Auto Accident Chiropractic in Morgantown WV

person with neck pain after auto accidentEven in a low-speed auto accident, your body can sustain tremendous damage—far beyond what you might expect based on what your car looks like. Modern automobiles are designed to withstand significant impact with minimal deformation.

Unfortunately, the human body doesn’t come with extra reinforcements! Typically, in a collision, your head is forced beyond its normal movement in one direction and then quickly snaps beyond its normal movement in the opposite direction. This is an assault on the capacity of the ligaments and musculoskeletal structures and can even cause compression into the joint bone itself.

These injuries should be addressed by a chiropractor as quickly as possible to help ensure that the body heals in a functional manner.

At Toth Chiropractic and Wellness, we have decades of experience helping patients who have been injured in car accidents—and we’d love to help you, too.

Heal Correctly

The medical approach to a whiplash injury is often to immobilize the neck. However, if the neck is immobilized while the joints are not properly aligned, the result will be pain and pain avoidance, which leads to compensatory movement patterns and bigger problems down the road.

Seeing a chiropractor FIRST allows us to assess the movement of the spinal joints and restore proper alignment and motion. With the spine properly aligned, the body can heal the muscles and ligaments in a functional manner and help prevent long-term problems.

Navigating the Process

We are here to help guide you through the process, and we’ll help with all the paperwork and documentation required by the insurance company. We want you to focus on getting better, so we do whatever we can to ease your stress!

What to Expect

Your first visit will take about 45 minutes to one hour, including filling out some paperwork and a thorough consultation and evaluation by Dr. Toth. If he feels that X-rays are needed, he will refer you out for those.
