Digital AOMSI testing
Digital AOMSI testing helps us gather objective information about how your body is functioning after an accident.
Auto accident recovery
Supportive care after a car crash
After a collision, discomfort and movement changes may not always show up right away. Vital Steps Chiropractic offers a thoughtful, individualized approach to help you understand your needs and begin moving forward.
After a collision
A clear plan after the impact
A car crash can place sudden force on the body, affecting the neck, back, shoulders, and overall movement. We begin by listening to what happened, learning about your symptoms and goals, and carefully assessing for specific spinal injuries and movement changes that may need attention. Dr. Pappicco’s advanced postdoctoral education in Primary Spine Care, MRI interpretation, biomechanics, and medical documentation helps inform this thorough approach.
Finding specific spinal injuries
Spinal biomechanic measurements
We evaluate spinal movement and biomechanics to identify restrictions, imbalances, and areas that may need attention.
Detailed findings and next steps
We review what we find in clear language, then connect your results, comfort level, and recovery goals to recommendations for care, progress checks, and at-home movement.
Your care, tailored to you
Tools that support your recovery
Your care plan may combine chiropractic care with supportive therapies selected for your individual needs and clinical findings.
Chiropractic care
Care focused on spinal alignment, mobility, and comfortable movement.
Laser therapy
We use a Class IV Summus Horizon laser as a non-invasive therapy that may be included to support the body’s natural recovery process after an accident.
Electrical stimulation
A supportive modality that can be used to help manage discomfort and encourage muscle relaxation.
Guided exercise
Simple movement and exercise recommendations designed to help you rebuild confidence and function over time.
Spinal traction
Mechanical traction gently decompresses the spine to relieve pressure on injured discs and nerve roots — a valuable tool for reducing pain and restoring mobility after a crash.
