Treatment at Our Chiropractic Center

Treatments we recommend after an accident in your car depend on the specific injuries you sustain and the severity of your injuries. We may use an x-ray to determine the severity of the injuries. After evaluating the injuries and your movements, a chiropractor in our clinic develops a personalized treatment plan.

We may use traditional spinal adjustments and manipulation to adjust the alignment of your neck and spine for pain relief. We also use decompression therapy to reduce pressure on your nerves from a herniated disc or a similar injury to the spine. Cold laser therapy and ultrasound allows us to help with muscle-related injuries and pain caused by the injuries. These gentle treatments help alleviate tension while encouraging the body to heal and reducing inflammation in the area. We also use exercises and stretches to help build up your muscle strength, increase your flexibility and improve your mobility as your body heals.

As a general rule, we recommend visiting our clinic immediately after the accident to avoid complications with the healing process. Some injuries, like whiplash, may not cause pain or discomfort for the first 24 to 48 hours after the accident, so you want to pay attention to the pain and discomfort that may occur and seek treatment before it worsens.
