Have you been in a car accident? Auto collisions happen every day. Not only are they scary, but they can cause severe injuries. If you’re in a car accident, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you don’t think you’re injured, it’s best to get checked out right away.
Not all injuries result in pain right away. Sometimes it’s obvious that you are hurt, while other times, pain can manifest over time and come out several weeks later. Our chiropractic team is here to evaluate you after your accident and make sure we stay on top of any developing issues. It’s important to get ahead of your injuries rather you realize they are there, or not. Waiting can cause long-term issues for your body.
Injury Treatment
If you’re feeling the impacts of a car accident, you’ll want to seek professional attention soon to get to the root cause of the problem.
Whiplash is the primary injury people deal with from accidents. Chiropractic care can help you heal faster and feel great again.
Long Term Prevention
Even without obvious pain or discomfort, chiropractic care will ensure no problems arise later down the road from your accident.
During a crash, the car doesn’t absorb the full shock of the crash, the occupants do. When your body is jerked around in response, it’s very likely to experience trauma and injury internally.
The funny thing about pain is the way it can show up when you least expect it. Even if you feel fine immediately after a car accident, it’s always a good idea to get checked out by a medical practitioner. If you’ve been in an accident, it’s recommended to see a Chiropractor to evaluate any potential underlying injuries.
If you do have injuries, chiropractic care can help. Chiropractors are experts in treating auto accident injuries. They can help you regain your mobility and get back to your everyday life. In many cases, chiropractic care can even help reduce the amount of time you need to recover.
Car crashes rattle your body, and your spine, which can cause immediate pain or discomfort that arises weeks later. It’s important to not go unchecked. The longer you let your injuries go, the more problematic it will become later. It’s recommended to see a Chiropractor as soon as possible after a car accident.
Common Injuries from a Car Accident
Auto accidents are extremely dangerous and even fatal. But even small fender benders can cause a significant impact on your body without you knowing.
Here are common injuries that result from car crashes:
Whiplash
This is the most common injury from car accidents. Whiplash is caused when your head snaps forward and then back again, oftentimes faster than your neck can move. This can cause damage to the tendons, muscles, and ligaments in your neck. Symptoms of whiplash include pain in the neck, headaches, dizziness, and blurred vision.
Back injuries
Car accidents can cause back injuries such as a herniated disk or spinal cord compression. These injuries can be extremely painful and may require surgery.
Brain injuries
Brain injuries are another serious injury that can occur from a car accident. They can range from minor concussions to more serious Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). Symptoms of a brain injury include confusion, headaches, blurred vision, and dizziness.
Fractures & Broken Bones
Broken bones are another common injury from car accidents. A broken bone can take a long time to heal, and in some cases, may never fully heal.
If you’ve been in a car accident, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you don’t think you’re injured, it’s best to get checked out right away.
How do Chiropractors Treat Auto Injuries?
Our chiropractic team in Valley evaluates you for possible injuries that you may not even feel yet. We’ll do a full review of your spinal column, vertebrae, neck, and extremities to ensure that nothing is misaligned. It’s very common to find misalignments after auto accidents.
Based on your exam, we’ll perform adjustments to get you back into alignment so your body can heal properly. We also may provide you with some at-home exercises or stretches to help improve mobility and reduce pain.
In many cases, chiropractic care can help reduce the amount of time you need to recover from your car accident. It’s important to get ahead of your injuries, rather than waiting until they become a problem.
Our chiropractic team is here to provide the care you need after a car accident. We specialize in treating auto accident injuries and can help get you back to your everyday life as quickly as possible. Contact us today for more information or to schedule an appointment.
Friendly Staff and Dr. Padgett is so good, he
cares and he explains very good. I was so
impress and I will refer all my family and friends to this office. My shoulder and
left leg feel so much better after this first visit. I cant wait to go back Tuesday.
I went to Dr. Padgett for relief and he helped me understand what was going on. He takes Xrays on your first visit and then he reviews them and explains them your next visit. Shannon and Lexi were the sweetest with me and my daughter. They answered every question and explained everything that was going on. Letting me know how things work and what to expect. I truly recommend this office.
I have been going to Valley Chiropractic and Dr. Padgett for about 2 weeks now and I am very impressed with the results so far. The staff is super friendly and nice. They make you feel so welcomed. I would highly recommend Valley Chiropractic to anyone who is looking for a chiropractor. 10 out of 5 Stars!!!!
Dr Padgett and his staff are awesome. They really listened to my problem and treated me accordingly. No cookie cutter treatment here. Every one is treated special.<br>Thank you all.
