Auto Injury Chiropractic in Sturgis
Even a “minor” fender bender can leave you with neck pain, headaches, back pain, or a sense that your body just is not right. Our team at Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture sees auto injuries every week and understands the stress that comes with them. Dr. Al Gunderson and Dr. Jerrid Goebel provide patient-centered, evidence-informed care focused on clear answers and practical relief. We accept most insurance plans, work with motor vehicle accident claims, and offer same-day and walk-in appointments so you can be seen quickly.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Auto Injury Recovery
After a car accident, sudden forces on your neck and back can strain muscles, ligaments, and joints, even when X‑rays look normal. Chiropractic care focuses on gently restoring motion to those areas so they can heal. Our goals are to reduce stiff, painful scar tissue, improve how you move, and calm down pain and inflammation. During your first visit, we complete a focused exam, then explain what is wrong, what care we recommend, and how long recovery may take.
Care Options After an Auto Accident
Your care plan is tailored to your injury, but it may include some of these options.
- Laser therapy: infrared light that reduces inflammation and supports tissue repair.
- Shockwave therapy: sound waves that encourage healing in stubborn, painful areas.
- Soft tissue therapy and muscle stimulation: hands-on work and gentle currents to ease tight, painful areas.
- Chiropractic adjustments plus home exercises: restore joint motion and build strength between visits.
We typically start with very gentle, passive care and then increase intensity as your body improves. In many auto injury cases, advanced options like laser or shockwave therapy can also be covered through your motor vehicle claim.
