Car Accidet Injury Chiropractor
Car accidents — even minor ones — can have a lasting impact on your body. You might walk away feeling fine at first, only to experience stiffness, headaches, or intense pain days later. These delayed symptoms often signal structural issues, soft-tissue damage, or nerve irritation from the sudden jolt of impact.
At Rody Chiropractic Massage & Health, we specialize in helping patients recover from auto accident injuries through a combination of Atlas Orthogonal and full-spine chiropractic care, massage therapy, laser treatments, and IDD therapy.
Why Auto Accidents Affect the Body So Deeply?
When a collision occurs, your body absorbs sudden, intense forces. Even at low speeds, your head and spine can be whipped forward and backward, a motion known as whiplash. This can strain muscles, sprain ligaments, shift the alignment of your joints, and even injure discs. These small misalignments in your spinal joints can cause big problems — from nerve pressure and headaches to dizziness and pain.
The Atlas Orthogonal Solution
Our doctors use the Atlas Orthogonal technique, a precise and gentle method that focuses on realigning the atlas vertebra at the top of the spine. There’s no twisting or popping — just a gentle, measured correction that restores the atlas vertebra to its proper position. In conjunction with the specific upper cervical adjustment, we provide full-spine and extremity treatment with manual and instrument-assisted techniques to better meet the individual’s needs.
When the atlas is adequately corrected, patients often notice immediate improvements in:
-Neck and shoulder tension
-Headache frequency
-Range of motion
Massage Therapy for Post-Accident Recovery
Massage therapy is essential for healing after a car accident because it addresses the soft tissue component of your injury. Muscles that tighten in response to trauma can restrict movement and prolong pain.
Our massage team works alongside your chiropractor to:
-Loosen tight or inflamed muscles
-Increase circulation and reduce swelling
-Help the body integrate adjustments more effectively
-Promote deep relaxation during recovery
This team-based approach ensures that both your spine and soft tissues are healing
together, not working against each other.
Laser Therapy — Cellular-Level Healing
Many car accident injuries involve inflammation, bruising, and microtears in tissue. Cold laser therapy works deep within the skin’s layers to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain.
IDD Therapy Relief for Disc and Nerve Pain
In cases involving disc injuries or nerve compression, IDD therapy (Intervertebral
Differential Dynamics) offers a targeted, gentle decompression of the spine. It helps
relieve pressure on nerves, opening disc spaces, and allowing oxygen and nutrients to
flow into the affected discs for healing. Patients recovering from rear-end collisions or chronic neck and back pain often find IDD therapy to be a game-changer in their recovery process.
Comprehensive, Compassionate Care
What sets Rody Chiropractic apart is our whole-body, team-based approach. We understand that healing isn’t just about fixing one area — it’s about restoring your entire body to balance. From your initial assessment to your final treatment, our doctors, massage therapists, and staff work together to ensure you receive the most effective and comfortable care possible. We work with auto insurance, personal injury claims (PIP), lawyers, and third parties to
help you navigate your claim so you can focus on getting well.
Don’t Wait to Get Checked
Even if your car accident seemed minor, it’s important to get evaluated right away. Small
misalignments and soft tissue injuries can worsen over time, leading to chronic headaches, fatigue, and back pain.
With our comprehensive approach from multiple treatment options, we can help your body recover the right way — from the inside out.
