Auto Accident Chiropractic in Oak Creek
The most common injuries associated with motor vehicle accidents are sprains and strains of the spinal muscles and ligaments, with attendant vertebral misalignment. It is only natural, therefore, that chiropractic care is the treatment of choice.

What to Do Following a Car Crash
Schedule an appointment to see us as soon as possible. It is highly common to feel symptom-free following an accident, but it is of vital importance that you receive an appropriate evaluation to document your injuries and avoid chronic problems down the road.
Symptoms sometimes don’t appear for weeks or months later, and by that time it may be impossible to receive monetary compensation from your insurance company for future medical bills. The wisest course of action is to be proactive: protect yourself, your health and your right to receive financial compensation from your motor vehicle accident.
Common Injuries and Symptoms
Vehicular accidents can result in a multitude of complex injury and diverse symptoms. Here are some of the most common problems we witness in our office:
- Back pain
- Balance problems and dizziness
- Concussion

Injury Tolerance
There are many factors that will determine your physical reaction to a car crash. For this reason, it is vital to be checked by one of the auto accident specialists at Oak Creek Relief & Wellness.
Common factors are the age, gender, size and strength of the victim; the height of the headrest; the nature and speed of the collision; awareness of the impending crash; and the speed and size of each vehicle at impact.
Particularly in the presence of pre-existing spinal conditions, your tolerance for new injury and future recovery may be compromised by not seeking immediate chiropractic attention.
Specific treatment in our chiropractic care center is the most effective way to manage symptoms and hasten recovery from vehicular trauma.

Auto Accident Survivor
On October 15, 2010 I was involved in a multi-vehicle accident on the interstate that resulted in the front and rear of my car being crushed. Due to the multiple hits to the front and rear of my vehicle, I started having pain the included throbbing in my mid and lower back. The discomfort would often occur during normal daily activities. I have had back pain before, but this was different. This pain and throbbing started a few hours after the accident and became noticeable and bothersome during daily activities in the following week.
Before coming to Oak Creek Relief & Wellness, I received no other treatment, other than physical exam immediately following the accident. I was prescribed prescription strength Advil and more at the ER, however, never filled them. For previous back discomfort, I had been prescribed a one month supply of a muscle relaxer that I used on a few occasions. I did not notice any benefit from taking these pills.
I believe that the doctors and staff at Oak Creek Relief & Wellness are committed to helping their patients in a variety of ways in addition to chiropractic adjustments. I am very impressed with all the services and products they offer to treat the whole body. There is a range of rehabilitation and therapy treatments available. I was also provided with a folder and instructional guides on the therapy exercises so I could continue my rehab at home. Oak Creek Relief & Wellness offers all the equipment you need to set up an at home rehab kit. The doctors also have seminars on health, nutrition, etc. I have benefited by asking my doctor about nutrition when I wanted to make healthy eating lifestyle changes. There is also a gym, fitness classes, supplements, orthotics and much more available.
I was very happy that at my first adjustment, a short presentation was given beforehand. The information helped my understand the benefits and ways chiropractic care treats the whole body. It also prepared me for what to expect during an adjustment, since it was a new experience to me. The chiropractic adjustments and therapy exercises have certainly decreased the comfort I was experiencing which has improved by daily living.
I am healthy, moderately active person and normal weight. However, I have wanted to eat healthier to reduce my risk of heart disease, cancer, inflammatory conditions, etc. I told Dr. Lisa about my desire to benefit from eating better and she has provided me with information and guidance. I attended a presentation recommended and give by my doctor and learned about toxins in the body, nutrition and therapies Oak Creek Relief & Wellness offers. I am so impressed with how my doctor has gone above and beyond to bring the chiropractic care full circle, providing care for the whole body. I think this type of benefit with improve my life for years to come!
As someone new to chiropractic care after my accident, I would say to try this path of treatment first. You may need to give it some time, but it will provide relief that pills may only mask and cause you to rely on instead of treating the real issues. You may find that it opens doors to other benefits, too if you are willing to take advantage of them. In my experience, Oak Creek Relief & Wellness chiropractic care is more than adjusting your spine, it promotes whole body wellness.
