Motor Vehicle Accidents
A lot of people feel okay right after an accident… then days later it hits:
Neck tightness, headaches, dizziness, low back pain, jaw tension, or pain that starts traveling down an arm or leg. That doesn’t mean you’re being dramatic. It means your body is reacting to trauma. Even low-speed collisions can create structural and neurological strain, which is why many patients explore post-accident upper cervical recovery as part of their healing process.
We take a gentle, thorough approach to accident cases — and we’ll help you understand the next step.
Common symptoms after an accident
- Headaches or migraines that weren’t there before
- Neck pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion
- Shoulder/upper back tightness
- Low back pain or SI pain
- Dizziness or brain fog
- Jaw tension / TMJ flare-ups
- Tingling, numbness, or pain down an arm or leg
- Sleep changes, irritability, feeling “off”
Why you need to be checked after an accident
It can create compensation patterns that keep re-triggering symptoms — especially headaches and neck/shoulder tension. And if you wait too long, the body can settle into those patterns.
The goal is to assess what happened and support recovery early.
Gentle & Organized
We start with a full exam, then build a plan based on what we find.
What to expect
- We listen to what happened and what you're feeling now
- We assess movement, stability, and signs of nerve irritation
- If imaging is needed for atlas-specific care, we explain why and the cost up front (we may use 3D imaging/CBCT when appropriate)
- We review findings and explain the plan
- First adjustment (when appropriate)
- We track progress over time so care stays honest and measurable
Auto insurance
When you call, we’ll help you figure out:
- What documentation we need
- What your next steps are
- How billing works for your specific situation
