Auto Accident Injury Rehabilitation

Chiropractic Care After an Automobile Accident

Every car accident is unique and requires a specific approach to recovery. Even minor collisions can put stress on the spine, leading to whiplash, back pain, stiffness, or headaches that may not show up right away. At MAST Health, Dr. Nenos takes the time to evaluate your specific needs and uses the most effective techniques for your condition — whether that’s soft tissue therapy, stretching, instrument-assisted adjustments, or manual adjustments. Our goal is to restore proper alignment, reduce inflammation, and help you feel better as quickly and safely as possible so you can get back to living your life.

Common Issues After an Auto Accident

After a car accident, people often face a range of challenges that can affect their health, finances, and daily life.

Whiplash Relief

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries after a car accident, caused by the rapid back-and-forth motion of the neck. It can lead to pain, stiffness, dizziness, and even headaches. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment, improve range of motion, and reduce muscle tension, allowing your neck to heal more effectively.

Back Pain & Spinal Misalignment

The force of an accident often causes the spine to shift out of alignment, which can create lingering pain, tightness, and nerve irritation. Gentle chiropractic care realigns the spine, reduces pressure on the nervous system, and promotes natural healing, helping you feel more stable and supported in your everyday movements.

Headaches & Migraines

Headaches following an auto accident are often linked to tension in the neck, spinal misalignment, or nerve irritation. Chiropractic adjustments address the root causes rather than just masking the symptoms, which can reduce the intensity and frequency of headaches and support long-term relief.

Soft Tissue Recovery

Muscles, ligaments, and tendons often absorb much of the impact during an accident, leading to sprains, strains, and soreness. Through a combination of stretching, soft tissue therapy, and chiropractic adjustments, we help reduce inflammation, restore flexibility, and speed up recovery so your body can heal more efficiently.

Improved Range of Motion

Accidents can cause stiffness that limits movement in your neck, back, and joints. Chiropractic care works to restore proper joint function, improve flexibility, and help you regain ease of movement, making everyday activities more comfortable again.

Personalized Care Plans

Every accident — and every body — is different. At MAST Health, Dr. Nenos carefully evaluates your injuries and designs a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Using a range of techniques such as manual adjustments, instrument-assisted care, and soft tissue therapies, he helps you recover safely and return to your daily life.

Why should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?

Even minor accidents can cause hidden injuries like whiplash, soft tissue damage, or spinal misalignments. Chiropractic care helps restore proper alignment, reduce inflammation, and support your body’s natural healing.

I don’t feel pain right after the accident. Should I still get checked?

Yes. Symptoms like stiffness, headaches, or back pain often appear days or even weeks later. An early exam helps identify and treat issues before they worsen.

Yes. Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapies are effective for reducing the pain, stiffness, and headaches caused by whiplash, helping you regain mobility and function.
