Car Accidents

Car accidents are very scary. Many people feel “fine” and “shaken up” after an accident and tell those at the accident they’re “ok.”

Often times pain, headaches, dizziness and nausea can set in immediately, can even start that night or the next day. It doesn’t matter if it’s a fender bender or your car was totalled. Many people go without having someone evaluate their brain and body for functional changes and soft tissue injuries after leaving the scene, or after leaving a hospital. If you know someone who’s been in an accident and isn’t sure what to do, have them call our office.

We are here to help.

If you’ve been in a car accident, there is a good chance you’ve sustained microscopic tissue injuries at the least, and possibly more serious musculoskeletal injuries. Regardless of the severity of the accident, if you’re in a little bit of pain or a lot, you should schedule an appointment for evaluation.

Common symptoms following a car accident:

  • headaches (from whiplash)
  • neck pain  (from whiplash)
  • shoulder pain (from the seat belt)
  • low back pain
  • foot pain (from your foot being on the pedal)
  • nausea, dizziness, balance issues (from possible concussion)

These are some of the most common symptoms we see following a car accident.

Sometimes the pain doesn’t show up for 1-2 weeks afterward. Don’t wait for the pain to start. Seek medical attention immediately if necessary, and present to our office for rehabilitation of your brain and body afterward. You will be happy you did.

“Honestly if I knew that getting in a car accident would have brought me to this clinic, I would have gotten in a car accident a long time ago. After sending my wife to you, we are so happy you’ve been able to help us both.” – Patient A.R.

You can start your treatment as early as the first visit. We will refer you out for imaging (X-ray or MRI) as needed. If you have any images or reports from seeking immediate medical attention, we request you bring those with you to your first visit.

Call now to schedule your initial car accident evaluation.

Janine Crifasi, DC, CCST

Dr. Janine Crifasi, our newest team member at AZ Chiropractic Neurology, is originally from New York – which explains the accent. She attended Life Chiropractic College West and was the Centennial class’s Most Outstanding Graduate. She practiced in the Bay Area until moving closer to family to raise her son who is attending college.

Dr. Janine is committed to learning and educating people to change their awareness about their bodies’ potential and empowering them with unique methods of retraining their brains to maximize their quality of life through neuroplasticity. Her passion to help others puts her patients at ease and makes her a highly sought-after community speaker. Prior to coming to Chandler, she owned a center specializing in kids with learning disabilities and served as the northeast clinical director of a functional neurology practice, overseeing several functional neurology clinics. 

She has completed her post-doctoral clinical neuroscience studies in Functional Neurology through the Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies and has successfully completed the clinical exam and is now board eligible for the written portion. She is a Board Certified Doctor of Chiropractic for over 26 years. She has received additional extensive training in Spinal Trauma, and the Activator Method, and has a certification in Postural Neurology. 

In an effort to better serve her patients, Dr. Crifasi completed postdoctoral specialty training in blood chemistry, thyroid chemistry, brain chemistry, neuro-immune, and neuro-endocrine functional medicine. This knowledge of the brain-gut axis, and the mechanisms that impact our health, allow her to provide patients with easily implemented modifications enhancing improved lifestyle and nutraceutical recommendations as needed.
