Chiropractic Care After A Car Accident Injury
Being involved in a non-life-threatening car accident can leave you dealing with more than just vehicle damage. Many people experience ongoing physical pain, emotional stress, and financial strain — a combination that can feel overwhelming. When physical discomfort is added to the mix, it often intensifies the emotional toll.
That’s where chiropractic care can make a meaningful difference. A skilled chiropractor can help identify and treat injuries caused by your accident — from joint imbalances to soft tissue damage — allowing you to feel more physically at ease and mentally focused on resolving the aftermath of the crash.
Through safe, non-invasive chiropractic techniques, your body can begin to heal naturally, without relying on medication or invasive procedures.
In this post, we’ll explore common auto accident injuries and the most effective chiropractic techniques used to treat them — so you can return to comfort, function, and daily life with confidence.
Injuries Chiropractors Commonly Treat After a Car Accident.
Every car accident is different, and so are the injuries. Two people in the same vehicle during a collision may walk away with entirely different symptoms depending on their body positioning, prior health, and impact force.
Here are a few common injuries we at ActiveSTL treat post motor vehicle accident.
-
Whiplash and neck pain
-
Headaches and tension-type headaches
-
Mid-back and lower back pain
-
Herniated or bulging discs
-
Shoulder and arm pain
-
Knee and hip injuries
-
Muscle strains and ligament sprains
-
Inflammation and reduced mobility
These symptoms may not always appear immediately. Even minor fender benders can result in musculoskeletal issues that worsen over time without proper care.
Chiropractic treatment plans are tailored to your specific injuries, goals, and activity level, helping you recover in a way that supports your whole-body health.
Chiropractic Techniques for Post-Accident Recovery
Effective recovery starts with a proper diagnosis. Your chiropractor will perform a thorough evaluation to identify any structural imbalances or hidden injuries. Once the source of your pain is clear, your personalized care plan may include a combination of the following techniques:
- Chiropractic Adjustments
- Active Release Technique (ART)
- Graston Technique
- Class IV Laser Therapy
- Shockwave Therapy
- Cupping
- Interferential Current (IFC)
