Pedestrian Auto Accident Injury

Hit by a Vehicle: Ron’s Chiropractic Recovery Story

Being struck by a vehicle while walking can cause a wide range of injuries, from seemingly minor strains and sprains to serious trauma. Common problems may include neck and back injuries, whiplash, muscle strains, ligament sprains, headaches, dizziness, joint pain, bruising, and reduced range of motion. More significant impacts can also result in disc injuries, nerve irritation, fractures, or other musculoskeletal injuries. Some symptoms may not appear immediately after an accident, which is why a thorough evaluation is important even when you initially feel relatively well.

Hit by a Vehicle: Ron’s Chiropractic Recovery Story

Ron came to Macomb Township Chiropractic after being struck by a car while crossing the street. As a blind individual, Ron had always been remarkably independent and was accustomed to getting around confidently and managing his daily activities on his own. Following the accident, however, he was experiencing significant back, hip, chest, and knee pain that made walking and many of the everyday activities he was used to doing much more difficult. The accident had not only affected him physically, but also disrupted the independence and freedom he had worked hard to maintain. Our goal was to help Ron address his pain and mobility challenges so he could work toward returning to the active, independent lifestyle he was accustomed to.

His Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic X-rays revealed significant spinal misalignments which were pinching on his nerves,  and further evaluation identified areas of spinal dysfunction and disc bulging related to his injuries. We developed a comprehensive care plan to address his pain, mobility challenges, and postural concerns, including:

  • Chiropractic Adjustments (helps reduce pain and stiffness while improving spinal mobility and function, promotes healing)
  • Postural Rehabilitation (helps correct structural misalignments and retrain the muscles that support the spine)
  • Disc Decompression Therapy (helps reduce pressure on spinal discs, improve mobility, and relieve back or neck pain associated with disc-related problems)
  • Massage Bed Therapy (helps relax tight muscles, improve circulation, reduce tension and stiffness, and prepare the body for chiropractic adjustments)
  • Muscle/Nerve Gun Therapy (helps reduce inflammation and support soft tissue healing)
  • Heat & Ice Therapy (helps relax tight muscles, reduce soreness and inflammation, and improve comfort)
  • Vibration & Balance Platform Therapy ((helps improve core strength, circulation, balance, and spinal support while reducing pressure on the discs)

Ron’s Results

After completing his care plan, Ron has made an incredible turnaround. He is now pain-free and functioning independently at an even higher level than before the accident. He is once again able to move through his daily life with confidence and freedom, and he is so happy that he came into our office. He’s quoted as saying he “feels 1,000 percent better!”

Being struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian can cause injuries ranging from strains and sprains to more serious spine, disc, nerve, or joint injuries. Since symptoms may develop or worsen over time, a thorough evaluation is important, even if you initially feel fine. If you’ve been injured in a car accident and are struggling with pain or limited mobility, Dr. Chris is here to help you!

Dr. Chris Mcneil

Dr. Chris McNeil specializes in Chiropractic Rehab and Disc Decompression Therapy. 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. Dr. Chris is also certified in the Kennedy disc decompression therapy technique for the treatment of bulging, herniated or degenerated discs.
 
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.
