Car Accident

Approximately 5.25 million car accidents happen each year in the US, which is equal to about 1 auto accident every 60 seconds.

If you’ve ever been in a car accident, then you know that they are highly irregular. Sometimes, the damage to the vehicle can be substantial, but involved individuals are able to walk away with minimal to no injuries. In other cases, damage to the vehicle can be seemingly minor, but you may experience lingering pain and discomfort for months or even years after the event.

It’s impossible to gauge the damage done by a car accident simply based on what the injuries “look like.” It’s important to see a medical doctor immediately following any auto accident, for exactly this reason—it’s possible to have head trauma or other invisible trauma that can’t be visually identified, but could pose significant risk later if left untreated.

If you’ve experienced a car accident and are still experiencing residual pain and discomfort, chiropractic care can help.

At Integrity Spine and Wellness, we complete a comprehensive assessment to fully understand the nature of the accident that you experienced. Your expert chiropractor will also complete a series of x-rays and digital imaging to assess the condition and alignment of your spine and joints, as well as perform a series of hands-on tests to survey the condition of your muscles and nerves.

In the wake of an auto accident, there are many possible symptoms which can suggest unhealed or poorly recovered injuries. These symptoms include shoulder and collar bone pain, rib discomfort, headaches and migraines, as well as back and neck pain.
