Auto Accident Care: Dr. Travis Arrington's Perspective

Helping accident victims move past whiplash, stiffness, and lingering pain by finding and correcting what the crash left behind.

What happens to the body in a car accident?

Even a low speed crash sends a sudden jolt through your neck, spine, and joints in a fraction of a second. Your head whips forward and back, your seatbelt locks across your chest and hips, and the ligaments, muscles, and nerves absorb forces they were never built to handle.

Why do some people feel fine at first and hurt days later?

Adrenaline masks pain right after a crash, and soft tissue injuries and joint irritation often take hours or days to show up. Stiffness, headaches, and aching that appear after the accident are very common and worth getting checked early.

What are the most common issues you see?

Whiplash and neck pain, headaches, low back pain, shoulder and seatbelt related pain, sciatica, jaw pain, and a lingering foggy or on edge feeling. Many patients also notice trouble sleeping and a nervous system that stays stuck in fight or flight.

What if I was told nothing is wrong?

Standard imaging is great at ruling out fractures and emergencies, but it often cannot show how well your joints are moving or how well your brain and body are communicating. Pain after an accident with a clean X-ray is still real, and it is something we look into with a thorough exam.

How can chiropractic care help after an accident?

Gentle, brain based adjustments restore motion to joints that were jammed in the crash, calm irritated nerves, and help your nervous system come out of protection mode. We pair that with soft tissue care and a home plan so your body can heal rather than just compensate.

If you have just been in a crash and have severe pain, numbness or weakness, loss of consciousness, or confusion, go to the emergency room first. We are here for the care that comes after.

How We Treat Auto Accident Injuries in Sandy, UT

Comprehensive Consultation and Exam

What is this process like at White Bison Well-Being?

We start with a relaxed, no pressure conversation so I can hear your story, how the accident happened, what your pain feels like, and what you have already tried. From there we move into a thorough exam, including posture analysis, range of motion testing, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a full spinal assessment. We also review any imaging or ER records you already have.

Why is it important to get to the root cause of the problem?

Masking post accident pain with medication does not fix what is actually happening underneath. Finding the real root, usually a subluxation or a breakdown in brain to body communication, lets your body do the healing instead of just managing symptoms.

Brain Based Chiropractic Care in Sandy, UT

What is a subluxation and how can it relate to auto accident injuries?

A subluxation is a brain to body communication problem, a stuck or misaligned vertebra that interferes with nerve signals. The force of a crash can easily jam the joints of the neck and low back, creating muscle tension, compensation patterns, and nervous system stress that feed directly into post accident pain.

How can brain based adjustments benefit a patient after an accident?

Gentle, low force adjustments clear the nerve static, reduce muscle guarding, and restore proper communication between your brain and body. Many patients notice a real shift in how they feel within the first few visits.

What makes brain based chiropractic different from the conventional treatment model?

Conventional care usually hands you medication to quiet the symptom while the injury settles. Brain based chiropractic finds and corrects the actual interference driving your pain, so the goal is resolution, not management.

Nerve Point Reset

What is Nerve Point Reset?

Nerve Point Reset uses specific TTAPS points, a system developed by Dr. Alan Bonebrake, to calm the nervous system and release the protective guarding patterns your body holds onto.

How does it help after an accident?

A crash puts the nervous system on high alert. Nerve Point Reset helps your body come out of protection mode, which is often a hidden piece of what keeps post accident pain and tension sticking around.

BioCharger Therapy

What is the BioCharger?

The BioCharger is a therapy platform that uses light, frequency, and vibration to support your body's natural energy and recovery systems, creating a better internal environment for healing to take place.

How does it support recovery from auto accident injuries?

It is used as part of your broader care plan to support cellular energy and recovery capacity, helping the rest of your treatment hold and build on itself between visits.

Qest4 Scans

What is a Qest4 scan?

The Qest4 is a bioenergetic scanning tool we use to check for chemical and environmental stressors that may be quietly slowing down your body's ability to heal.

Why does this matter after an accident?

If your system is dealing with underlying chemical stress, healing from an injury becomes an uphill battle no matter how good the mechanical care is. The scan helps us see what else may need to be addressed.

