Common injuries after a car accident
Even a low-speed crash can strain the neck, back and shoulders. These are the injuries we see most often after an accident.
Whiplash and neck pain
Stiffness, soreness and limited motion from the sudden back-and-forth movement of a collision.
Back pain and sciatica
Low back pain, or pain that travels down the leg, often from bracing or twisting on impact.
Headaches
Including cervicogenic headaches, which start in an injured or tight neck.
Shoulder and mid-back pain
Pain across the shoulders or between the shoulder blades, often from the seat belt and impact.
Jaw pain (TMJ)
Jaw soreness, tightness or clicking that sometimes follows whiplash.
Numbness or tingling
Tingling in the arms or legs needs careful evaluation. We check it thoroughly and refer you to a specialist when needed.
Why get checked, even if you feel okay
Adrenaline after a crash can mask pain, and stiffness often builds over the next few hours or days. Getting checked soon helps catch injuries early and gets your recovery started sooner.
It also creates a clear record of your injuries from the start, which helps when you’re working with your insurance company or attorney.

From patients who came in after an accident
“I was T-Boned in a car accident in January, and made my way to Advanced Body Care Wellness Center. Dr. Roozbeh Sahrai and his staff are wonderful. The integration with my insurance, and the ease of paperwork, took so much stress off of me.”
“I booked an appointment with Dr. Sahrai a few days afterward, and it was no problem getting in, even on short notice! I have had 7 treatments, and am feeling so much better! I’m finally healing from the traumatic car accidents that caused my injuries.”
“I first came in for an accident case and ever since then I’ve continued my treatment because they are the best chiropractic office I’ve ever been to.”

Questions after an accident
How soon after a car accident should I see a chiropractor?
As soon as you can, once emergencies have been ruled out. Many injuries show up hours or days later, and early care gets your recovery started.
Do I need an attorney to come in?
Not necessarily. Some patients come to us through their attorney and others through insurance. Text us and we’ll explain your options.
What should I bring to my first visit?
The date of the accident, your insurance or claim information, your attorney’s contact information if you have one, and any ER, urgent care or imaging records.
Is the treatment gentle?
Yes. Dr. Sahrai often uses the Activator Method, a low-force technique with no twisting or cracking. Manual adjustments are used only when appropriate.
