Melbourne Chiropractic Spine and Injury Center specializes in bodily trauma caused by automobile accidents. Dr. Steve Canuel, DC, can help with realignment, pain relief and recovery time. He is Trauma Certified by the Academy of Chiropractic Post-Doctoral Division.

“An auto accident can cause trauma to the entire body which can last a lifetime if you don’t seek treatment,” says Dr. Canuel. “I treat the problem, rather than mask the symptoms with pain medication.” 

The most common types of auto injuries include whiplash, headache, jaw pain, back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain. Other symptoms that may exhibit are blurred vison, sleep issues, numbness, tingling or burning sensations, shooting pain in extremities, dizziness irritability or forgetfulness. “Sometimes, it can take days or even weeks for symptoms related to automobile accident injuries to show up,” says Dr. Canuel. “Therefore, it’s important to have a professional diagnosis immediately after an accident.” Treatments may include spinal adjustments, spinal and knee decompression, rehabilitative treatments, and exercises.
