Accidents

Even Low-Speed Crashes Can Cause Big Problems

A simple fender bender can throw your spine out of alignment and cause soft tissue damage that lingers for months. Many patients don’t feel pain immediately after an accident — but symptoms like headaches, neck stiffness, or numbness often appear days later.

Common Injuries We Treat:

  • Whiplash
  • Neck & back pain
  • Pinched nerves
  • Herniated discs
  • Concussion-related symptoms

How Chiropractic Helps:
 We use precise spinal adjustments, muscle therapy, and nerve release techniques to correct misalignments, relieve pressure, and promote natural healing — so you can avoid long-term complications.
