Our Brevard County chiropractic care at Injury Centers of Brevard includes targeted treatment of the spine, nervous system, and surrounding muscles. Our chiropractors in Titusville, Cocoa, and Melbourne, FL use a conservative, holistic approach to healthcare, helping our patients overcome pain while also improving overall health and functionality. We are adept at examining patients’ aches and pains to produce a reliable diagnosis and outline an effective treatment plan that includes manual manipulation as well as rehabilitative exercises.

Yes. The Brevard County chiropractors at our facilities have earned Doctor of Chiropractic degrees at accredited institutions and passed National Board Examinations. They must also apply to a licensing board and pass its test before earning the right to practice chiropractic care legally. Our doctors’ education is ongoing, meaning they must complete continuing education for license renewal and to stay up to date with the newest research and techniques. However, unlike physicians, chiropractors cannot prescribe medication.

Our Brevard County chiropractors treat a host of conditions, specializing in those associated with auto accidents such as whiplash, back pain, and neck pain. If you suffer a whiplash injury as the result of a car accident, you should visit one of our facilities for treatment to alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and restore functionality. We can also provide neck pain relief, back pain relief, sacroiliac joint pain relief, and address issues related to your TMJ. Other conditions we can treat with chiropractic care include:

  • Migraines and headaches
  • Muscle spasms in your back
    Weakness in your arms and legs
  • Sports injuries

A chiropractic adjustment is a technique that incorporates a controlled force applied in a precise direction to a joint, most commonly in the spine, that is not moving properly. Our Brevard County chiropractic adjustments will correct structural alignment and remove any interferences in your nervous system. The result is improved spinal function, reduced pain and inflammation, and overall wellness.

The overwhelming majority of chiropractic adjustments are not only safe, but highly effective in alleviating pain and restoring one’s range of motion.

There are, of course, rare cases where an adjustment can worsen a condition—but these cases involve amateur adjustments. At our clinic, our auto accident injury doctors have education and years of experience in hands-on chiropractic and physical adjustment therapy.

In short: There’s nothing to worry about and a lot of pain relief to look forward to with our car accident injury care.

The answer to this question isn’t so simple.

While many injuries related to auto accidents—slipped discs, whiplash, etc.—can be treated with chiropractic adjustments, it usually takes on-going treatment for some time before full restoration is achieved.

Our Brevard county chiropractic treatment can and has helped people fully recover from physical problems caused by auto accidents and other events. What’s more, not only is it a long-term solution, but it also provides quick relief in the moment—most people experience an immediate relief of pain and tension after a professional chiropractic adjustment.

No. Your chiropractic doctor in Titusville, Cocoa, or Melbourne, FL will evaluate you to determine your issue and an individualized treatment plan. Each adjustment will advance the previous, ultimately providing relief from aches and pains. Among the techniques our doctors can utilize are:

  • Direct thrust
  • Articulatory
  • Functional
  • Isometric
  • Indirect positional
  • Myofascial release

When it comes to car accident injury care, in almost all cases, there is little-to-no pain involved in a chiropractic adjustment. Quite the opposite, in fact.

You may feel some pressure and tension, and then some painless pops and cracks as your vertebrae are set back into their proper alignment.

You may also feel relief in certain muscles, as misalignments in the vertebrae cause tension in the muscles branching off from them.

After an adjustment, you may feel a bit lightheaded, which is perfectly normal and goes away on its own. Some people also feel a slight soreness akin to something you’d feel after a light workout. This makes sense, as a chiropractic adjustment doesn’t just require work on the part of the auto accident injury doctor performing the adjustment—readjustments in the vertebrae and muscles of your own body are a form of work as well.

That said, overall, you can expect an overall sense of relaxation and alleviation of pain, along with an increased range of motion, more energy, and a clearer mind.

People typically seek chiropractic adjustments after they’ve twisted their backs. What this more accurately means is that a disc has probably been slipped or the vertebrae have been forced out of alignment. This leads to muscle tightness, pain in the head, neck, and back, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating (brain fog).

These are typically things one will experience after an auto accident, as broken discs and whiplash are two of the most common injuries sustained in such events. This is true even if the event was a simple fender-bender, for which many people require auto accident injury care.

This all depends on the nature of your injury and its severity.

Every case is different and our car accident injury doctors provide individualized treatment on a case-by-case basis in order to give each individual the care they need.

  • A reduction in pain and muscle soreness;
  • A reduction in headaches and brain fog;
  • Increased range of motion, energy levels, and mental clarity; and
  • Long-term recovery from injuries sustained in auto accidents or other events.

Yes. Children can suffer significant spinal trauma during birth, which is why doctors check many newborns for vertebral subluxation. Boys and girls may also receive injuries from sports participation or while at play. To treat either of these, our skilled Brevard County chiropractors can take a gentle approach to the treatment of back or neck pain, stiffness, and discomfort. Children who receive chiropractic adjustments often report being healthier than their peers.

Of course. Receiving chiropractic care during pregnancy can improve nerve system functionality and alleviate related pain. Additionally, we can use specific techniques to help properly position your baby for delivery. Our doctors at Injury Centers of Brevard will adapt each adjustment based on the stage of pregnancy and individual needs.

Most health insurance plans include chiropractic care. You should check with your provider for specifics, but chiropractic treatment could be just a phone call away.

Every treatment plan differs, but you will likely need multiple sessions to remedy your lower back pain, neck pain, or whiplash injury. While the course of treatment is ongoing, we will also describe pain management techniques that you can employ between visits to our office. Our team will do everything we can to minimize the number of times you need to receive an adjustment, eliminating any unnecessary visits. Before beginning treatment, we will discuss with you an expected timeline so you can plan accordingly.
