THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY INTERVENTION AFTER A MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION

October 30, 20251 min read

After a motor vehicle collision (MVC), many individuals delay care, hoping symptoms like neck pain, headaches, or back stiffness will resolve on their own. However, research shows that early chiropractic intervention can significantly improve recovery outcomes and reduce the risk of chronic pain.

Chiropractors are trained to assess soft tissue injuries, spinal misalignments, and joint dysfunctions that often go unnoticed in emergency room evaluations. Addressing these issues early can promote faster healing, restore mobility, and decrease the need for long-term medications or invasive procedures.

Key Insight:
Early chiropractic care isn't just about pain relief—it's about restoring function, preventing long-term complications, and supporting your body’s natural healing process from day one.

If you’ve been in an MVC, don’t wait for symptoms to worsen. Schedule your chiropractic evaluation today and take the first step toward recovery.

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!
