I feel fine. Do I need treatment after an auto accident?

You should get a health evaluation after an auto accident, even if you have no obvious injuries or symptoms. The adrenaline rush that occurs when you’re in a car crash may mask symptoms, and you may not feel pain until hours or days after the accident. 

Early medical care can identify and treat hidden damage, which may speed up recovery. IllumINNATE Walk-In Family Chiropractic welcomes walk-ins and provides care for the whole family. The professionally certified chiropractors can perform your evaluation and create a plan that reduces pain and helps you heal. 

Who should get chiropractic care for an auto accident injury?

The chiropractors at IllumINNATE Walk-In Family Chiropractic treat all types of auto accident injuries. Many car accidents cause sudden and forceful movements of the body, resulting in sprains, strains, and spinal misalignments that cause neck pain, back pain, or headaches.

Whiplash is a common auto accident injury that over stretches the muscles and ligaments in the neck from the forceful back-and-forth movement of the head. You can get whiplash from minor car accidents with speeds as low as 5-10 miles per hour. 

IllumINNATE Walk-In Family Chiropractic uses chiropractic care to realign the spine to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and speed up recovery.

What type of treatments can I expect for an auto accident injury?

The experts at IllumINNATE Walk-In Family Chiropractic customize your auto accident injury treatment plan after they complete an examination. They take a holistic and collaborative approach, treating your injury and whole health.

Chiropractic care for your auto accident injury may include:

• Spinal adjustments
• Spinal decompression
• Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)
• Pressure wave therapy
• Theragun™ 
• At-home exercise program

The goal of the plan is to eliminate your pain and restore and enhance your body’s natural healing process.

How long is recovery from an auto accident injury?

Recovery from an auto accident injury varies and depends on the severity of your injury and overall health. You may recover from a minor injury within a few days, while it may take several weeks to recover from a more serious injury.

At IllumINNATE Walk-In Family Chiropractic, the chiropractors talk to you about your injury and recovery plan, so you know what to expect.
