Has a recent collision left you with a “heavy” head, a stiff neck, or sharp pains that won’t go away? Neck pain after an accident in Greensboro, NC, is one of the most common reasons patients visit Myers Chiropractic. While many people try to “wait it out,” untreated cervical trauma can lead to long-term mobility issues and chronic headaches.
Under the leadership of Dr. Michael Myers, our clinic specializes in identifying the structural cause of post-accident neck pain. With over 25 years of experience serving the Triad, we provide the precise, gentle care needed to realign your spine and restore your quality of life.
The human neck is a delicate structure composed of seven small vertebrae, intricate ligaments, and sensitive nerves. During a car accident, even at speeds as low as 5 mph, the force of impact can cause the head to whip violently. This sudden movement often results in:
This occurs when the vertebrae in your neck are forced out of their natural alignment. These misalignments can “pinch” or irritate the nerves that travel from your brain to the rest of your body, causing pain that radiates into the shoulders, arms, or hands.
The ligaments that act as the “cables” holding your neck together can be stretched or torn. Unlike muscles, ligaments have poor blood supply, meaning they heal slowly and often require specialized chiropractic intervention to ensure they don’t heal in a weakened, “loose” state.
The jarring motion of a crash can cause the shock-absorbing discs between your vertebrae to bulge or herniate. This often leads to sharp, localized pain or a “pins and needles” sensation.
Neck pain after an accident rarely stays isolated to the neck. If you are experiencing any of the following, your cervical spine likely needs immediate attention:
At our Greensboro facility, we don’t just treat your symptoms; we treat the source. Our goal is to move you through the three phases of care: Relief, Correction, and Wellness.
We begin with a 60–90 minute comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Myers takes the time to listen to your story and the specifics of your accident. We utilize on-site digital X-rays to assess the “curvature” of your neck. If you have lost the natural C-curve (lordosis) in your neck due to the accident, it can lead to premature arthritis if not corrected early.
Dr. Myers graduated from Life Chiropractic University in 1997 and has spent his career refining a “patient-first” philosophy. He believes that the body has an incredible ability to heal itself once the interference from the spinal misalignment is removed. In our family-oriented office, you aren’t a “file number”; you are a member of our community who deserves to live pain-free.
