Our chiropractor-owned clinic provides individualized care, rehabilitation, useful documentation, and communication with attorneys when properly authorized.
Local care after a Taylorsville car accident
A crash can place sudden force on the neck, back, shoulders, and other joints—even when the vehicle damage looks minor. Some people notice symptoms immediately; others feel worse over the next several hours or days. A timely evaluation can document what has changed, screen for concerns, and identify appropriate next steps.
Canyon Sports and Spine is located at 5500 S. Redwood Rd. #202, Taylorsville, UT 84123. We serve accident patients from Taylorsville and nearby Salt Lake Valley communities. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Please call or text before coming so we can confirm availability.
Symptoms we commonly evaluate
- Neck pain, stiffness, or reduced range of motion
- Headaches that began after the collision
- Upper-, mid-, or lower-back pain
- Shoulder, hip, knee, or other joint discomfort
- Muscle tightness, soreness, or spasms
- Numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain into an arm or leg
- Difficulty sleeping, driving, sitting, lifting, or completing normal activities
These symptoms can have different causes. An online page cannot diagnose an injury, and chiropractic care is not appropriate for every condition.
What to expect at your first visit
Your first visit begins with a conversation about the collision, symptom onset, prior medical care, health history, and the activities that are now difficult. Dr. Wayne Hansen may assess movement, tenderness, strength, reflexes, sensation, orthopedic findings, and functional limitations as appropriate.
After the examination, we explain the findings in plain language and discuss reasonable options. Recommendations may include education, chiropractic treatment, guided mobility or strengthening, rehabilitation, co-management, imaging, or referral. Treatment frequency and duration depend on clinical findings and individual progress; outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Individualized chiropractic care and rehabilitation
Care is selected for the individual patient rather than applied as a standard accident package. When clinically appropriate, treatment may combine chiropractic techniques with progressive movement and rehabilitation. We reassess progress so the plan can change as comfort, mobility, strength, and daily function improve.
