Types of Accidents We Treat
We Treat All Types of Auto Accidents
No matter how the accident happened, our team has the experience to evaluate and treat your injuries.
Most Common
Rear-End Collisions
▾
During a rear-end crash your car seat is rapidly accelerated forward against your torso. Adjacent vertebrae can move in opposite directions, spraining or straining the ligaments that hold your spine together. One of the most common causes of chronic back pain if not treated promptly.
High Impact
Side Impact (T-Bone) Collisions
▾
Side-impact crashes place sudden lateral force on the neck, spine, and shoulders. The head is often whipped sideways injuring the cervical spine. Frequently results in whiplash, shoulder injuries, and rib trauma.
Severe
Head-On Collisions
▾
Head-on collisions generate extreme forward force on the body and commonly cause injuries to the cervical and lumbar spine, chest, knees, and soft tissue throughout the body. Early treatment is critical.
Complex
Rollover Accidents
▾
Rollover accidents subject the body to forces in multiple directions, often causing complex spinal injuries, head trauma, and soft tissue damage throughout the body.
Vulnerable Road Users
Motorcycle, Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents
▾
Riders, cyclists, and pedestrians absorb the full impact of a collision without vehicle protection. These accidents often result in more severe musculoskeletal injuries, fractures, and spinal trauma. AmeriWell has extensive experience treating these complex cases.

Common Questions
Auto Accident FAQs
Tap a question to read the answer.
FAQ
How soon after an accident should I seek care?
▾
As soon as possible after your initial emergency evaluation. Early chiropractic care is the most effective way to prevent symptoms from becoming permanent. Research shows a significant percentage of rear-end collisions result in pain and disability even ten years after the crash.
FAQ
Can chiropractic treat injuries from an old accident?
▾
Yes. Many patients develop pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion long after a crash. Chiropractic care can significantly help with these delayed or chronic symptoms even years after the accident occurred.
FAQ
Can my child get chiropractic care after a crash?
▾
Yes. Chiropractic care has no age limit. Children involved in auto accidents can absolutely benefit from treatment at AmeriWell. Call us to discuss your child’s specific situation.
FAQ
Do I need a referral to be seen?
▾
That depends on your insurance provider. Some companies require referrals and others do not. Our business office can help clarify your coverage. Walk-ins are always welcome.
