Have you been in a car accident? Auto collisions happen every day. Not only are they scary, but they can cause severe injuries. If you’re in a car accident, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you don’t think you’re injured, it’s best to get checked out right away.
Not all injuries result in pain right away. Sometimes it’s obvious that you are hurt, while other times, pain can manifest over time and come out several weeks later. Our chiropractic team is here to evaluate you after your accident and make sure we stay on top of any developing issues. It’s important to get ahead of your injuries rather you realize they are there, or not. Waiting can cause long-term issues for your body.
Injury Treatment
If you’re feeling the impacts of a car accident, you’ll want to seek professional attention soon to get to the root cause of the problem.
Whiplash is the primary injury people deal with from accidents. Chiropractic care can help you heal faster and feel great again.
Long Term Prevention
Even without obvious pain or discomfort, chiropractic care will ensure no problems arise later down the road from your accident.
During a crash, the car doesn’t absorb the full shock of the crash, the occupants do. When your body is jerked around in response, it’s very likely to experience trauma and injury internally.
The funny thing about pain is the way it can show up when you least expect it. Even if you feel fine immediately after a car accident, it’s always a good idea to get checked out by a medical practitioner. If you’ve been in an accident, it’s recommended to see a Chiropractor to evaluate any potential underlying injuries.
Top Chiropractic Care for Auto Injuries in Somerset
If you do have injuries, chiropractic care can help. Chiropractors are experts in treating auto accident injuries. They can help you regain your mobility and get back to your everyday life. In many cases, chiropractic care can even help reduce the amount of time you need to recover.
Car crashes rattle your body, and your spine, which can cause immediate pain or discomfort that arises weeks later. It’s important to not go unchecked. The longer you let your injuries go, the more problematic it will become later. It’s recommended to see a Chiropractor as soon as possible after a car accident.
Common Injuries from a Car Accident
Auto accidents are extremely dangerous and even fatal. But even small fender benders can cause a significant impact on your body without you knowing.
Here are common injuries that result from car crashes:
Whiplash
This is the most common injury from car accidents. Whiplash is caused when your head snaps forward and then back again, oftentimes faster than your neck can move. This can cause damage to the tendons, muscles, and ligaments in your neck. Symptoms of whiplash include pain in the neck, headaches, dizziness, and blurred vision.
Back injuries
Car accidents can cause back injuries such as a herniated disk or spinal cord compression. These injuries can be extremely painful and may require surgery.
Brain injuries
Brain injuries are another serious injury that can occur from a car accident. They can range from minor concussions to more serious Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). Symptoms of a brain injury include confusion, headaches, blurred vision, and dizziness.
Fractures & Broken Bones
Broken bones are another common injury from car accidents. A broken bone can take a long time to heal, and in some cases, may never fully heal.
If you’ve been in a car accident, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you don’t think you’re injured, it’s best to get checked out right away.
How do Chiropractors Treat Auto Injuries?
Our chiropractic team in Somerset evaluates you for possible injuries that you may not even feel yet. We’ll do a full review of your spinal column, vertebrae, neck, and extremities to ensure that nothing is misaligned. It’s very common to find misalignments after auto accidents.
Based on your exam, we’ll perform adjustments to get you back into alignment so your body can heal properly. We also may provide you with some at-home exercises or stretches to help improve mobility and reduce pain.
In many cases, chiropractic care can help reduce the amount of time you need to recover from your car accident. It’s important to get ahead of your injuries, rather than waiting until they become a problem.

I have been going to Dr. Goodpaster for about 7 months for wellness adjustments with the activator technique. I appreciate that he offers both traditional adjustments as well as the activator. I always feel better after my adjustment & I highly recommend him. His receptionist is also great. They always accommodate my request for an appointment, even on short notice. 10/10.
Since coming to Proactive Spine Care I have been having less pain in my legs and less headaches. I have been sleeping much better. He is so nice and really cares about your problems. I recommend him if you are having pain issues.
Back in November, I was having a lot of back pain. It was extremely hard to sit up to drive a car or to sit in the passenger seat. I went to proactive spinal care. Dr. Goodpaster suggested that I do 12 sessions of decompression. It took those 12 sessions to help my back. I am now able to drive freely and to sit in the passenger seat and walk around my home and other places out in public without pain, I greatly appreciate his expertise in the care for the spine. I highly recommend it going to his office.

Dr. Brandon Goodpastor is an excellent chiropractor, he has addressed every single issue that I am currently experiencing and he is helping me navigate my pain and suffering, I would highly recommend his services! The staff is also very helpful and kind 😊
A friend recommended proactive spine care and I am very impressed. I was down on my back and in so much pain when arriving. The staff is so accommodating and kind. We built a treatment plan and i wouldn't recommend anywhere else! If I could give 10 stars I would!
Best chiropractor l've ever been to!!! Extremely gentle adjustments and he has been able to adjust an area on my right side that no one else has ever been able to adjust! I'm a hard right side adjustment! More relief after one adjustment than I've ever had in all the adjustments l've had!!!
