The impact of a car accident can lead to a spinal fracture, a potentially severe injury that can impair your mobility, leave you in pain, and prevent you from enjoying your hobbies. Many people hear the term “spinal fracture” and assume the only way to correct it is with surgery. That is absolutely false. A Lawrenceville spinal fracture chiropractor from Dominguez Chiropractic can correct a spinal fracture injury without any invasive procedures, starting from the first visit.
Dr. Barbara Dominguez and her team at Dominguez Chiropractic are committed to patient care, particularly those who have been injured in car accidents. We understand the pain you are going through and recognize that you want to get back to your normal life as quickly as possible. We will prescribe a customized treatment plan for your spinal fracture based on the needs of your condition.

How Chiropractic Care Can Heal a Spinal Fracture
Mayo Clinic reports that spinal fractures can result in a variety of different complications, including chronic pain, shortened height, and a hunched posture. However, the Cleveland Clinic notes that most spinal fracture injuries do not require surgery. In fact, unnecessary back surgery may lead to a host of unintended problems that are arguably worse than the issue you originally suffered from.
At Dominguez Chiropractic, we can evaluate your condition and prescribe a customized plan that promotes healing from within. Rather than solely relying on medications, we put your body in a position to heal itself so that your spine is healthy again.
When you come to us with a spinal fracture, we may be able to treat it with the following techniques:
Stabilization
Our patients with spinal fractures often come to us while in pain. Because the spine is the primary conduit of nerve signals throughout the entire body, any injury or disruption can lead to pain and numbness that radiate into the arms, legs, hands, feet, and other body areas.
If you are in so much pain that it is affecting your day-to-day life, our first goal is to stabilize you so that you are comfortable and ready to begin treatment. We accomplish this by using a variety of hands-on techniques.
Decompression
Spinal decompression is among the most effective methods for treating a fracture. By decompressing the spine, we reduce pressure on the fractured vertebrae, allowing it space to heal. Decompression can alleviate a host of additional spinal issues, including compressed or herniated disks.
Realignment
Once we have decompressed your spine and allowed the fracture to heal itself, we can perform specific adjustments to put your spine back into proper alignment. In addition to fractured vertebrae and slipped disks, the impact of a car accident can lead to spinal misalignments.
Even if they do not lead to chronic pain, they can subtly impair your quality of life and physical performance. Our goal is to take measures to relieve your pain and help you get your life back on track.
Preventative Care
Your treatment does not end when the injury is fixed. Through preventative care, we can ensure your spinal health remains optimized and that your chances of a repeat injury stay at a minimum. This can include making small changes to your diet and lifestyle that can overall benefit your health and physical activity.

Dominguez Chiropractic Can Help You No Matter How You Were Hurt
Dominguez Chiropractic sees patients who have suffered injuries from a variety of causes. Though our focus is on car accidents, we can help anyone with spinal trauma, from athletes to construction workers and anyone else in between.
If you have been injured in an automobile accident, you should seek medical care right away. Do not wait days or weeks after your accident to get checked out by a doctor, as you may have conditions that only worsen over time. You would not want to continue with your day-to-day life and wind up aggravating a serious hidden injury.
A medical exam can work not only to promote your wellbeing but also tie your injuries to the accident in question. Later on, if you decide to take legal action, your exam can be used as evidence to bolster your claim.
We help people who have been injured in any one of the following incidents:
- Bike accidents
- Bus accidents
- DUI
- Head-on collisions
- Hit and run
- MARTA accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Rear-end collisions
- Taxi accidents
- Truck accidents
- Uber and Lyft accidents
We can help you no matter what type of accident led to your injury.
The Dominguez Chiropractic Advantage
Dominguez Chiropractic is unique in that we have a medical doctor on staff who is available to see patients the same day they receive chiropractic care. That makes us a Lawrenceville one-stop auto accident shop. Rather than shuttling back and forth between chiropractic and doctor’s appointments, you can take care of both in a single visit.
Our founder, Dr. Barbara Dominguez, does not believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Because your needs are unique, she will take the time to provide individualized care and set you up with a customized treatment plan that addresses your needs and goals.
