Frequently Asked Questions about Auto Injury in Phoenix AZ

Yes. Even if you’ve already seen a medical doctor, chiropractic care can help restore alignment, reduce pain, and support natural healing after an accident. At NuWave Wellness in Phoenix AZ, Dr. Juan Alvarez D.C. provides safe, drug-free care to relieve pain and prevent long-term complications.

Absolutely. Even low-speed collisions can cause hidden injuries such as whiplash, spinal misalignments, or soft tissue damage. Pain and stiffness may not show up for days or weeks. Getting evaluated quickly can prevent long-term issues and help you recover faster.

Whiplash occurs when the head and neck are suddenly forced forward and back, straining muscles, ligaments, and joints. Common symptoms include neck pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, headaches, dizziness, migraines, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, and trouble sleeping. If you notice these signs after a collision, chiropractic care can help.

Chiropractic adjustments restore alignment to the spine, reduce pressure on nerves and discs, and allow soft tissues to heal properly. This reduces pain, stiffness, and inflammation while improving mobility. Treatment may also include gentle exercises and stretches to strengthen muscles and restore range of motion.

It’s best to seek care as soon as possible, even if you don’t feel immediate pain. Early evaluation can detect hidden injuries and begin treatment before they worsen. At NuWave Wellness, walk-ins are welcome, and we also offer same-day and next-day appointments.
