Car Accident Chiropractic Care in Powell, OH

Even minor car accidents can place serious stress on the body. Sudden impact often causes the spine, joints, and muscles to shift out of alignment — leading to pain, stiffness, headaches, and long-term issues if not properly addressed. Whiplash injuries have been documented at speeds as slow as 5-10mph. About 50% of patients report neck pain one year after untreated injuries from accidents.

At Be Aligned Health in Powell, OH, we help patients recover naturally after auto accidents by restoring alignment, improving movement, and supporting the body’s healing process — not just masking symptoms.

If you’ve been in a car accident, early care can make a major difference in your recovery.

Living with Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is one of the most common physical ailments experienced by people of all ages. It can be caused by many different factors, such as muscle strain, an injury or trauma to the spine, overuse or repetitive activities, poor posture, obesity, diseases such as osteoporosis or arthritis, herniated discs, and other underlying medical conditions.

Lower back pain can range in severity from bothersome to completely debilitating. Living with lower back pain can be difficult and frustrating but there are many ways to cope.

How Car Accidents Affect the Body

During a collision, the body absorbs force faster than muscles can react. This often leads to:

  • Spinal and joint misalignment
  • Muscle strain and tension
  • Whiplash-type injuries
  • Nerve irritation
  • Reduced mobility and stiffness
  • Inflammation and soft tissue stress



Symptoms may appear immediately — or days later. Without proper care, these hidden injuries can turn into chronic pain and movement problems.

Living with Lower Back Pain

Our chiropractors use a variety of techniques to evaluate and treat lower back pain, including postural analysis, spinal manipulation, soft tissue massage, and therapeutic exercise. During an initial assessment, a friendly member of our team will take a complete medical history and perform a physical exam in order to accurately diagnose the source of your pain. Depending on the results of your evaluation, your chiropractor may suggest a combination of treatments to best address your individual needs.

Most people who seek chiropractic care for lower back pain experience relief within just a few visits. However, the length and frequency of treatment will vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's response to treatment.

Our Approach to Auto Accident Recovery

At Be Aligned Health, we focus on restoring proper function and helping the body heal fully after trauma.

Core Chiropractic

Corrective Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine and joints, reduce nerve stress, and restore healthy movement — which is essential for healing after an accident.

This helps decrease pain, improve mobility, realign natural posture, and prevent long-term complications.

Movement & Mobility Support

Recovery isn’t just about alignment — it’s about restoring movement. We support flexibility, strength, and joint stability through simple mobility strategies that keep your body resilient and pain-free. This helps prevent injuries from becoming chronic issues.

Shockwave Therapy for Injury Healing

Shockwave therapy supports tissue repair and circulation, helping reduce inflammation and speed healing in muscles, tendons, and joints affected by impact trauma.

It’s especially helpful for lingering pain and stiffness after accidents.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Deceleration injuries can often cause damage to spinal discs, leading to pain, radiating pain, or numbness/tingling in the extremities. Non-surgical spinal decompression helps to gently traction and decompress the spine - increasing recovery rate and helping support long-term disc health.

Schedule a Consultation

  • Should I see a chiropractor after a minor car accident?

    The number of treatments and use of different shockwave instruments depends on the severity, chronicity and location(s) of the condition(s). 


    Normally four to twelve treatments are necessary at weekly or biweekly intervals; there is a small possibility that additional treatments may be necessary if your condition is very chronic and/or you have severely restricted joint range of motion (ie. Frozen shoulder). 


    Should you not respond during this time, your case will be reviewed with the doctor to determine an appropriate referral. Success rates with shockwave are unparalleled (over 80-90% of patients see long term improvement). 


  • How soon should I start chiropractic care after an accident?

    As soon as possible. Starting care early helps reduce inflammation, restore alignment, and support faster healing.


  • Can chiropractic care help with whiplash?

    Yes. Chiropractic care is commonly used to treat whiplash by improving alignment, reducing muscle tension, and restoring proper movement in the neck and spine.

  • Will chiropractic care help with stiffness and soreness?

    Absolutely. Adjustments and mobility support help reduce stiffness, improve circulation, and restore flexibility after injury.

  • How long does accident recovery usually take?

    While it’s commonly used for pain and injuries, shockwave therapy can also support tissue health, reduce chronic tightness, and improve recovery.


  • Do I need a referral after a car accident?

    No referral is needed. You can schedule directly or walk in for care.
