Accident-injury care near West Valley City
After a collision, it is common to focus first on the vehicle, police report, insurance calls, and transportation. Physical symptoms may be obvious right away or become noticeable later. Pain, stiffness, headaches, and difficulty with normal movement deserve appropriate attention—especially when they began after the crash.
Our office is at 5500 S. Redwood Rd. #202, Taylorsville, UT 84123, serving West Valley City and surrounding Salt Lake Valley communities. Hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Call or text before coming so the office can confirm availability and explain what information to bring.
Problems that may follow a collision
- Neck pain, stiffness, or difficulty turning the head
- Headaches that were not present before the crash
- Mid-back or low-back pain
- Shoulder, hip, knee, or rib-area discomfort
- Muscle soreness, tightness, or spasms
- Numbness, tingling, weakness, or radiating pain
- Difficulty sleeping, working, driving, sitting, or lifting
These concerns can come from different tissues and conditions. Website information cannot determine the cause, and not every accident injury is appropriate for chiropractic treatment.
A focused first evaluation
The first visit is designed to understand both the collision and its effect on your daily life. We review how the crash occurred, when symptoms began, prior care, current medications, relevant health history, and activities that have become painful or difficult.
Dr. Wayne Hansen may evaluate motion, tenderness, strength, reflexes, sensation, orthopedic findings, and functional limitations when appropriate. The findings guide the recommendation—not simply the fact that an accident occurred.
Care that adapts as you recover
If chiropractic care or rehabilitation is appropriate, the plan is tailored to your examination, comfort, goals, and progress. Care may include education, activity guidance, chiropractic techniques, mobility work, and progressive strengthening. Reassessment helps determine when recommendations should change.
Some patients need imaging, medical referral, or co-management. We explain those recommendations when examination findings indicate that another type of evaluation may be appropriate. Learn more about our auto accident care process, treatment and rehabilitation options, and whiplash evaluations.
Documentation, insurance, and attorney communication
Accident care involves more than recording a pain score. Clinical notes may describe reported symptoms, examination findings, functional limitations, recommendations, treatment provided, and measured progress. Accurate documentation supports continuity of care and can help authorized parties understand the clinical course.
Our office has experience with auto accident claims and major insurance carriers, but benefits vary by policy and claim. Coverage and payment responsibility should be verified. If you have an attorney, bring the firm’s information. With written authorization, we can respond to appropriate records requests and communicate relevant clinical information. Attorneys may use our referral page.
Prepare for your appointment
- Write down when each symptom began and what makes it better or worse
- Bring photo identification and insurance information
- Bring the claim number and adjuster details, if available
- Bring emergency-room, urgent-care, or imaging reports
- List current medications and relevant health conditions
- Bring attorney contact information if you are represented
