In a Car Accident? Here’s Why You Should See a Chiropractor
If you’ve recently been in a car accident, whether it seemed serious or just a “fender bender,” it’s important not to overlook how your body feels afterward. Sometimes, pain or stiffness doesn’t show up right away, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t injuries beneath the surface.
At Elevation Chiropractic in Ankeny, Dr. Jonah Knous provides specialized chiropractic care for those recovering from car accidents. With a focus on natural, non-invasive treatments, our goal is to help you heal faster, feel better, and avoid long-term damage.
Why Chiropractic Care Matters After an Auto Accident
Injuries like whiplash, back pain, and soft tissue strain can take hours—or even days—to fully develop. That’s why it’s so important to get checked right away, even if you don’t feel immediate discomfort. A thorough spinal evaluation can detect hidden injuries and get you on the path to healing before symptoms worsen.
Common Injuries We Help Treat:
Whiplash
Neck & Shoulder Pain
Lower Back Pain
Headaches & Migraines
Dizziness or Vertigo
Joint Pain (Hips, Knees, Wrists, Ankles)
Herniated or Bulging Discs
Muscle Spasms & Soft Tissue Damage
Whiplash is one of the most common post-accident injuries. It happens when the force of impact causes the head and neck to snap forward and backward abruptly, leading to damage in the muscles, ligaments, and spine. Without prompt care, whiplash can lead to chronic long-term pain, stiffness, and even nerve-related issues.
