Specialties
Dr. Meg Spicer specializes in auto accident injuries with a comprehensive examination to assess the damage to your body. Some car accident injuries are easy to identify, but other injuries may be less apparent. Unfortunately, people can have injuries that don't resolve with time leading to further complications later in life. Some of the most common car accident injuries that can be treated with chiropractic care include whiplash, damaged muscles and ligaments, and back pain. The impact from a collision can also cause mid-back and low back muscle sprains, and sometimes more serious back injuries. The force from the accident can cause damage to the disc or bones. Some people feel pain immediately following the accident, and others have a delayed response, as it can take time for the inflammatory reaction to intensify. Dr. Spicer can adjust the spine, taking pressure off of the joints and nerve to reduce the inflammation and restore motion, which helps to reduce the pain. She will evaluate your condition and create a treatment plan to help your body heal so you won't have recurring pain from the injury in the future.
