We’re located at the interchange of two of the longest interstate highways in America, so it’s no surprise that people are frequently looking for car accident chiropractors in Knoxville!
Knox County ranks third in Tennessee for car accidents, with nearly 12,000 crashes reported in the past decade. Traffic congestion and accident totals have continued to rise over the past several decades.
According to the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, the average driver experiences an accident every 17.9 years That’s roughly one every other decade or around four in a lifetime. While most of us will be fortunate enough to never sustain life-threatening injuries from a crash, many people will still end up in pain.
“Slow” Crashes Don’t Have “Small” Impacts
Crashes at slower speeds (<20mph) tend to be dismissed as “fender benders.” In other words, “property damage only.” But what about the unseen injuries suffered by the people involved in the accident?
Just because someone may not have a life-threatening injury requiring ambulance transportation does not mean that they’re good to go. But, if the impact is strong enough to deform the metal, just think of what it can do to your muscle and soft tissue!
At just 20mph (wearing a seatbelt), a crash can make a 200lb person feel like they’ve been hit with a mass of 4000lbs! That’s like getting run over by a large adult rhino! Ditched the seatbelt because you’re “only” going 20mph? Make that 4-5 rhinoweights of force! Ouch!
Even accidents as slow as 5mph can cause neck injuries, even if no body damage occurs to the car!
More than Chiropractic — Comprehensive Care
The benefits of chiropractic care after a car accident are well-documented, but we also offer far more than a typical chiropractic practice!
In addition to chiropractic, our model of comprehensive care includes physical therapy, podiatry and regenerative and functional medicine. We work together as a multi-specialty team of providers to make sure you heal strong, flexible and healthy!
We Get to the Root of the Problem
Rather than just treat symptoms, we use the latest diagnostic tools and decades of experience to find and fix the cause of your pain. Our treatments can give you quick relief from your pain, but we also believe proper structural healing is critical to keep more problems from developing down the road.
Even if another medical practitioner has told you that you’ve reached maximum improvement, we’ll be happy to take a fresh look. Often, we are able to find additional options to continue the healing process.
