Auto Accident Chiropractic in Prince Frederick
After a car crash, pain and stiffness can show up hours or days later. Even a fender bender may stretch ligaments, irritate nerves, and limit your motion—there’s no such thing as a low-speed injury. At Collins Chiropractic Center, Dr. Daniel Collins brings over 30 years of experience, fast access, and practical care to help you heal.
What a Crash Does to Your Body—and How We Treat It
Whiplike forces can sprain the ligaments that stabilize your spine, much like a rolled ankle. These tissues receive limited blood flow, so mild injuries often take at least six weeks to heal. Without treatment, the body may lay down disorganized scar tissue that stiffens joints and steals range of motion over time.
Dr. Collins uses tailored chiropractic adjustments to restore motion and calm irritation. We may add cold laser therapy, which reduces inflammation, boosts blood flow, and energizes cells to accelerate healing; auto insurers cover this for accident claims. For shoulder, hip, or knee injuries, shockwave may help non-spinal joints.
Symptoms and Problems We Commonly Address
Auto injuries are more than “just whiplash.” If you’re noticing any of the following, we can help:
- Neck, mid-back, or low back pain and stiffness
- Headaches and loss of range of motion
- Radiating pain, tingling, or numbness in arms or legs
- Muscle spasm or deep, bruise-like soreness around the spine
- Shoulder, hip, or knee sprains from seatbelts or bracing
- Trouble sleeping or sitting due to pain
Your Visit and the Insurance Process
Plan for about an hour on your first visit because accident cases are more complex. Most patients are treated the same day; gentle, no-pop options are available, and imaging is ordered only when necessary. Please bring your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) details: claim number, policy number, and your adjuster’s name, address, and phone.
We submit claims directly to your auto insurer and work smoothly with attorneys. You’ll receive your intake forms by email. Our office has ample free parking, and we schedule by appointment only—no walk-ins.
