Motor Vehicle Accidents

Care may be considered for:

• Whiplash and neck pain
• Back, shoulder or joint pain
• Muscle strains, ligament sprains and soft-tissue injuries
• Headaches related to neck injury
• Reduced mobility, stiffness or weakness
• Symptoms following a mild concussion, when appropriate
• Difficulties with work or everyday activities

An individualized treatment plan may help:

• Reduce pain and stiffness
• Restore movement, strength and function
• Improve confidence with everyday activities
• Support a safe return to work, exercise or recreation
• Reduce the risk of ongoing functional limitations
• Provide education and strategies for managing symptoms

Your first appointment includes a review of the incident, your symptoms, health history and functional limitations. Your provider will perform an examination and determine whether treatment is appropriate. Care may include chiropractic treatment, soft-tissue therapy, therapeutic exercise, activity modification and home-care recommendations.

Treatment frequency and recovery time vary depending on the injury, its severity and your response to care. Referrals or additional assessment may be recommended when necessary.
