Pedestrian Accident Chiropractor in Atlanta, GA
Looking for a pedestrian accident chiropractor Atlanta patients can turn to after being struck by a vehicle? Metro Atlanta Injury & Wellness Center provides chiropractic and rehabilitative care for pedestrians injured in car, truck, rideshare, and other motor vehicle collisions.
Pedestrian accidents can cause significant musculoskeletal injuries involving the neck, back, shoulders, hips, knees, and other areas of the body. Our team evaluates each patient, documents clinical findings, provides appropriate conservative treatment, and coordinates diagnostic imaging or specialist referrals when clinically necessary.
Chiropractic Care After a Pedestrian Accident
Pedestrians can experience substantial force when struck by a moving vehicle, even at relatively low speeds. Injuries may affect multiple areas of the body and symptoms do not always appear immediately after the collision.
Our chiropractors evaluate pain, mobility, tenderness, range of motion, muscle tension, and other musculoskeletal findings before developing an individualized treatment plan.
Treatment may include chiropractic care, rehabilitative exercise, mobility work, stretching, and other conservative therapies based on the patient’s injuries and tolerance for care.
Common Injuries After a Pedestrian Accident
Pedestrian accidents may cause neck pain, back pain, whiplash, shoulder injuries, hip pain, knee pain, muscle strains, joint stiffness, reduced mobility, and other musculoskeletal problems.
Some patients also experience headaches, numbness, tingling, weakness, dizziness, or neurological symptoms that may require additional evaluation beyond routine chiropractic care.

Neck and Back Pain After Being Hit by a Car
Neck and back pain are common concerns after pedestrian accidents because the body may be struck directly by the vehicle, thrown to the ground, or forced into sudden twisting or bending movements.
We evaluate the affected areas and determine whether conservative chiropractic and rehabilitative care is appropriate. Treatment recommendations depend on the patient’s symptoms, examination findings, and overall injury pattern.
Diagnostic Imaging and Specialist Referrals
Pedestrian accident injuries sometimes require additional diagnostic evaluation. When clinically appropriate, we can refer patients for MRI or CT imaging of the brain, neck, back, shoulders, hips, or other injured areas.
We can also coordinate referrals for concussion evaluation, suspected ligament instability, neurology, orthopedics, trauma-focused therapy, and other specialist care when examination findings or symptoms indicate that further assessment is needed.
Patients with symptoms that may involve head injury can also review our traumatic brain injury chiropractor Atlanta page to learn more about our referral process.

Metro Atlanta Injury & Wellness Center is Colossus-trained for personal injury documentation. We maintain records of patient symptoms, examination findings, treatment recommendations, progress, imaging referrals, specialist referrals, and other relevant clinical information.
