Bike Auto Accident Injuries

Mike’s Real Recovery Story after a Bicycle Auto Accident

Being hit by a vehicle while riding a bicycle can cause significant trauma, even without broken bones. Injuries can include whiplash, disc problems, nerve irritation, headaches, muscle bruising, numbness or tingling, stiffness, and widespread pain. Chiropractic care can work alongside traditional medical treatment to help improve pain, spinal alignment, mobility, and overall function after an accident.

The Accident & Mike’s Symptoms

Mike was riding his bicycle across the street when he was struck by a vehicle, destroying his bike and sending him forcefully to the ground. When he came to our office, he was experiencing severe neck, upper/mid-back, and hip pain, along with headaches, pins-and-needles sensations traveling into his arms, shoulder and wrist pain, and carpal tunnel symptoms. His pain and limited mobility made everyday activities and even going to work impossible.

Chiropractic X-rays revealed spinal misalignments and disc bulges that were contributing to his symptoms.

Mike’s personalized care plan focused on relieving pain and pressure associated with disc bulges, and improving his spinal alignment, mobility, and function. His care included:

  • Chiropractic Adjustments & Postural Rehabilitation (helps reduce pain and stiffness, and promotes healing; Helps correct structural misalignments and retrain the muscles that support the spine)
  • Massage Bed Therapy (helps relax tight muscles, improve circulation, reduce tension and stiffness, and prepare the body for chiropractic adjustments)

  • Heat & Ice Therapy (Helps relax tight muscles, reduce soreness and inflammation, and improve comfort)

Mike’s Results

With consistent care, Mike made remarkable improvements in his health and overall well-being. His follow-up X-rays clearly demonstrated that his spinal structure was successfully moving back toward a normal, healthy alignment. Along with this structural correction, Mike experienced a complete resolution of his radiating arm numbness and a significant improvement in his frequent headaches. His overall flexibility and mobility were fully restored, allowing him to confidently return to work and resume all of his normal daily activities. Mike’s story serves as a powerful reminder that recovery after a traumatic accident is about much more than simply managing pain—it is about fully regaining your mobility, physical function, and quality of life. If you have been injured in an auto accident, scheduling a professional evaluation with Dr. Chris can be an important and necessary step toward getting back to the activities you love.

He is the first Chiropractor in Michigan to be certified in the Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP) technique of posture & spinal rehabilitation. CBP is the chiropractic technique with the most research studies published in medical and chiropractic journals, so it is the most scientific and specific of all the chiropractic techniques.

Growing up in Metro Detroit Michigan in a medical family, with both his mother and father working as registered nurses, Dr. Chris always knew he wanted to go into the medical profession. After recovering from a severe auto accident while he was in high school, in which he fractured both of his arms, several fingers and his leg, and had to undergo extensive surgeries and physical therapy. That is when Dr. Chris decided to go to Wayne State University to become a physical therapist.
 
At the same time Dr. Chris was going to Wayne State University to become a physical therapist he was introduced to chiropractic care by a high school friend who was going to Life University to become a chiropractor.  Since starting under chiropractic care, the chronic sinus infections he used to experience on a monthly basis now happen rarely, and at that time he became a chiropractic believer and converted. That’s when he changed his college major from physical therapy to chiropractic.
 
Dr. Chris graduated from Life University in Marietta Georgia in 2002 and has dedicated his life to helping the people of Macomb County Michigan achieve natural and safe health and healing through chiropractic rehab and disc decompression therapy.
