Auto Accident Chiropractic Care in Western NC
A car accident can leave you with neck pain, back pain, stiffness, headaches, or changes in movement that appear immediately or develop later. Our Andrews and Bryson City teams begin with a careful evaluation and recommend care, imaging, or referral based on what they find.

After the crash
Do not guess about new pain, stiffness, or movement changes.
The force of a collision may affect muscles, joints, ligaments, and the way your neck, back, or shoulders move. Some people notice symptoms right away, while others notice them over the following hours or days.
Our role is to evaluate musculoskeletal concerns, explain the findings, and recommend an appropriate next step. Chiropractic care may be one part of a recovery plan. Imaging is used only when clinically indicated, and medical or specialist referral comes first when symptoms fall outside chiropractic care.

How auto accident visits work
A focused assessment before any recommendation is made.
The appropriate plan depends on the crash, your symptoms, health history, examination findings, prior medical evaluation, and whether urgent or specialist care is needed.
What to expect
A detailed crash and symptom history, focused orthopedic and neurological screening, movement assessment, and imaging only when the findings support it.
Why choose Cutshaw

Common reasons patients call

Some musculoskeletal symptoms become more noticeable after the initial stress of a collision. If new pain, stiffness, headache, or movement changes develop, contact an appropriate healthcare professional. Emergency symptoms should be evaluated immediately.
Call emergency services or seek urgent medical care for loss of consciousness, confusion, repeated vomiting, severe or rapidly worsening headache, chest or abdominal pain, trouble breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, suspected fracture, new weakness or numbness, loss of coordination, or bowel or bladder changes.
No. Imaging should be based on the history, examination, clinical decision rules, age, symptoms, and whether the result would change care. Some patients need no X-ray, while others may need hospital imaging, CT, MRI, or specialist evaluation instead.
When appropriate, chiropractic care may be used for selected musculoskeletal concerns such as neck or back pain, stiffness, reduced joint movement, and related muscle tension. The exact diagnosis and treatment options depend on the examination.
Bring identification, a medication list, relevant medical records, emergency or hospital discharge instructions, previous imaging reports, and notes about how the crash happened and how symptoms have changed. Call the office about administrative or claim-document requirements.
There is no single timeline for everyone. Urgent medical concerns must be addressed first. If the examination shows chiropractic care is appropriate, the doctor will explain when to begin, which techniques fit the findings, and how progress will be monitored.
