Auto Accident

Were you recently in a car crash and still feeling aches, stiffness, or lingering pain? At Woodroof Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Olathe, we specialize in comprehensive chiropractic care for auto‐injury victims—whether it’s whiplash, neck motion trauma, back stress, or post‐accident symptoms that show up days after the impact.

Common Injuries from Car Accidents

 

  • Whiplash (cervical hyperextension/hyperflexion) causing neck pain, headaches and upper-back tightness
  • Lower-back strain from seat-belt impact, lumbar flexion and driving posture
  • Disc bulges or herniations triggered by impact forces and cumulative loading
  • Soft-tissue damage, muscle spasms, joint dysfunction and delayed pain onset

 

 

Why Early Chiropractic Care Matters

It’s not uncommon for accident injury symptoms to hide until the adrenaline subsides. Getting assessed early allows us to:

  • Identify underlying spinal joint or disc damage before it worsens
  • Reduce scar tissue, muscle compensation and joint restriction through precise chiropractic adjustments and soft-tissue care
  • Improve mobility and reduce pain so recovery is faster, more complete and less likely to lead to chronic issues

Our Approach for Auto-Accident Injuries

At our Olathe clinic we offer a full program tailored to auto‐injury victims:

  • Structural chiropractic adjustments of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine
  • Spinal/vertebral decompression to unload discs and relieve nerve pressure
  • Hydromassage and soft-tissue therapy to calm muscles and accelerate healing
  • Therapeutic exercise, posture correction and home-routine creation to prevent long-term problems
  • Insurance- and attorney-friendly documentation to support your recovery journey

What You Can Expect

Most patients experiencing auto-injury respond well within the first few weeks of care, provided they follow the prescribed plan. Early treatment helps minimize chronic pain, stiffness and secondary injury patterns. Those with more complex disc involvement or nerve irritation may require slightly longer rehabilitation.
