Our clinic in Plymouth, MI
Hopefully, you don't experience an auto accident during your lifetime. If you do, however, even a minor collision can leave you feeling aches, pain, and discomfort that could affect your daily life days, weeks, or months after the incident. Without prompt care, those injuries could severely impact your long-term quality of life.
Whether you have neck, back, or shoulder pain from a car collision, treatment from a qualified auto accident chiropractor in Plymouth, MI, from REACH Rehab + Chiropractic will help you quickly heal naturally. Our friendly and highly experienced staff will assess the extent of your injuries and will create a plan to help relieve your pain while addressing what is causing it.
Why See A Chiropractor After An Auto Accident
People often ask themselves, “Should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?”. You can certainly visit your primary care physician after an auto collision to uncover severe structural injuries, e.g., fracture, rupture. But absent of a major injury they'll typically prescribe only pain medication and rest. These medications can be extremely beneficial in the short term, but they don't address the underlying cause of the symptoms you are experiencing. Visiting a chiropractor following your auto accident to assess the cause and effect of your pain can help lead you towards long-term relief, instead of just masking your symptoms with medications.
At REACH Rehab + Chiropractic, we specialize in various services, such as headaches, sciatica pain, auto accident injuries, and more. We partner with other healthcare professionals and specialists when treating patients and receive many referrals from primary care physicians. Our assessment process lets us determine in short order if you need a combination of care with your doctor or a specialist.
Chiropractic care in combination with physical rehabilitation remains highly beneficial for many auto accident patients who prefer a holistic, active-care approach to relieving their pain and recovering from their injuries. Consider some other reasons to visit an auto accident chiropractor in Plymouth, MI.
Four reasons to be seen after a collision
Pain Relief
We know how important it is to get back on your feet as soon as possible. That's why our doctor-patient, team-based approach of care provides the tools necessary to relieve pain quickly while addressing what is causing your pain.
Detect Unnoticed Injuries
Adrenaline and shock often mask injury symptoms, sometimes for months after an accident. A chiropractor can uncover all your injuries and create a treatment plan accordingly.
Learn To Heal
At REACH Rehab + Chiropractic, we provide a customized recovery plan with your goals in mind, without costly procedures. This comprehensive approach facilitates faster recovery. And you learn the preventative strategies to keep it that way.
Reduce Stress
An auto accident can cause more than just physical trauma. The stress associated with an accident can worsen physical symptoms like muscle tension or guarding. Our approach helps you take the guesswork out of healing so you can calm your nerves knowing you're in the right place to get better, faster.
Automotive Accident Chiropractic Treatment
When people sustain injuries from a car accident, they tend to use medication to address severe pain. However, the drugs only mask the pain; they don’t treat the problem’s underlying causes.
REACH Rehab + Chiropractic focuses more on the underlying issues that generate pain instead of solely treating symptoms. By scheduling a thorough chiropractic examination as soon as possible after an accident, we can bring relief by addressing the source of the problem. Depending on your condition, we may offer a combination of treatments including chiropractic adjustment, the McKenzie Method (MDT), Active Release Techniques (ART), functional rehab exercise, and massage therapy.
Minor wrecks also cause ongoing pain. Some of the most common conditions we treat include:
Sprains, muscle stiffness, headaches, muscle tears, and spinal pain are more common with minor wrecks than you may think. Severe incidents can lead to long-lasting, life-altering injuries. The sooner you seek treatment following an accident, the more likely you are to have quicker results. If you wait too long, your body will adapt and your symptoms could take longer to recover from.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between REACH and a traditional chiropractor?
Traditional chiropractic focuses primarily on spinal adjustments. You come in, get adjusted, and come back next week. At REACH, the adjustment is one tool in a much larger kit. We combine chiropractic care with manual therapy, rehab, and movement coaching, and we start with a real assessment to figure out what’s actually driving your pain before any treatment begins. The goal is to resolve the problem, teach you to manage it yourself, and discharge you when you’ve met your goals. Not keep you coming in forever. Our average is six visits. Most traditional practices build their model around the opposite.
How many visits will I need?
Our average is six visits, across simple and complicated cases. Some people need three or four, some need ten. We don’t pre-sell packages or tell you that you need to come three times a week for months. After your first visit you’ll have a clear picture of what we found, what the plan is, and roughly how many visits to expect. No surprises.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No referral needed. You can book directly online, which is the fastest way in, or call (734) 335-0212. If you’re using insurance, we run a complimentary benefits check once you’re scheduled so you know what to expect before your first visit. See fees and insurance.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Your confirmation email covers everything, so read it before you come in. Complete your electronic health history intake form before your visit (it’s linked in the email), wear comfortable clothing you can move in, and bring any relevant imaging reports if you have them. Your first visit is 60 minutes, 1-on-1 with the doctor the entire time.
Do you treat athletes?
Yes, and a solid portion of our patients are athletes or active adults. Dr. Burr holds TPI Medical Level 3 certification, and both doctors are trained in Active Release Techniques (ART), which is widely used in professional sports medicine. We treat overuse injuries in runners and cyclists, disc-related problems in weightlifters, and shoulder and elbow issues in racquet and pickleball players. Whatever the sport, the process is the same: find the driver, address it, and build enough capacity to get back stronger.
