Motorcycle accidents put the body through immense force and can cause serious injuries to the neck, back, and spine. They can often cause misalignments, soft tissue damage, and other injuries. When a motorcycle accident injury victim sees a chiropractor from our Fort Myers office, we can help restore proper alignment, reduce pain, treat injuries, and promote healing.
At Specific Care Chiropractic, our Fort Myers treatments and services are all non-invasive and drug-free. We can treat and rehabilitate a wide range of injuries while helping you manage pain and other symptoms and come back stronger than you were before your accident.

Conditions Addressed by a Fort Myers Motorcycle Accident Injury Chiropractor
Some common motorcycle accident injuries benefit significantly from chiropractic care. A physician at your doctor’s office or a nearby emergency department might recommend seeing a chiropractor, or you might be seeking a non-invasive, drug-free alternative to other options.
Some conditions and symptoms commonly treated by our chiropractors and physiotherapists include:
- Whiplash: A soft tissue injury that causes neck pain, stiffness, and headaches, whiplash can be treated with chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy.
- Back Pain: Spinal adjustments can relieve pain and improve mobility caused by misalignments or back injuries.
- Herniated Discs: Herniated discs cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the limbs. They often respond positively to chiropractic care and physical therapy.
- Joint Injuries: Our chiropractors treat many joint injuries, including dislocations, strains, and sprains, with joint manipulation and rehabilitation exercises. We treat knees, wrists, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and hips.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains, strains, and other soft tissue injuries to muscles and ligaments often improve with therapies and rehabilitation.
- Headaches: We can get to the bottom of what is causing your accident-related headaches and manage them with adjustments, manipulations, and therapies.
- Neck Pain: Many injuries can contribute to neck pain after a motorcycle accident. We can diagnose the cause and address it with cervical adjustments and therapies.
- Rehabilitation of Injuries: Sometimes, our chiropractors step in after another doctor or specialist treats a condition. We can prescribe rehabilitation exercises and therapies that support improved strength, greater flexibility, and a more complete recovery from various injuries. This could include severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and spinal cord injuries (SCIs)
How Does Fort Myers Motorcycle Accident Injury Treatment Work?
When a motorcycle accident victim comes into our Fort Myers clinic for the first time, we take time to understand their condition, including any preexisting conditions and symptoms related to their accident injuries. We perform a physical exam and use X-rays and other medical imaging as needed to understand their injuries.
Once we have a diagnosis and understand their lifestyle, overall health, and goals, we prescribe a unique, personalized plan to help them heal. This will initially focus on symptom management and treatment. Once they begin to heal and symptoms fade, this transitions more into physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Our goals for any patient include improved flexibility, regaining their range of motion, and improving their strength. Overall, we aim to reduce the risk of re-injury or future issues. Often, our patients leave our care stronger and healthier than they were before they suffered motorcycle accident injuries.
How Our Team Manages Fort Myers Motorcycle Accident Injury Cases
The Specific Care Chiropractic team understands how important it is for motorcycle accident victims to receive the care they need and make a physical recovery from their injuries. Some injuries are too severe to expect a full recovery, but we work to help patients regain as much mobility and independence as possible despite severe injuries.
We also understand that our patients need to ensure their treatment will be covered by their motorcycle accident settlement. Our team understands how insurance works after a Fort Myers motorcycle accident. We know you need to have a well-documented diagnosis and treatment plan, and we provide the necessary documents to show your injuries and how they affected your life.
We will work with your motorcycle accident attorney to help you get the records you need for a fault-based insurance claim or another type of legal action based on your Fort Myers motorcycle accident injuries. Chiropractic care is generally covered by these settlements when it is medically necessary or recommended for your injuries.
Prescribed Treatments at Our Fort Myers Motorcycle Accident Injury Clinic
At Specific Care Chiropractic, our practitioners provide each patient with a personalized treatment plan. Most include a combination of chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy to address symptoms, underlying causes, and any weakness or deficiency caused by the injury.
What treatments you can expect depends greatly on your injuries and unique needs. Our chiropractors never use a one-size-fits-all plan. Instead, we combine spinal adjustments, pain management therapies, and physical therapy exercises to present a comprehensive plan for care.
Some of the treatments you might receive as a part of your care plan include:
- Spinal manipulation to realign the vertebrae, reduce back pain, and improve functioning
- Trigger point therapy to address muscle and ligament injuries
- Joint mobilization to restore range of motion to injured joints
- Massage, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound therapy to reduce pain and encourage healing
As you continue your treatment plan, your chiropractor will continue to assess your progress. Most patients require some alterations to their treatment plan during this time. They may need to repeat some treatments or exercises, try a different approach, or increase their physical therapy to make additional gains. Our continued assessment of each patient’s condition allows them to make the most progress possible based on their overall health and injuries.
