Motor Vehicle Accidents

Lawrence, KS | Midwest Muscle & Joint Clinic

Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) can lead to a variety of injuries, some of which may not manifest immediately. The sudden impact of a car accident can cause your body to move in ways it wasn't designed to move. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive approach to diagnosing and treating these injuries, promoting recovery and preventing long-term complications.
