Car Accident Chiropractor in Charlotte, NC: Dr. Justin Dick's Personal Injury Care From Steele Creek to Fort Mill
Clear Life Scoliosis and Chiropractic Center sits on Rachel Freeman Way in southwest Charlotte, close to the South Carolina line. Collision patients come from across Mecklenburg County and from York County, SC. This page covers what care looks like, who it is for, and how lien-based care works.
Dr. Justin Dick's clinical work is split between non-surgical scoliosis rehabilitation and personal injury. The two share the same discipline: grading injuries with published systems, imaging when a decision rule says to, and documenting change over time.
What a First Visit Includes
A full history of the collision and symptom timeline, an orthopedic and neurological exam, a whiplash grade using the Quebec Task Force classification (Spitzer et al., Spine 1995, PMID 7604354), and an imaging decision made with the Canadian C-Spine Rule (Stiell et al., JAMA 2001, PMID 11597285). Patients leave with a care plan and a clear explanation of what was found and what was not.

Who This Care Is For
Drivers and passengers injured in car, truck, and rideshare collisions with neck pain, back pain, headache, arm or leg symptoms, or jaw pain after the crash. Patients with fractures, dislocations, or progressive neurological deficits are referred to emergency or surgical care first.
What to Expect From Recovery
Recovery after whiplash-type injuries varies. A Bone and Joint Decade Task Force review reported that a substantial share of patients still have neck pain a year after injury, with higher initial pain and disability among the more consistent predictors of slow recovery (Carroll et al., Spine 2008, PMID 18204405). I set expectations from that evidence, not from marketing.
Evidence Tier
The grading and imaging tools used here are supported by large validation studies. Dr. Justin Dick's collision publication is a single case report, the lowest tier of clinical evidence: Refractory Lumbar Pain Following MVA in a Geriatric Patient. The full list is on the research page.
