Car Crash Effects on Your Body
When you’re in an auto accident, even a minor one, the force of the impact is absorbed by your body. Your car is designed to withstand a crash with minimal deformation, so the amount of damage to your car is not a good indicator of how much damage your body sustained. Whiplash is a common car accident injury, but injuries can be anywhere in your body.
Many patients come to French Broad Chiropractic and say they feel fine. What we find is that often patients are stuck in the fight-or-flight response triggered by the accident, and with this adrenaline overload they have not yet started to feel the effects of their injuries. Chiropractic care helps to get you out of the fight-or-flight mode and into the parasympathetic state, so your body can start to heal.
By addressing the physical trauma of your injury, we can help restore the connection between your brain and body, so you can begin to process the emotional trauma. If we don’t address the injury soon after the accident, your body may create adaptations around the injury to protect the area. Over time, these suboptimal patterns will affect your spine, and you may experience pain in areas that don’t seem related to the original injury.
Common Personal Injury Issues
Joints are often the “weak link” and we see patients for injuries to the knees, hips, ankles, shoulders and wrists. We work with many feet issues for lack of stability. And neck and low back pain are often associated with repetitive use.

This is Daren
Daren was one of my first auto accident patients I had the privilege of being a provider for. When Daren first came in to see me he was in a motorized wheel chair that he had been bound to for many years on top of the injuries he sustained from a motor vehicle accident...
Him and his family relied on medical ride shares to get him to/from places because of his condition. When one day, Daren was a passenger of rideshare en route to a routine appointment and suddenly they were t-boned! Already wheelchair bound, now he had a host of other issues and pain from the whiplash and accident.
His attorney reccomended him to us to help with the pain and injuries sustained from the accident. When Dr. Taylor first met Daren, he was bound to his wheelchair and in so much pain we had to do his x-rays and exams seated within the wheelchair.
THE MIRACLE.
Through care Daren's pain diminished significantly, he begin to get mobility and strength back in his limbs. DAREN BEGAN TO STAND and WALK AGAIN, regaining balance and coordination! Mind you he still needed a walker, but his family didn't need to pay the extra money for medical rideshares to transport him anymore and they could utilize their own vehicles. More importantly Daren could walk and move again and was getting his life back!
It sucks to get hit by a car... but this car accident and personal injury case was the blessing that got Daren the care he needed!
