Injury Care That Gets You Back Moving

A spinal adjustment is delivered by a doctor of chiropractic to help restore mobility and normal joint function. This is essential for injury recovery because restoring proper spinal mechanics positions the body to heal itself naturally.

Although adjusting the cervical spine is part of what chiropractors do, cracking the neck is not always necessary or beneficial for every patient. Each patient is unique. When patients have sustained injuries from an accident, delivering a high-velocity adjustment to the neck is not always comfortable or the best method. Therefore, at Back and Better Injury Center, we assess each patient individually and ensure their treatment process is comfortable, positioning them to heal optimally. There are many ways to restore motion to a spinal segment, and cracking is not always necessary to achieve this goal.

Car accidents can be very traumatic events where the body undergoes a sudden acceleration/deceleration motion, known as whiplash. Muscles surrounding the injured body parts will spasm as a protective mechanism, resulting in pain, limited range of motion, and altered body mechanics. Chiropractic care aids in recovery by aligning spinal and extremity joints, loosening soft tissue tension, and decreasing pain to restore proper joint mechanics, positioning the body to heal naturally.

In Florida, you must seek medical care within 14 days of a motor vehicle accident to qualify for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits, which help cover reasonable and necessary medical expenses.

Symptoms from an accident are not always immediate. Adrenaline can mask pain and discomfort for days after a collision, making early evaluation essential even if you initially feel fine.

At Back and Better Injury Center, we provide prompt evaluations to help you begin recovery quickly and maintain eligibility for PIP benefits. If needed, we can also connect you with trusted attorneys who specialize in accident cases.
