AFTER AN AUTO ACCIDENT

Symptoms May Affect More Than Just Pain

Symptoms may appear immediately or develop in the hours or days following an auto accident. Even relatively minor collisions can sometimes result in injuries that affect your comfort, mobility, and daily activities.

Common symptoms may include:

  • Neck or back pain

  • Headaches

  • Shoulder or upper-back discomfort

  • Reduced range of motion

  • Muscle soreness or stiffness

  • Pain with driving or prolonged sitting

  • Difficulty sleeping comfortably

  • Difficulty performing work-related tasks

  • Numbness, tingling, or dizziness

  • Difficulty exercising or completing everyday activities

Some symptoms may indicate a more serious injury requiring immediate medical attention. We evaluate for signs that may require additional imaging, medical referral, or emergency care.

YOUR INITIAL EVALUATION

Understanding Your Injury and How It Affects You

Your first appointment is designed to help us understand how the accident occurred, identify your injuries, and determine the most appropriate course of care.

Your evaluation may include:

  • Discussion of how the accident occurred

  • Review of immediate and developing symptoms

  • Medical history and previous injuries

  • Orthopedic and neurological examination

  • Range-of-motion and movement assessment

  • Evaluation of spinal and extremity injuries

  • Discussion of work and daily activity limitations

  • Determination of whether imaging or referral is needed

  • Initial treatment when clinically appropriate

YOUR CARE

Personalized Treatment and Rehabilitation

Your treatment plan will be based on your examination findings, symptoms, and stage of recovery.

Care may include a combination of chiropractic adjustments, manual therapy, rehabilitative exercises, and activity recommendations to help reduce discomfort, restore mobility, and improve function.

Our goal is not only to help you feel better but also to support your recovery and help you return to your normal activities with confidence.
