Sore after a car accident?
A car accident, even a minor bump, can jolt your neck and back. Symptoms can appear straight away or creep in days later. We assess you thoroughly and, if X-rays are clinically required, take them on site.
Common signs we see
- Neck pain or stiffness after an accident or fall
- Headaches that started after the incident
- Upper back, shoulder or lower back pain
- Reduced movement when turning your head
Looking beyond the symptom
A sudden jolt can strain the muscles, ligaments and joints of the neck and spine. How your body adapts in the weeks afterwards matters.
Getting assessed early helps rule out anything that needs medical attention and gives you a clear plan for recovery.
We measure first, then build your plan
Every new patient starts with a comprehensive assessment, followed by a report of findings where we explain exactly what we found and the path forward.

Should I see a doctor first?
