Auto Accident Chiropractic in Asheville
A visit to the chiropractor is essential following an auto accident.
If you’ve been in an auto accident, you’ve come to the right place. At Asheville Pain and Wellness Center, we’re here to support you every step of the way, helping you heal, recover, and return to life at your highest level of health and well-being. From your first visit forward, our caring team works to make your experience as smooth, relaxing, and stress-free as possible.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Be Seen
Many injuries from a “minor” wreck aren’t apparent right away. Think about it this way: a 300-pound defensive end hitting you at full speed would leave you sore the next day. Now consider a 4,500-pound car rear-ending you in a “low-impact” collision. That kind of force is anything but minor, and your neck is especially vulnerable.
At the time of impact, your body releases natural pain-blocking chemicals similar in strength to morphine. These mask your symptoms until they clear your system, which is why pain, stiffness, and other symptoms often don’t surface for days or even weeks after the accident.
Research shows that even low-speed collisions can cause soft tissue damage, and if left untreated, these injuries can lead to chronic headaches, numbness, muscle weakness, and disc problems down the road.
What We Can Help With
Whether your accident was recent or your symptoms have crept up over time, chiropractic care can help address the underlying injuries and support your body’s natural healing process. Dr. Terri sees patients dealing with neck pain, back pain, headaches, whiplash, sacroiliac pain, knee pain, and shoulder pain.
Your Auto Accident Treatment Plan
Dr. Terri will perform a complete and thorough exam, which typically includes X-rays, to identify the full extent of your injuries and design a treatment plan specific to your condition. Care generally involves a series of gentle spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and targeted exercises. Treatment times vary and are adjusted based on your individual progress.
One important note: being cleared by an emergency room does not mean you are injury-free. ER doctors are trained for life-threatening emergencies, not the kind of musculoskeletal damage that commonly follows a collision. A chiropractic evaluation is a critical next step.
Liens Are Accepted
There is no out-of-pocket expense when you sign a lien. If the accident was not your fault, the at-fault party or their insurance company is typically responsible for covering all medical care and related expenses.
We work directly with auto insurance companies and collaborate with auto accident injury attorneys to ensure proper documentation and continuity of care. Just bring the insurance information or the exchange report from the police officer, and we’ll take care of the rest.
