Personal Injury Chiropractor

Chiropractor for Car Accidents & Personal Injury

If you’ve been involved in a car accident, don’t wait for pain or symptoms to appear before getting evaluated. Many injuries don’t show immediate signs and may take hours or even days for stiffness, soreness, or discomfort to develop as your body calms down from the trauma.

Dr. Jonah recommends scheduling a thorough spinal exam as soon as possible after any auto accident. Early detection of whiplash and other spinal injuries is crucial to managing pain effectively, speeding up recovery, and preventing long-term complications.

Whiplash is the most common injury we see after collisions. It occurs when the force of impact causes the neck muscles to snap violently forward, backward, or sideways—spraining ligaments and causing extreme movement in the head and spine.

Car accident injuries often involve damage to muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments in and around the spine. If left untreated, these injuries can alter the spine’s natural curvature, leading to permanent loss of function and ongoing pain.

At Elevation Chiropractic, Dr. Jonah treats many complex issues related to car accidents, including:

  • Whiplash

  • Headaches & Migraines

  • Dizziness & Vertigo

  • Neck Pain

  • Back Pain

  • Shoulder Pain

  • Hip & Leg Pain

  • Knee & Foot Pain

  • Wrist Pain

  • Herniated Discs

  • Soft Tissue Injury

At Elevation Chiropractic, Dr. Jonah will create a thorough care plan designed to alleviate your pain, correct any injuries, and stabilize your spine to prevent long-term pain or loss of function. This approach often reduces or eliminates the need for medication and surgery.