This was my first visit, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The office gives luxury vibes, yet still feels warm and welcoming—one of those places that makes you forget you’re in a small town the moment you walk in. The staff isn’t just professional; they’re genuinely friendly and personable, and they truly live out their motto through their interactions. I’ve never received local care that followed up after a visit just to check on me, and that alone meant a lot. The technology is impressive, the service is welcoming, and the care is truly top tier.<br><br>But of course, this is a chiropractic office—so let’s talk results. I was in an accident ten years ago and, due to pregnancy at the time, I wasn’t able to receive much treatment because of potential risks to my baby (who is healthy and unharmed 🙏🏾). The front and rear impacts shifted my pelvis, leaving one hip higher than the other. Walking or standing for long periods has been painful, and I’ve also dealt with ongoing neck and shoulder pain, headaches, and insomnia as a result.<br><br>After just one visit, I feel a noticeable difference in all my problem areas. Even more surprising, I feel deeply relaxed—and for the first time in months, I’m actually heading to bed at 8 p.m. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to fall asleep before 1 a.m., so this is huge for me.<br><br>Thank you so much to Dr. Padgett and the entire staff. I truly appreciate the care and attention you provide.<br><br>If you’re looking for top-notch chiropractic care close to home, this place is a gem. I even recorded a video but didn’t see an option to upload it here.<br><br>This place is EVERYTHING.
My first time visiting. Dr. Padgett was caring, thorough, and patient. I feel confident, that with the treatment options in office, will be a great addition to my chiropractic care. I truly felt seen and cared for, instead of a time slot. I look forward to returning for my personailized treatment plan.
Dr Chris Padgett is your first place to go for healing the overused body! I highly recommend seeing him if you suffer from fibromyalgia and arthritis. Oh the relief that comes from having your body adjusted . Never have to wait more than 15 mins, the staff is very nice.
Dr Chris has been working with me regularly to get my back/sciatic pain under control and it’s made a huge difference! The staff are friendly, the office is welcoming, and they’ll have you in and out in no time. Highly recommend!
I’m not sure if visiting a chiropractor will help my issues, but I would never go to another one. Dr. Padgett made me feel very secure and safe and explained everything that he was gonna do. He didn’t even make me feel silly for being so nervous if you’ve been on the fence about seeing a chiropractor, I wholeheartedly recommend going to Valley chiropractic. His whole team that was there today was just so nice.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Padgett & his staff! He was so patient with me & very thorough. I felt heard & understood. I look forward to many more visits at this facility.
I have been using Valley Chiropractic for a long time when my old back injuries flare up. The staff and Dr. Padgett are the best. I would highly recommend them.
I’ve never been to a chiropractor a day in my life, until I found out about them! All i can say is this group of people are top tier! The convenience of walk in’s with no appointment was awesome! Got me in and out within no time and i felt welcomed/ well cared for throughout the whole process! I highly recommend Valley Chiropractic! Keep up the great work!

Dr Chris and all his staff are friendly and professional. I have enjoyed coming to the office and being treated for me needs and being able to tell the difference after a treatment.
Dr Chris is the best!!<br>I can't go as much as I used to due to health problems but when I do go, I come out feeling much better.<br>He doesn't leave you in the waiting room more than 5 minutes or so.<br>He gets you right in. Hardly have time to sit down.<br>He and his staff are always nice and smiling.<br>I highly recommend anyone who is in pain... Go see Dr Chris and stop living in pain!!
Valley Chiropractic is by far the best in the area. Dr. Chris and his staff are fantastic, they know me by name, and truly care about getting you better.
Kind and caring and attentive, Chris and Kyle and Katie took great care of my wife who has been flat on the floor for nearly two weeks. After 3 visits there’s been such great improvement and new hope for healing! Love these guys!
Due to continuous back problems I ve seen other chiropractors through the years. Dr. Padgett has helped my problem more than any I I ve seen. I recommend him highly.
Dr Padgett and his team are the absolute best! When you walk into his office you’re immediately greeted and they’re always so kind. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Padgett, I have been seeing him on and off for years and every single time I am there he is always so kind and shows so much concern and compassion! Hands down the best there is!! Shannon Walker
They are like going to see your family. They are super friendly and the wait time is only a few minutes. Plus the doctor takes the time, every time to greet you and have a conversation to see what if any issues or questions you might have. I highly recommend Valley Chiropractor for everyone looking for a great chiropractor!
Always enjoy my visits with such an awesome group of people. The staff is so friendly, concerned and supportive of their patients. Dr. Chris is an amazing chiropractor. I always feel so much better after my adjustment. Love you all ❤️
My mom suffered from dementia so unfortunately only got to see Dr Padgett once but I can say he was awesome. Super friendly with mom. Very patient. Explained everything. His staff was very nice as well. I would highly recommend.
