Conditions we treat

Auto accident injury care in Battle Creek and Galesburg.

The pain from a collision often shows up a day or two later, in the neck, the back, the shoulders. If you were in an accident, here is what to do and how we help.

Why you hurt more the next day

In a collision your body absorbs a sudden force, and the neck in particular gets whipped forward and back faster than the muscles can brace for. That is whiplash. The strange part is that the pain and stiffness often do not peak until a day or two later, once the initial adrenaline wears off. Headaches, a stiff neck, back pain, and trouble sleeping are all common.

Getting checked early matters, even if you feel only a little sore. Injuries that are treated soon after an accident tend to settle more smoothly than ones left for weeks.

How we approach accident injuries at Myers Chiropractic

We examine what the accident did to your neck and back, explain what we find, and lay out a plan to get you moving again. Adjustments, in house massage, and when a case calls for it Class IV laser work together to calm the injured tissue and restore motion.

We see auto accident and personal injury cases regularly, and we handle the documentation these cases require so you can focus on healing.

Accident care questions

What people ask us after a collision.

I feel fine after my accident, should I still get checked?

It is worth it. Whiplash and soft tissue injuries often do not hurt until a day or two later. A quick exam now can catch something before it settles in.

Do you handle the paperwork for accident cases?

Yes. Auto accident and personal injury cases come with documentation, and we take care of our part of it.

How soon after the accident should I come in?

Sooner is better. Early care tends to make for a smoother recovery, but it is worth being seen even if some time has passed.

What should I bring?

Just yourself and any details you have about the accident. We will walk you through the rest.
