If you’ve been in a car accident, you may feel pain immediately or it can be delayed for days or even weeks. At Access To Health, Dr. Beard will evaluate and treat you after a car accident. She looks for injuries to the spine and muscles that are immediately apparent and for many of those that are “silent.”
Getting timely chiropractic care can lower the risk of long-term complications from car accident injuries. One study showed that accident victims with neck, upper back, and lower back pain who had received chiropractic care, experienced a significant decrease in pain. The study also showed that there was an increase in movement compared to patients who only received a cervical collar and rest.

- Whiplash
- Herniated discs
- Spinal misalignments
- Soft tissue injuries
Winter is here in Fort Collins, Colorado! Unfortunately, winter weather often brings with it an increase in car accidents. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential after a car accident. Chiropractic treatments can help relieve your pain without the use of medication or surgery. Although pain medication is frequently used after an injury, it can only mask the problem rather than directly addressing the cause of your pain. Chiropractic care gets to the root of the problem to reduce inflammation and provide effective pain relief.
