Auto Accident Injury Care
After an auto accident, a thorough evaluation can help determine the extent of your injuries and the appropriate direction for care. Our Doctors evaluate Whiplash, Flexion-Extension Injuries, and other accident-related conditions to determine whether Chiropractic care is appropriate for you.
YOU NEED TO KNOW...
How We Evaluate Auto Accident Injuries
Following an auto accident, injuries to the neck and spine can occur from the rapid forces placed on the body during impact. Whiplash and other Flexion-Extension Injuries may affect the joints, muscles, ligaments and supporting structures of the cervical spine. Our Doctors perform a comprehensive evaluation to better understand the nature of your injuries and determine the appropriate direction for care.
When NUCCA or Chiropractic care is appropriate, we develop an individualized plan based on your examination findings and specific needs. When your condition requires care outside our scope, we help direct you to the appropriate medical provider or specialist.

How We Evaluate Your Auto Accident Injuries
Following an auto accident, injuries to the neck and spine can occur from the rapid forces placed on the body during impact. Whiplash and other Flexion-Extension Injuries may affect the joints, muscles, ligaments, and supporting structures of the cervical spine.
At Alpha Spine Center, our Doctors begin with a comprehensive history and examination to understand how the accident occurred, your symptoms, and the nature of your injuries. We evaluate your posture, spinal function, range of motion, muscle tension, and other objective findings to determine the appropriate direction for care.
When indicated, we use digital X-ray imaging and other objective testing to further evaluate your condition. Our goal is not simply to determine where you hurt, but to understand how the accident may have affected the structure and function of your spine.
If NUCCA or Chiropractic care is appropriate, we will explain our findings and develop an individualized plan based on your examination and specific needs. Our approach is gentle and precise, without twisting, cracking, or popping.
If your injuries require care outside our scope, we will help direct you to the appropriate medical provider or specialist. Our goal is to help you understand your condition and determine the right direction for your care.
OBJECTIVE TESTING...
Objective Testing After an Auto Accident
Auto accident injuries can affect the spine, muscles, joints, and nervous system in ways that may not be fully understood from symptoms alone. At Alpha Spine Center, we use objective examination procedures and technology to help document how your body has been affected following an accident.
When clinically indicated, testing may include digital X-rays, thermography, surface electromyography (sEMG), and DynaROM™ assessment. These findings, combined with your history and physical examination, help our Doctors better understand your injuries, establish appropriate care, and objectively monitor your progress.
DIGITAL X-RAYS
Helps us evaluate spinal structure and identify findings that may be important following an accident.
THERMOGRAPHY
Provides objective information about patterns of nervous system function that may assist in our evaluation.
sEMG
Measures patterns of muscle activity to provide objective information about muscular function.
DynaROM™ ASSESSMENT
Provides objective measurements of movement and muscle activity to help document functional changes following an injury.
