If you live in Edmond, OK and you've been injured in an auto collision, Shepard Chiropractic Clinic is here to help. We've worked with many patients who have been injured in a car crash and we can probably help you, too. During a crash, your body is exposed to violent forces that can injure the delicate anatomical structures of your body.

We effectively help many auto collision patients in our Edmond, OK office, and Dr. Matthew Shepard has years of experience working with this type of injury. During a crash, your body is subjected to great forces that it simply wasn't built to handle. These forces place strain and stresses on your neck, shoulder, and back and can actually cause injury to the ligaments that hold your spine together.

With all of the auto injury patients we've treated in our Edmond, OK office, we've seen many folks suffering from chronic pain caused by an old collision. In fact, research shows that a significant percentage of rear-end collisions result in pain and disability even ten years after the crash.

Our goal at Shepard Chiropractic Clinic is to help you avoid developing chronic pain by quickly restoring the natural function of your spine soon after a crash.The most common causes of chronic pain are the reduced mobility of your spine and the development of scar tissue in your spine. The ligaments of your spine can easily be injured during a crash, and chiropractic works by reducing inflammation and restoring normal motion.

Auto injuries are an expensive and painful problem around the world. Experts estimate that we spend over $30 billion per year in treating the pain and disability that can result from a rear-end crash. We see many of these cases each year in our Edmond, OK office. Most people don't realize that many of these types of injuries can be prevented by properly adjusting your head restraint.
