🍎 WELLNESS WEDNESDAY! 🍏
People often start with a chiropractor after a car accident for a few practical reasons:
1. Injuries can hide at first
Right after an accident, adrenaline is doing the heavy lifting. You might feel “fine” for a day or two, then suddenly wake up stiff, sore, or barely able to turn your head. Chiropractors are trained to spot subtle joint and soft-tissue issues early, before they snowball into chronic pain.
2. Car accidents mess with alignment
Even low-speed collisions can jolt the spine in ways everyday life doesn’t. Whiplash, mid-back strain, and pelvic shifts are common. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring normal movement and alignment, not just masking pain.
3. Documentation matters
After an accident, having consistent, early documentation of symptoms and treatment can be important for insurance or legal reasons. Chiropractors are very used to motor-vehicle injury cases and tracking progress over time.
