But, by the time you visit your doctor, the insurance company will have been notified and will be working on their investigation. Here are some aspects to expect in your first consultation after an auto accident.

Back Pain

After an auto accident, you may feel pain in your back and neck. This pain is because the collision caused your spine to be jarred out of its natural alignment. Our chiropractor will use various techniques to get your spine back into alignment.

Headache Relief

Another common complaint after an auto accident is headaches. The exact misalignment can cause spinal discomfort in the neck. Our chiropractor will use a combination of spinal manipulation and massage to help relieve the tension headaches you may be experiencing.

Whiplash Treatment

Whiplash occurs when the head is forcefully jerked forward and backward. This action can cause a lot of neck, shoulders, and head pain. A chiropractor will use spinal manipulation and other techniques to help relieve pain.
