COMPLICATIONS AFTER A COLLISION: WHY TIMELY TREATMENT IS CRUCIAL

May 12, 2025•1 min read

Motor vehicle collisions can lead to various complications that may not be immediately apparent. We want to stress the importance of seeking timely chiropractic care to address these issues.

Many individuals may walk away from an accident feeling fine, only to develop pain or other complications days or weeks later. Conditions such as whiplash, joint misalignments, and soft tissue injuries can lead to chronic issues if not treated promptly.

Key Insight:

Delaying treatment can lead to improper healing and long-term consequences, including chronic pain and decreased mobility. Early chiropractic intervention can help mitigate these risks and promote optimal recovery.

If you’ve been in a motor vehicle collision, don’t hesitate to contact our office for a thorough evaluation. Your health is our priority.

★★★★★

Excellent care, from the person at the front desk (very pleasant to all who were checking in, including myself), to my masseuse (Kathleen?) who had already read my intake form and asked clarifying questions as it was my first visit. She covered all area I had mentioned. I went here because it was on my insurance company’s list of cover d providers, and I’m glad I did.

I had my first massage with Heather and it was one of the best massages I’ve had! She worked through the knots on my neck and shoulders. The bed was heated and it went low enough for me to get on East (I’m 5’ tall). I also see Kathleen regularly and I love her! She uses lavender which I love. Sometime I feel chatty and we have the same vibe. Highly recommend them!

Most in depth chiropractic experience I've ever had. The focus isn't just on getting the cracks, but more of a holistic approach. We did some lazer therapy and after each session they would have me lay on a "bed" of ice or heat while a machine rolled my back out. It was great. The whole office staff is very nice and they ladies at the front always remembered my name when I walked it. 10/10 experience.

I had just gotten off the plane from the East Coast. I was in so much pain with Siatica. I called this office and they got me right in. Dr. Peter worked on me and was very thorough. I was able to enjoy my week with my son with little to no pain. I would highly recommend In Touch Chiropractic to everyone! The office is super friendly and better than anyone I have seen on the East Coast. Definitely the place to go if you’re in pain like I was!
