Car accidents can cause more than visible injuries; they often lead to hidden soft tissue and spinal trauma that may not appear immediately but can cause long-term pain and mobility issues. At Indian Trail Chiropractic & Rehab, we specialize in diagnosing and treating auto accident injuries using safe, non-invasive chiropractic methods. Our goal is to relieve pain, restore function, and help patients recover fully after trauma.
Common Auto Accident Injuries We Treat
Open neck pain page
Neck Pain
Neck pain often develops from poor posture, spinal misalignment, or tension in the surrounding muscles. Left untreated, it can lead to stiffness, headaches, and radiating discomfort into the shoulders and arms. We use precise adjustments, soft tissue work, and targeted exercises to relieve pressure, restore range of motion, and address the underlying cause of your pain.

Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, and it can stem from muscle strain, spinal misalignment, disc issues, or prolonged poor posture. Our approach goes beyond temporary relief—we assess your spine, identify the root cause, and create a personalized plan using adjustments, decompression therapy, and corrective exercises to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent recurrence.

Headache & Migraine
Chronic headaches and migraines are often linked to tension in the neck, spinal misalignment, or nerve irritation. Rather than masking symptoms with medication, our chiropractic care addresses the underlying causes through gentle adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and lifestyle recommendations. Many patients find lasting relief and a significant reduction in the frequency and intensity of their headaches.
Trauma to the spine can compress or irritate nerves, leading to pain, tingling, or numbness in the back, arms, or legs. We focus on relieving nerve pressure, improving circulation, and restoring normal function through chiropractic care and corrective rehabilitation.
Whiplash & Soft Tissue Trauma Care
Every accident and injury is unique. We perform a detailed assessment to identify soft tissue damage, spinal misalignments, and nerve involvement. Our personalized care plans combine chiropractic adjustments, decompression therapy, massage therapy, and corrective exercises to restore full function. We also collaborate with medical providers and rehabilitation specialists when needed for comprehensive recovery support.
Start Your Recovery After an Accident
Chiropractic care offers a drug-free approach to healing after trauma. It addresses the root causes of pain instead of masking symptoms with medication. With gentle adjustments, patients often experience improved mobility, faster recovery, and long-term pain relief. Early intervention can prevent chronic issues such as arthritis, headaches, or nerve pain.
