Auto Injury Treatment in Fort Mill, SC

Car accidents can be one of the most frightening and confusing experiences. Amidst the concerns about vehicle damage and insurance coverage, many people overlook the most crucial aspect—their health. Seeking prompt and appropriate medical care is vital for a full recovery. At Foundations Chiropractic, we specialize in providing comprehensive chiropractic care for auto injury treatment in Fort Mill, ensuring that car accident victims receive the best possible care to prevent long-term complications.

Common Injuries After a Car Accident

Many individuals believe that only high-speed collisions cause significant injuries, or that injuries are always immediately noticeable. This misconception often leads to neglected injuries, resulting in chronic pain and other health issues. Various factors, such as the placement of the car’s headrest, the size of the vehicles involved, and the speed at impact, contribute to the type and severity of injuries sustained. Even a car traveling at just 5 mph can cause whiplash, a common and often underdiagnosed injury.

Immediate and Delayed Symptoms

Injuries like fractures, cuts, concussions, and dislocations are usually apparent right after the accident. However, damage to muscles, blood vessels, and nerves may not manifest until months or even years later. These delayed symptoms can lead to significant health issues if not addressed promptly. Insurance companies may not cover treatments for injuries that are not immediately diagnosed, emphasizing the importance of a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional experienced in auto injuries.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers specializing in the musculoskeletal system. They play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating auto injuries, particularly those involving the spine. Whiplash is one of the most common injuries from car accidents, causing strain on the spine, muscles, ligaments, and nerves of the neck and back. Untreated whiplash can lead to chronic pain, headaches, and early degeneration of spinal vertebrae.

Comprehensive Treatment Approach

At Foundations Chiropractic, we offer a holistic approach to auto injury treatment, including:

Chiropractic Adjustments: Realigning the spine to alleviate pain and restore mobility.
Physical Therapy: Both active and passive therapies to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
Exercise Programs: Customized exercises to support recovery and prevent future injuries.
Nutritional Counseling: Dietary recommendations to support healing and overall health.

Our individualized care plans are designed to address each patient's unique needs, promoting a faster and more complete recovery.

The Importance of Immediate Care

Seeking chiropractic care immediately after a car accident can significantly impact your recovery and long-term health. Delaying treatment can result in chronic pain and other complications that could have been prevented with timely intervention. At Foundations Chiropractic, our experienced team is dedicated to helping you recover fully and avoid the long-term consequences of auto injuries.

What Patients Say About Foundations Chiropractic

I've been seeing Dr. Swalley for two years now, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his care. I first saw him while I was pregnant with my son, and he has been a vital part of our lives ever since. He even adjusted my son as a newborn and continues to treat him now as a toddler. Dr. Swalley truly listens, takes his time, and has an incredibly kind approach. I couldn't recommend him more highly!

Cecilia S.

I drive from Spartanburg, SC. That is about a 1.5 hour drive. That alone should sum it up. However the staff is so nice and helpful and the office is super clean. I never have to wait, they are very quick getting me back into a room. He practices the Gonstead technique which is very precise and the adjustments hold longer in my opinion. Waiting room is comfortable and open with lots of windows and there is also complimentary drinks. I highly recommend Dr. Swalley.

Bridget Kirkland

I've seen Dr. Swalley for almost 10 years now. Very recently, I experienced a nerve issue that some people have been recommended surgery for. I got with him right away and we worked out a plan to correct it. I can't thank him enough for what he's done to get me back to being pain free. He's the best!

Brandon Hall

Dr. Swalley has helped me and my family with multiple issues throughout the years to help us live a more comfortable life without pain. I wish I had my before and after xrays to share to show how he has corrected my back and neck. I recommend giving Dr. Swalley a chance to help you have a more comfortable life.
