Auto Accident Chiropractic in Canoga Park
What Happens to Your Body in a Car Accident?
Even minor collisions can cause significant trauma to your body. During impact, your muscles can stretch, ligaments can tear, and your spine may experience sudden compression or misalignment. Depending on body position and whether you were braced for impact, different tissues can be affected. If you’re braced, muscles are more likely to be injured, while relaxed positioning often results in ligament damage.
Studies show that up to one-third of whiplash patients may develop TMJ problems within a year after their accident. Additionally, the stress of dealing with an accident—insurance claims, vehicle repairs, and daily disruption—adds another layer of tension to an already painful situation.

Why Immediate Chiropractic Care is Essential
Seeking chiropractic care promptly after an accident helps reduce healing time and speeds recovery by addressing injuries before they can develop into chronic problems. Dr. Wohlmaker’s gentle, effective techniques strengthen damaged structures and help prevent long-term complications that might otherwise affect you for years to come.
Our Approach to Auto Injury Treatment
At 1 Body 1 Life Chiropractic, we take a comprehensive approach to treating auto injuries. Dr. Wohlmaker uses his extensive training to evaluate the full extent of your injuries, not just the obvious pain points. Treatment typically begins with more frequent visits (2-3 times weekly) to address acute symptoms, then transitions to rehabilitative care as you improve.
For disc injuries resulting from accidents, we may recommend spinal decompression therapy—a non-invasive treatment that gently separates vertebrae to relieve pressure and promote healing. Unlike cortisone injections that merely mask symptoms, our approach addresses the underlying causes of your pain.
Insurance and Documentation for Auto Injuries
We work with auto insurance claims and understand the documentation requirements for accident cases. Our office accepts med-pay benefits and can work on lien with your attorney if needed. We can also help patients who prefer to pay out-of-pocket arrange reasonable payment plans.
If necessary, Dr. Wohlmaker collaborates with other healthcare professionals to ensure you receive comprehensive care. From providing referrals for diagnostic imaging to coordinating with specialists, we serve as your advocate throughout the recovery process.
