Auto accident injury care near Murray
After a collision, medical needs can be easy to overlook while you are handling transportation, vehicle repairs, insurance calls, and work or family responsibilities. Some symptoms appear immediately, while others become noticeable over the following hours or days. New pain, stiffness, headaches, numbness, or difficulty moving should be evaluated appropriately.
Canyon Sports and Spine is located at 5500 S. Redwood Rd. #202, Taylorsville, UT 84123, west of Murray.

Symptoms we commonly evaluate after a crash
- Neck pain, stiffness, or reduced range of motion
- Headaches beginning after the collision
- Upper-, mid-, or lower-back pain
- Shoulder, hip, knee, rib, or other joint discomfort
- Muscle soreness, tightness, or spasms
- Numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain traveling into an arm or leg
- Difficulty sleeping, driving, sitting, lifting, working, or exercising
These concerns can have different causes. A website cannot diagnose an injury, and chiropractic treatment is not appropriate for every condition. Examination findings help determine whether care, imaging, medical referral, or co-management is reasonable.
What happens during the first evaluation?
The visit begins with a discussion of how the accident happened, when symptoms began, prior treatment, relevant health history, medications, and the activities that have become uncomfortable or difficult. Dr. Wayne Hansen, DC, CCSP, EMT-P, may assess movement, tenderness, strength, reflexes, sensation, orthopedic findings, and functional limitations when appropriate.
We explain the findings in plain language and discuss reasonable next steps. Recommendations may include education, chiropractic care, guided mobility, progressive rehabilitation, imaging, referral, or co-management. Treatment frequency and duration depend on the examination and the patient’s progress; outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Individualized care and rehabilitation
Our clinic does not use one standard plan for every accident patient. When appropriate, care may combine chiropractic techniques with movement and rehabilitation selected for the patient’s tolerance, goals, and findings. Reassessment helps the plan change as comfort, mobility, strength, and normal activity improve.
