There is No Risk to see what we can do for you

You didn’t expect to be in a car accident—but now your body hurts, even if the crash seemed minor. That soreness in your neck, back, or shoulders might not be going away. What now?

At Westport Chiropractic & Rehab, we treat patients every week who’ve been in car accidents. Whether you were rear-ended or in a more serious collision, chiropractic care can help you recover safely and fully.
