Auto accidents happen every day in Fargo and West Fargo, and even minor collisions can leave lasting injuries. Many people walk away feeling “okay,” only to experience neck pain, headaches, or back stiffness days later. At IllumINNATE Walk-In Family Chiropractic, we frequently help patients recover from auto accident injuries before they become long-term problems.
One of the most common injuries after a crash is whiplash. This occurs when the head and neck are forced forward and backward suddenly, straining muscles, ligaments, and joints. Symptoms may include neck pain, reduced range of motion, headaches, dizziness, or shoulder pain. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper movement to the spine, which can reduce inflammation and improve healing.
Chiropractic care is especially important after an accident because not all injuries show up on imaging like X-rays or MRIs. Soft tissue injuries and joint restrictions can cause pain and stiffness that worsen over time if left untreated. A chiropractor can assess spinal alignment, mobility, and nervous system function to identify issues early.
At IllumINNATE Walk-In Family Chiropractic, we work with auto accident patients from Fargo, West Fargo, Horace, and Moorhead. Chiropractic care can help:
Many patients also appreciate that chiropractic care is non-invasive and drug-free. Instead of masking pain, chiropractic adjustments aim to address the underlying cause of discomfort.
If you’ve been in an auto accident—even if it was weeks ago—it’s not too late to seek care. Early treatment often leads to faster recovery and better long-term outcomes.
