Get the Care You Need After a Car Accident
​
Even a minor car accident can leave lasting effects on your body. Whiplash, back pain, headaches, or stiffness may not always show up right away but can become worse if left untreated. At Spinal Health Group in Springfield, Dr. Josh Alvarado provides gentle, effective care to help patients recover from car accident injuries and get back to living without pain.
​
Why Chiropractic Care After a Car Accident Matters
​
When your body experiences the sudden force of a car accident, the spine and soft tissues often absorb the impact. This can cause misalignments, muscle injuries, and irritation of the nervous system. Without proper care, these injuries can lead to chronic pain and long-term mobility issues.
​
Chiropractic care focuses on correcting these issues at the source by restoring balance and movement to the spine and supporting natural healing.
​
