Auto Accident Chiropractic Care in Tyrone, PA

Even a small fender-bender can leave your body in pain for weeks — or even months. You might feel “fine” right after the crash, only to wake up the next morning with neck stiffness, headaches, or sharp back pain that wasn’t there before.

At Casteel Chiropractic of Tyrone, we specialize in helping people recover from auto accidents — from minor collisions to major crashes. Our goal is simple: to help you heal quickly, safely, and naturally without relying on pain pills or invasive treatments.

Why Auto Accidents Cause Pain (Even When They’re “Minor”)

When your car is hit, your body moves faster than it’s built to handle. That sudden jolt can stretch and strain muscles, ligaments, and the soft tissue around your spine.

In many cases, the pain doesn’t start right away — it can take hours, days, or even weeks before symptoms appear.

Common Auto Accident Injuries Include:

Whiplash

Neck and shoulder pain

Lower back pain

Pinched nerves

Muscle stiffness and soreness

Headaches or migraines

Numbness or tingling in arms or legs

These injuries may seem small at first, but when left untreated, they can turn into long-term problems like chronic pain, loss of movement, or ongoing nerve irritation.

How Chiropractic Care Helps After a Car Accident

Chiropractic care targets the root cause of your pain — not just the symptoms.
Instead of masking pain with medication, Dr. Gavan Casteel focuses on correcting the misalignments, inflammation, and nerve pressure caused by your accident.

Our process is simple, safe, and focused on getting you back to your normal life as soon as possible.

Your Recovery Process:

Full Evaluation & X-Rays
We’ll start by identifying exactly where the damage is — whether it’s a misalignment, muscle strain, or soft tissue injury.

Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments
These targeted adjustments help realign your spine, reduce nerve pressure, and promote faster healing — without pain or forceful movements.

Personalized Recovery Plan
Every body is different. Your plan is designed around your injuries, your goals, and your schedule.

Ongoing Support & Education
We’ll teach you simple stretches, posture tips, and at-home movements to keep your body healing even after you leave the office.

Why See a Chiropractor After an Accident — Even If You Feel Fine

Many auto accident injuries don’t show up right away. Whiplash, for example, can take 24–48 hours before stiffness or headaches appear.

Ignoring early signs can lead to long-term issues that are harder to fix later.

Chiropractic care helps:

Reduce pain and inflammation naturally

Restore mobility and flexibility

Prevent scar tissue buildup

Speed up recovery and healing

Support the spine and nervous system after trauma

Even if you’ve already seen your doctor or ER, chiropractic care is the next step to help your body fully recover.
