Even a minor fender bender can leave a lasting impact on your body. Neck stiffness, headaches, shoulder pain, and whiplash symptoms are all common issues that don't always show up right away after a car accident. If you're recovering from a motor vehicle collision, early care matters.

At Chinook Chiropractic, Physiotherapy & Massage on Macleod Trail SW, we specialize in treating car accident injuries through integrated chiropractic and physiotherapy care. Our clinic at Chinook Centre is easy to access, offers direct billing, and provides experienced support to help you heal, regain mobility, and feel like yourself again.
Most patients do not show symptoms until days or weeks after the accident, so even if you feel fine right away, it’s a good plan to book an early evaluation.
Car Accidents and Chiropractic: A Powerful Combination for Recovery
Car accidents often cause unexpected damage to your musculoskeletal system. The most common injury is whiplash, in which the neck and spine are forcefully jerked back and forth. If not attended to, this can lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, nerve impingement, and muscle imbalances.
Our team offers both chiropractic and physiotherapies to:
Ease neck and back pain caused by whiplash
Restore range of motion and spinal alignment
Reduce muscle tension and inflammation
Prevent long-term pain and stiffness
Most patients do not show symptoms until days or weeks after the accident, so even if you feel fine right away, it’s a good plan to book an early evaluation. Our experience with car accidents and chiropractic treatment ensures you're getting care designed to promote recovery and prevent chronic conditions.
