Specialized Chiropractic Care for Patients Who Experienced an Auto Accident
Common Auto Accident Injuries
Victims of car accidents may face a variety of conditions, each with its challenges
Victims of car accidents may experience a variety of injuries, each with its own set of symptoms and challenges:
Whiplash
This injury is characterized by a rapid movement of the neck, akin to a whip’s lash, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It typically results from rear-end collisions and may not become apparent until a day or more after the accident.
Soft Tissue Injuries
These injuries involve damage to the body’s muscles, ligaments, and tendons. They can cause pain, swelling, and a significant reduction in movement and strength in the affected areas.
Herniated Discs
A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in the disc’s outer layer, pressing on nearby nerves. This can lead to back pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.
Shoulder Injuries
The shoulder can suffer from dislocations, rotator cuff damage, and other injuries due to the force exerted during a car crash. These injuries may impair mobility and cause persistent pain.
Knee Trauma
The impact of a car accident can cause ligament injuries or fractures in the knee, leading to severe pain, swelling, and difficulty in bearing weight or walking.
Seat Belt Syndrome
While seat belts are crucial for safety, they can also cause injuries during a collision. The pressure from a seat belt can lead to chest, abdomen, and spinal injuries, often necessitating medical attention.

What Patients Have Said About BodyWise Chiropractic
“I am so glad that I found Dr. Gardiner and her amazing team at Bodywise. I have had multiple injuries in the past to my back/neck and then recently hurt my back while moving also causing my hands to go numb. She is so thorough, knowledgeable, attentive and caring. She takes the time to get to know you and what you need….and then puts a plan together with you tailored to your needs. Some places I have gone to in the past just treat you like a routine and rush through and seem to just care about the money. Not here!! I have never felt rushed or like they didn’t care. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Gardiner and her amazing team at Bodywise!”

“I have never had such outstanding relational care in an office setting. I feel so welcomed and connected each and every time I visit Bodywise. The experience from Janet and Marley in reception, through the providers to the end of the visit is just wonderful. All staff are beyond exceptional, kind, patient, warm, empathetic and understanding. Dr. Gardiner is the best ever. She takes the time to connect with her patients, listen to their concerns, ask clarifying questions and generates a comprehensive, individualized plan for treatment and recovery while outlining the importance of holistic health and wellness, mind, body and spirit.”

“5 stars is NOT enough for the staff at Bodywise. I have never been into a business in the medical field and felt like they truly were wanting to help people more than making money, until Bodywise. They are amazing. We feel like family everytime we walk through the door. There are other great Chiropractic & Massage offices in town, but after going to Bodywise I have no reason to leave their office. My treatment actually works, and lasts. Best adjustments and massages around. They really do go above and beyond for their patients.”
