Auto Accident Chiropractic in Omaha
Auto accidents can disrupt your life, even when the crash seems minor. You might feel sore for a few days and assume you are getting better, then weeks or months later headaches, fatigue, or neck pain begin to show up. It is confusing when your body does not match what the ER or urgent care said.

In a crash, your head and neck move like a bobblehead while the rest of your body is strapped in. That whipping motion happens in a fraction of a second, stretching muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your neck beyond what they are built to handle. This can change the shape of your neck, sometimes creating a “reverse curve” in the cervical spine. Women are often more vulnerable because their head weighs about the same as a man’s, but they usually have less neck muscle mass to protect them. Getting evaluated early helps tissues heal properly.
Corrective Care That Looks at Structure
Dr. Johnson is trained in Chiropractic Biophysics, a research-based approach that studies how the shape and alignment of your spine affect your nerves and muscles. It uses precise analysis, targeted adjustments, and specific rehab and traction methods to restore healthier spinal curves and posture. By working to improve the underlying structure, her office can address reverse neck curves that follow whiplash and help reduce the risk of long-term weakness and degeneration.
Your First Auto Accident Visit
Please bring any police reports, your health and auto insurance information, your car insurance agent’s contact details, and your claim number. You will complete an auto crash questionnaire so Dr. Johnson can understand how the crash happened and what your body has been feeling since. She will perform an exam, take digital X-rays when needed, and explain what she sees and how it connects to your symptoms.

Recovery time depends on the severity of the accident and whether you had pre-existing spine problems. Some cases take longer when the collision made old issues worse.
