Car Accident Injury Recovery
If you’ve recently sustained an injury as a result of a vehicle accident, our team at Fox Integrated Healthcare is here to help get you out of pain and on the road to recovery. During a vehicle accident, your spine and surrounding soft tissues may sustain significant force, which not only causes injury but also forces your musculoskeletal system out of its normal, healthy alignment. Unfortunately, this phenomenon can induce significant discomfort, along with reduced range of motion and limited mobility.
As part of our integrated health approach to healing and recovery, our chiropractor Dr. Derek Fox, DC, BCN draws on a variety of specialties to accelerate your healing time and get you out of pain. Depending on your unique injury and current limitations, treatments may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, deep tissue laser therapy, dry needling, massage therapy, decompression therapy and others.

Health Benefits of Auto Accident Injury Recovery
Our integrated health approach to car accident injury recovery offers a variety of health benefits for individuals struggling with injury-related pain and physical limitations, including:
Pain Relief
Chiropractic adjustments gradually restore your spine’s normal alignment, which facilitates significant pain relief and healthy functioning of every system within your body. When we utilize synergistic, specialty therapies in combination with your chiropractic adjustments, we help you experience lasting relief from both acute and chronic pain.
Mobility Improvement
When your body sustains trauma during a car accident injury, the result is often dramatically reduced range of motion and mobility. Through manual or instrument-assisted chiropractic adjustments, we bring your body back into appropriate alignment, which allows your musculoskeletal system to resume normal functioning. Soft tissue therapies also work to release tension and adhesions, thereby increasing your range of motion and overall mobility.
Expedited Healing Time
At its core, your body is a self-healing organism, but when it sustains trauma, often, it cannot heal that trauma completely on its own. Using a variety of therapies, we gradually restore spinal alignment, improve nervous system communication, break down scar tissue, release soft tissue tension and promote increased blood flow. Our integrative approach works to speed your body’s healing time and get you back to enjoying the activities you love most.
What to Expect With Auto Accident Injury Recovery
At Fox Integrated Healthcare, the first step in your car accident injury recovery treatment is your consultation, where we’ll have a conversation about your individual health concerns, needs and goals of chiropractic care.
If we determine you are a candidate for treatment, we’ll then proceed to your physical evaluation, during which we’ll perform a series of diagnostic techniques to locate musculoskeletal shifts and injuries in need of attention. We’ll also discuss your medical history, lifestyle habits and current limitations, which allows us to reach the most informed diagnosis possible.
After reviewing the results of your evaluation, Dr. Derek Fox, DC, BCN will formulate your individualized treatment protocol and discuss our findings with you in-depth. As part of your custom care plan, we may recommend a variety of complementary therapies designed that are designed to work synergistically to speed your healing time and alleviate injury-related discomfort. The recommended duration of your treatment will depend on your unique concerns, the therapies we deem necessary and your body’s response to treatment.
Auto Accident Injury Frequently Asked Questions
Immediately after a car accident, it’s critical that you have a physical evaluation to determine the extent of your injuries. Frequently, injuries are not apparent immediately after a collision or even in the days and weeks following the accident; however, that doesn’t mean they aren’t silently wreaking havoc on your system in the background. Chiropractic evaluation and care after a car accident are widely considered safe, provided your chiropractor determines you are a candidate for treatment.
At Fox Integrated Healthcare, we perform on-site, digital x-rays, to determine the location of your injuries and any structural shifts within your body. We rely on this technology to help us reach the most informed diagnosis for your unique injury.