I went to see Dr. Goodpaster when a disk had slipped out and hit a nerve i have had terrible back pain for a few years I've been to several Dr's. with no relief after one visit it stopped the pain and after a few visits a no longer had the pain in my back that I had dealt with for years having to take pain meds and using a ice pack several times a day I was so amazed all my back pain was gone wish I had went to him sooner.I can't thank him enough for relieving the pain in my back i feel like a new person
I highly recommend Dr. Goodpastor. I have an issue for which I was receiving quarterly injections. Since beginning treatments at ProActive Spine Care over a year ago, I no longer have to have injections.
Dr. Brandon is wonderful. He listens and takes his thing with patients in order to develop a treatment plan based on what you need. 10/10 would recommend.
I came to Dr Brandon Goodpaster for problems with sciatica. He asked all the right questions before having the adjustments.<br>I felt better than I have in two months. I will be going back again this week. I highly recommend Dr Goodpaster to everyone who is having back problems. Well worth the visit. You will be impressed as much as me.
Absolutely Recommend!<br>The team at ProActive Spine Care has been incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout my treatment. I came in with pain and numbness in my right arm caused by a narrowing in my vertebra, and their treatment plan brought fast and effective relief. Brandon took the time to thoroughly explain the issue and the steps to address it, which made me feel confident and informed every step of the way. Lori was also a great help, and the decompression table has made a noticeable difference in my recovery. If you're looking for chiropractic care, do yourself a favor and visit ProActive Spine Care — you won’t regret it!
Recently came across this practice looking for dry needling to help the inflammation and nerve pain I've dealt with in my trap/neck for nearly 6 years now. Our first visit we reviewed my MRI my primary ordered a few months prior, and discussed treatment plans and different things we could try. Lori and Brandon are absolutely wonderful, and I'm so glad I found their practice!! Brandon is very kind and takes the time to answer and questions you may have in terms you'll understand. I felt a HUGE difference within the first 3 sessions. I'm now 7 sessions in and starting decompression therapy (which I'd never even heard of) to help correct some herniated discs. (I thought surgery was going to be my only option!! Hallelujah!) I love that they offer flexible hours and them being open until 6pm is awesome when you work a 9-5!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for chiropractic treatment or alternative treatment options for certain injuries!!
This is the best place to go in town! I had so much tightness in my back & lower back. No other chiropractor that I had gone to was able to pop it & give me any type of relief until I started coming here. My first visit he was able to do what no other chiropractor I visited was able to do. I am so thankful that they take the time to listen to my concerns & help me. Really amazing people. You will not be disappointed like I was so many times while visiting different chiropractors. Give them a call today so you can start feeling better like me. ❤️
After months of no answers from doctors and a misdiagnosis, ProActive spine found out the root cause of my pain! If I had waited the amount of time the doctor wanted me to wait, I would have been in so much more pain. I also visited with an ENT who confirmed the same exact thing ProActive did. You will not be disappointed if you visit this office! Everyone is so nice and the atmosphere is calming. He also does dry needling.
When I started seeing Dr Goodpastor I had an injury in my elbow that was not healing due to a pinched nerve in my neck I was already in Physical therapy and was getting worse with every visit. Each appointment with Dr. Goodpastor I improved by about 25%. We added Dry Needling to help with some muscle issues and that almost completely took my pain away completely( still a work in progress) I've only been going to Proactive Spine care for almost 2 months Dr. Goodpastor and Lori are great! They care about your progress and listen to your concerns, needs and celebrate your progress with you! I highly recommend them.
Highly recommend. Friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Brandon explained everything in terms I understood and made me feel very comfortable. Lori is helpful and cheery. A great experience, I felt better after my first visit!
I highly recommend Dr Goodpastor. He takes great care of my children and myself. Teaching the children the importance of spine care. For myself he cares for my shoulder and neck pain. My level of pain has greatly been reduced and the best range of motion I have had for years.
Dr. Goodpastor and his staff(Lori) are truly wonderful. I was in severe pain and they were able to get me seen on the same day. They were both very welcoming and Dr. Goodpastor is very knowledgeable and explains everything well. 100% recommended!
Absolutely love this place. So easy to deal with, completely stress free process of coming in, getting services (which are amazing btw, you will leave with your back feeling like the years have been erased) and scheduling for the next. Even if you only do 1 visit for an alignment, it's worth it. I tell everyone about it that even SLIGHTLY mentions their back because I just can't recommend it enough.
Dr. Brandon and staff are awesome. Got an appt really quickly, short wait time, I’m 69 with a lot of issues and Dr Brandon addressed them all, I finally found a Chiropractor that I know will help me, Best chiropractor I’ve ever been to,
I could barely walk in to my appointment but once Dr. Goodpaster finished with my adjustment, I felt like a new woman. He clearly explained to me what my xrays showed and what he was doing to correct it. The receptionist was kind and very helpful in making appointment. I highly recommend.
I really appreciate the last minute appointment. Ive been so sore for two weeks straight and driving to the appointment was still painful. However, the Doc is a rockstar and he took care of me! I drove home in no pain. I feel great even now, hours later and Im sure Im finally going to get a good nights rest. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes at the end of the day, you cant ask for more! Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you again.
Listen they are great and amazing people I would recommend them because they have become like my family they are very sweet and kind.... And you just need to go check them out. They are awesome me and my little baby and my fiancee goes there they are great people...
