We use physical and neurological examinations to look for spine and joint injuries, muscle weakness, brain trauma or posture misalignments. Sometimes, diagnostics may include MRIs or X-rays.

This equipment stabilizes injured muscles and joints, allowing the body to heal and preventing further injury. It’s comfortable and easy to wear under clothing.
At Complete Care, our priority is to provide you with essential injury care after a traumatic event. After an auto or work-related accident, we understand that your options for treatment vary and may depend on the type of injuries you’ve experienced. Chiropractic care is often a good place to start because it addresses various disorders affecting the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. It is a drug-free, hands-on approach to your care that may allow you to avoid surgery or other more invasive treatments. Chiropractors can promote faster healing than you would experience letting an injury heal on its own. Chiropractic can also provide immediate relief and enhanced energy and mobility, though it may take several sessions to fully restore function.
We have a team of personal injury chiropractors skilled in spinal manipulation and adjustment. In addition to using their diagnostic skills to identify the source of your pain and provide chiropractic adjustments, they can also offer therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises to strengthen and restore motion.
Our chiropractic procedures are highly controlled and adapted to each patient’s specific needs. As such, they rarely cause pain or discomfort, and most patients notice an improvement in both pain levels, mobility, and mood immediately following their adjustment. Some primary benefits of chiropractic care include:
Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) care for patients of all ages, with a variety of health conditions. Chiropractors are especially well known for their expertise in caring for patients with back pain, neck pain, and headaches for their highly skilled manipulations or chiropractic adjustments.
They also care for patients with a wide range of injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, involving the muscles, ligaments, and joints. These painful conditions often involve or impact the nervous system, which can cause referred pain and dysfunction distant to the region of injury.
The benefits of chiropractic care extend to general health issues, as well, since our body structure affects our overall function. Chiropractors counsel patients on injuries, nutrition, exercise, healthy habits, and occupational and lifestyle modification.
Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small.
Doctors of chiropractic are well trained professionals who provide patients with safe, effective care for a variety of common conditions. Their extensive education has prepared them to identify patients who have special risk factors and to get those patients the most appropriate care, even if that requires referral to a medical specialist.
Many patients feel immediate relief following chiropractic treatment, but some may experience mild soreness, stiffness or aching, just as they do after some forms of exercise. Current research shows that minor discomfort or soreness following spinal manipulation typically fades within 24 hours.
A referral is not needed to see a Chiropractor at Complete Care after you have experienced a car accident.
Chiropractic care is appropriate for all ages and Complete Care provides pediatric care at its Injury Care & Rehab locations.
The hands-on nature of the chiropractic treatment is essentially what requires patients to visit the chiropractor a number of times. To be treated by a chiropractor, a patient needs to be in his or her office.
In contrast, a course of treatment from medical doctors often involves a pre-established plan that is conducted at home (i.e. taking a course of antibiotics once a day for a couple of weeks). A chiropractor may provide acute, chronic, and/or preventive care thus making a certain number of visits sometimes necessary. Your doctor will tell you the extent of treatment recommended and how long you can expect it to last.
Chiropractic adjustment or manipulation is a manual procedure that utilizes the highly refined skills developed during the doctor of chiropractic’s intensive years of chiropractic education. The chiropractic physician typically uses his or her hands–or an instrument–to manipulate the joints of the body, particularly the spine, in order to restore or enhance joint function. This often helps resolve joint inflammation and reduces the patient’s pain.
Chiropractic manipulation is a highly controlled procedure that rarely causes discomfort. The chiropractor adapts the procedure to meet the specific needs of each patient. Patients often note positive changes in their symptoms immediately following treatment.
Adjustment (or manipulation) of a joint may result in the release of a gas bubble between the joints, which makes a popping sound. The same thing occurs when you “crack” your knuckles. The noise is caused by the change of pressure within the joint, which results in gas bubbles being released. There is usually no, or minimal, discomfort involved.
One of the best ways to locate a doctor of chiropractic (DC) near you by using Find a Doctor. You can also select a DC is by getting a referral from a friend, family member, colleague, or another health care provider.
Chiropractors are being recognized to admit and treat patients in hospitals and to use outpatient clinical facilities (such as labs, x-rays, etc.) for their non-hospitalized patients. Hospital privileges were first granted in 1983.
Doctors of chiropractic care educated as primary contact health care providers, with an emphasis on diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the musculoskeletal system (the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the spine and extremities) and the nerves that supply them. Educational requirements for doctors of chiropractic are among the most stringent of any of the health care professions. The typical applicant for chiropractic college has already acquired nearly four years of pre-medical undergraduate college education, including courses in biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, psychology, and related lab work. Once accepted into an accredited chiropractic college, the requirements become even more demanding — four to five academic years of professional study are the standard. Doctors of chiropractic are educated in orthopedics, neurology, physiology, human anatomy, clinical diagnosis including laboratory procedures, diagnostic imaging, exercise, nutrition rehabilitation, and more. Because chiropractic care includes highly skilled manipulation/adjusting techniques, a significant portion of time is spent in clinical technique training to master these important manipulative procedures. In total, the chiropractic college curriculum includes a minimum of 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience. The course of study is approved by an accrediting agency that is fully recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
