Car Accident Chiropractic
Care in
Rhode Island
Car accidents often injure the neck, spine, and nerves. Even minor crashes can cause pain and stiffness that doesn't appear until hours or days later.
Cityside Chiropractic evaluates and treats patients who have been injured in car accidents throughout Providence, Cranston, and surrounding Rhode Island communities. We focus on finding the source of injury, providing effective treatment, and creating detailed documentation for personal injury cases.
Common Car Accident Injuries We Evaluate
Motor vehicle collisions can cause a range of musculoskeletal and neurological injuries, including:
​
-
Whiplash injuries affecting the ligaments and joints of the cervical spine
-
Cervical spinal instability and ligament laxity
-
Post-concussion symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, and visual disturbances
-
Muscle and soft tissue injuries of the neck, shoulders, and upper back
-
Radiculopathy and nerve-related symptoms following spinal injury

Chronic neck or back pain developing after a motor vehicle collision
Many patients come to us when neck pain, stiffness, or headaches start affecting their daily life. Getting evaluated early helps guide treatment and creates an accurate record of your injuries.
Whiplash and Spinal Injuries After Car Accidents

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries following a motor vehicle collision. It happens when a sudden jolt forces the neck forward and back, straining the spine, ligaments, and muscles. Symptoms may begin within hours of the collision or develop over the following days.
