Auto Accident Chiropractor In Maplewood
We have over 30 years experience and expertise in treating auto accident injuries. Auto injuries are some of the most serious types of injuries that we see and therefore, we use only evidence-based techniques and equipment that help us detect, diagnose, and treat auto injury conditions.
When you’re in a car accident, even a minor fender bender, your body can sustain trauma to the joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons of your spine including the extremities due to the force of the impact being fully absorbed by your body.
The time it takes to heal varies from person to person, but we do our best to work as efficiently as possible to get you back to living a comfortable life.
How We May Help
At Maplewood Spine Chiropractic Center, we enhance the body’s ability to heal more quickly and with better long-term outcomes by helping restore proper alignment, balance and motion to the spine and extremities.
When auto accident injuries are left unaddressed, they can lead to chronic pain, limited range of motion, and joint and spinal stiffness that can become permanent. Chiropractic care helps the body heal by restoring proper positioning to the joints, so they can heal in the correct position. We also address the soft-tissue damage using various therapeutic techniques.
What To Expect & Collaborative Care
Based on your specific injuries, we may refer you to other specialists, such as neurologists, orthopedists or physical therapists. Our goal is for you to get better quickly and sometimes that requires coordination of care with other providers to ensure your problem(s) are being addressed appropriately.
We also use diagnostic X-ray and MRI scans to accurately assess your injuries.
People often want to know how long it will take to recover from a car accident, but the truth is it’s different for everyone, depending on factors like the severity of the crash, your age, and your general physical health before the crash.
