Auto Accidents and Chiropractic

May 3, 2010 by Dr. Johnson

Auto accident.



Don’t be misled by the minimal damage to your car. People react much differently than glass, plastic and metal!

It started with a routine trip to the store.

Suddenly you hear a screeching of tires and the harsh sound of metal hitting metal. In the split second before you can brace yourself, you feel your car moving from some unseen force!

Hidden Damage

It’s tempting to minimize your own injuries because your car has sustained little or no damage. Research shows that occupants can be injured considerably more than what you’d expect from a dented fender or a broken taillight.

The Medical Solution

If you visit the emergency room, you may be given a clean bill of health because you don’t have any broken bones. You might get a prescription to reduce the muscle spasms caused by structural changes in your neck or lower back.

But you don’t have a drug shortage! After what you’ve been through, you’ll need a health professional that truly understands soft tissue injuries, spinal biomechanics and rehabilitation strategies. Call a chiropractor!

We Can Help

Whether it was a little incident in the parking lot, or two cars attempting to occupy the same space in an intersection, you need a professional who knows how to work with lawyers and insurance companies.

If you’ve been in a car accident, locate an Association member chiropractor near you. Chiropractors successfully help car accident victims all the time. It’s practically routine.

Common Questions

Q: Why do I have pain in my arms and hands?

A: Because the nerves to the arms and hands exit the spine through the injured area of the neck, numbness and tingling are common. Even lower back pain can result directly from the trauma, or as a reaction to the loss of proper spinal curves.

Q: Why did my headaches start more than a week after my accident?

A: Whether you’ve been in an accident, stressed at work, or over-exerted yourself in the garden, your body is constantly adapting to the environment. When your capacity to adapt is exhausted, symptoms can appear. This can take days, weeks, months or years to occur.

Q: Will I ever be normal again?

A: Many chiropractic patients report restored spinal curves and an end to their symptoms. Those who delay seeking appropriate care often discover that scar tissue and spinal instability lengthens full recovery and often requires periodic chiropractic checkups.

Dr. Johnson has a gift and has helped my husband and me with acute back pain and will squeeze us in to see us at a... moments notice. In addition, we have gone on and off for maintenance and never feel pressure to come in more than necessary. He is gentle, personable, kind and very talented. Both my husband and I highly recommend him.read more

Dr. Johnson and his team are great! Whether it’s just a quick tune up or addressing an injury there’s nowhere else I’d... rather go. Even my wife and kids see him when needed. Visits are quick and to the point without sacrificing bedside manner. They’re also super military friendly!read more

While in Orange Country on business (from Eastern NC) I developed some pretty significant lower back pain while out on... a run- the type of pain that made moving, or sitting, terrible. The idea of sitting in an airplane seat from one side of the country to another was akin to medieval torture. So I hobbled into Doc Johnson's office, was seen promptly. He helped me work out my lower back issue by the end of the week to where sitting in an airplane was bearable. I was across the country from home and needed some help, and he really came through for me. I really appreciate it!read more

I've been going to see Dr. Kreutz for 30 years. He has got to be the best chiropractor on the planet. I actually see... him before seeing an M.D. and I don't end up needing to go to a doctor. His staff is friendly and courteous.read more