Rapid Regen: Our Three-Layer Soft Tissue Protocol

What is Rapid Regen?

Rapid Regen is our three-layer soft tissue protocol built around one idea: one tool gives you a partial fix, but three layers working in sequence give you real regeneration. We spark the cells, ignite the reset, and fuel the results.

What happens in each layer?

Spark uses EMTT with 808 nanometer red light to prime your cells and tissue so they are ready to heal. Ignite uses radial ShockWave to mechanically break down scar tissue and adhesions, forcing your body to actively rebuild. Fuel uses Class 4 laser to flood the area with blood flow and nutrients, locking in the healing and structuring new tissue.

How does Rapid Regen help with auto accident injuries?

Whiplash and other crash injuries damage ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Layering these three tools together addresses that soft tissue component from multiple angles in a single visit, rather than relying on one modality to do all the work. Before starting, we screen for things like pacemakers and blood thinners to make sure it is a safe fit for you.

Home Therapies

What happens between visits?

We build a personalized home plan for your recovery, which may include DNA Vibe wearable therapy, physical therapy style exercises, emotional release work, and nutritional recommendations.

Why does the plan look different for every patient?

No two accidents or bodies are the same, so your home plan is built around what your exam and history actually show, not a generic handout.

Common Injuries After a Car Accident

Whiplash and Neck Pain

What is whiplash?

Whiplash happens when your head is thrown forward and back faster than your neck can control, straining the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck. It can happen even in a low speed fender bender.

What does it feel like?

A stiff, achy neck that is hard to turn, often with headaches, shoulder tension, and dizziness. Symptoms can show up hours or days after the crash.

How does chiropractic care help?

Gentle adjustments restore motion to the jammed joints of the neck, Nerve Point Reset calms the guarding, and Rapid Regen supports the strained soft tissue.

Headaches and Post Accident Migraines

Why do headaches start after an accident?

Irritated joints and tight muscles in the upper neck feed straight into the nerves that supply the head, and the crash can leave your nervous system on high alert.

What techniques do you use to relieve them?

Gentle upper neck adjustments, Nerve Point Reset, and soft tissue work to release the muscles driving the headache, along with a home plan to keep them from returning.

Low Back Pain

Why does a crash hurt the low back?

The seatbelt holds your pelvis in place while your spine keeps moving, which can jam the joints of the low back and strain the discs, ligaments, and surrounding muscles.

What techniques do you use to relieve it?

Gentle, low force adjustments to the low back and pelvis, Nerve Point Reset to release guarding, and Rapid Regen for the soft tissue, plus core and hip strengthening as you heal.

Sciatica and Radiating Pain

How can an accident cause pain down the leg?

Joint and disc irritation in the low back can pinch or inflame the sciatic nerve, sending pain, tingling, or numbness down the leg.

How can chiropractic care relieve it?

Gentle adjustments restore pelvic and low back balance to take pressure off the nerve, along with simple exercises to keep the nerve moving freely.

Shoulder and Seatbelt Related Pain

Why do shoulders and ribs hurt after a crash?

The seatbelt and the way you brace on the wheel load the shoulder, collarbone area, upper back, and ribs. Muscles and joints there often tighten up or get irritated.

What techniques do you use to relieve it?

Adjustments to the neck, upper back, ribs, and shoulder, Rapid Regen for the tendons and soft tissue, and gentle mobility work.

Jaw Pain and TMJ

Can a car accident affect the jaw?

Yes. The same whipping motion that strains the neck can irritate the jaw joint and the muscles around it, leading to pain, clicking, or tightness when you chew or talk.

What techniques do you use to relieve it?

Gentle work on the jaw, neck, and upper back, along with Nerve Point Reset to calm the muscles that keep the jaw tense.

Nervous System Stress and Sleep Trouble

Why do I feel on edge or foggy after an accident?

A crash is a major stressor for your nervous system. Many people notice trouble concentrating, poor sleep, and a body that stays stuck in fight or flight. If you have symptoms like confusion or worsening headaches after a head impact, get evaluated by a medical provider right away.

How can brain based care help?

Brain based adjustments, Nerve Point Reset, and emotional release work help calm an overactive nervous system so your body can shift back toward rest and recovery.
