CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR

Auto Accidents

Get back to your pre-injury state
without drugs or surgery.

Car accidents aren’t just traumatic psychological experiences. They also can lead to serious health concerns and injuries, impacting you and your life for years down the line.

Schedule your Injury Evaluation

The impact of one vehicle colliding with another deploys various forces, impacting the cars themselves and the occupants inside. The absorption of this force can lead to various injuries involving the muscles, soft tissues, and joints of the body.

While many people consider ignoring or pushing through these lingering effects, chiropractic care offers a lasting solution without the use of drugs or surgery. At Radical Chiropractic, we are trained to accurately diagnose musculoskeletal injuries resulting from your accident and provide gentle treatment to get you back to your pre-injury state.

Common Car Accident Injuries

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries experienced in an automobile accident, and even without symptoms, this injury can cause severe internal damage. Whiplash occurs when the neck experiences a forceful and rapid back-and-forth movement which can happen at speeds as low as 10 mph. The force exerted on the body can lead to misaligned vertebrae, as well as increased tension in the muscles and joints in and around the neck.

Whiplash may not even cause pain initially. After a car accident, the body pumps out adrenalin, leaving a lot of people actually feeling no pain or soreness immediately afterward. Over the next hours or days, pain and stiffness may gradually increase, leading to difficulties performing your daily activities.

If whiplash and other injuries are left untreated, they can lead to neck pain and other serious conditions for years down the line, ultimately interfering with your quality of life. This is why we recommend everyone receive an injury evaluation and appropriate chiropractic care following an auto accident. When you seek treatment immediately after your auto accident, you are giving your body the best chance at true healing.

With whiplash, the force exerted on the body can lead to misaligned vertebrae, as well as increased tension in the muscles and joints in and around the neck. When left untreated, this can escalate, causing more serious issues involving the joints and discs in the spine and potentially even causing arthritis.

Whiplash might not even cause pain initially. With a car accident, the body pumps out adrenalin, leaving a lot of people actually feeling no pain or soreness right afterward. Over the next hours or days, pain and stiffness may gradually increase, leading to difficulties performing your daily activities. However, visiting a chiropractor during these initial days and weeks can help you achieve the best outcome and avoid lingering chronic pain.

It’s also known as “no-fault” insurance, and Utah is a no-fault state. PIP insurance covers medical expenses that result from an injury in a car accident up to $3,000 per individual.
