The neck undergoes stress similar to the cracking of a whip, which is where the term whiplash comes from.
This injury may take days or weeks to show symptoms, but it can be very painful. Our chiropractor provides a combination of therapies to enhance healing and alleviate neck pain caused by whiplash and other injuries. Chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression using the Triton DTS, Class 4 laser therapy, and shockwave therapy are just some of the effective, non-invasive therapies that help, without relying on potentially addictive pain medication.
Back Pain
Back pain is another common injury from auto accidents, one that can greatly reduce your quality of life and make simple tasks difficult. Back injuries from an auto accident are often widespread, potentially including minor spinal fractures, misalignment, dislocated or herniated spinal discs, muscle injuries, and even dislocations that trigger extreme back pain.
Our chiropractor often uses spinal adjustments to help with back pain, realigning the spine and alleviating tension and pressure throughout the body. We also offer spinal decompression using the Triton DTS to relieve pressure on injured discs and nerves, Class 4 laser therapy to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair, shockwave therapy for chronic pain and muscle tension, and acupuncture to support natural healing.
Headaches After an Accident

Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Injury Treatment
How soon after a car accident should I see a chiropractor?
It’s best to seek an evaluation as soon as possible, even if you feel fine, since many auto injury symptoms don’t appear for days or weeks after the accident.
What are the most common injuries from car accidents?
Whiplash, back pain, herniated discs, and headaches are among the most common injuries our team treats following auto accidents.
