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.
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 Norman 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.

Dr Hewett is an outstanding chiropractor! My lower back and hips have never felt better! I enjoy the decompression treatments, because it helps open up the areas between by vertebrae…hopefully preventing my degenerative arthritis, in my spine, from getting worse. Dr Hewett’s staff is wonderful too! Very professional, knowledgeable and kind! I 100% recommend Hewett Chiropractic!
Dr hewett is a good dr. Definitely wants to help ya and see ya feeling better. Unfortunately I was seeking out a specific adjustment that is not offered currently by this establishment.(not sure if it will be at some point) the Y-Strap/ring dinger. I found a spot I had called previously before going to hewett and they called and was able to see me for the adjustment I was looking for. All in all I would definitely recommend him to people no problem. Hopefully he will integrate the Y-Strap into his practice at done point. Thanks doc, ya helped me get out of the agonizing neck pain but I just needed that extra adjustment.
I am simply amazed at the level of improvement in my daily life after just a few visits. I will recommend Dr. Hewett to EVERYONE. Thank you so much for the awesome treatment that I received.
Dr. Hewett is such caring, insightful, knowledgeable, beautiful person. He is honest and straight forward about treatments and possibility of success. Trust him, he can help, and if he can't he will be honest!
All around amazing guy! Does great work but also is very invested in helping you in all healthy lifestyle roles. Office staff is always great to work with! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dr Hewett has done wonders for my back pain and works hard to create solutions as well as treatment. Everyone in his office is always so friendly and helpful!
Tyler knows his trade and is very passionate about it. He thinks outside the box from what you would usually get from a chiropractor. He won't just adjust you, he will provide you with ways to find a permanent solution to your aches and pains through simple daily exercises as well. Highly recommend if you are in the market for a chiropractor.
Absolutely the best! I have many issues being a horse trainer and Tyler has helped me so much not only with adjustments but also and so importantly teaching me how to strengthen my muscles to support how I use my body training horses. The friendliest service and truly listening to me about my issues.
Tyler Hewett is so thoughtful and caring with his work. He takes X-Rays first before anything. I wouldn’t have known I had a pars fracture if he wouldn’t have done an X-ray of my spine first. I’m so glad I decided to go to him before I continued lifting heavy in the gym. I definitely recommend him to anyone needing an adjustment, cupping, and any other work done. He’s great with athletes!
Dr. Hewett takes x-rays in his office before even adjusts you. He even explained quick and to the point what we needed to work on. Came up with a plan for how many visits I needed to fix some of my issues. After a few visits I bragged to my husband and he started going and our kids. I try to tell as many people as I can about him. He is definitely worth the trip. Even his front desk Ashley is worth the visit she's friendly, chatty and works hard. They are really quick responding to calls and text messages.
Dr. Hewett is very professional and had me feeling better after the first appointment. Very knowledgeable and friendly, I received the best adjustment I have ever had
Though I have struggled with chronic back pain for years now, a self inflicted neck injury is what got me in to Dr. Hewett's office. He was able to establish a treatment plan that worked for me on my first visit, now I have been seeing him for around 2 months and my neck pain is gone and my back pain is manageable. Dr. Hewett is friendly, explains what he's doing and why and genuinely cares about your well being. Seeing him has helped me tremendously, I recommend coming to him for any chiropractic needs.
Tyler is really good about letting you know what’s goin on with what you’re seeing him for and explains it in a way that you can understand without a degree. He’s a great guy who really cares about his patients, I’ve been to a few chiropractors but I believe my search for the right one has come to an end.
Update: I took my 2 yr old in to get adjusted to help with her clubbed feet and doctor Hewett did such a good job with her she was so at ease during the whole appointment which is surprising because she usually doesnt like strangers. If you have a child needing to be adjusted this is the doctor to see!!<br><br>Staff is friendly and quick to help when you walk in. Doc did an amazing job popping all my trouble spots! 10/10 would get my back cracked like a glow stick again by doctor Hewett!
Best chiropractor I’ve ever had. Hands down. Tyler truly wants you to feel your best and achieve long term solutions. So much more than just getting your back popped every single week. I started going 3x a week and currently have never felt better despite sitting for work 8-10 hours a day.<br><br>Can’t say enough good things about this place and their wonderful staff 🙌🏽🙏🏼
I’ve been looking for a local chiropractor for a while now to help with my back pain from playing golf. After one visit, Dr. Hewett made my back pain disappear. The atmosphere was great and the people were very personable and awesome customer service!
I had been experiencing pain that had been caused from me being in the roofing industry. Dr. Hewett is the man to go see! He was able to get me back to feeling normal and pain free after a few visits.
