Why is prompt chiropractic care important after a collision?
Even a minor fender bender can cause more disruption to your body than you might expect. The sudden force of a collision often leads to soft tissue injuries like whiplash, even when there are no immediate symptoms. In fact, it’s common for pain and stiffness to show up days—or even weeks—after the accident. That’s why getting evaluated early is so important.
When injuries go untreated, the body starts to compensate. You might unconsciously change how you move, sit, or sleep to avoid discomfort. Over time, these compensations can create imbalances, leading to pain in other areas like the shoulders, mid-back, or lower spine. Early care helps break this cycle before it starts, making recovery smoother and more complete.

Whether you’re feeling fine or already noticing signs like soreness, headaches, or fatigue, we’re here to help you get back on track.
