Why riders are different

Motorcycle injuries are often worse than they look

A rider is far more exposed than someone in a car. There is no windshield or metal and plastic body to absorb the collision, so you feel the full impact. Even an accident that seems minor can lead to life-altering injuries, and riding regularly can take its own toll through soft tissue damage and spinal misalignment.

Injuries we often see after a motorcycle crash:

  • Skin abrasions and road rash

  • Neck and back injuries

  • Spinal and pelvic misalignment

  • Broken bones

  • Facial and jaw fractures

  • Rider’s arm

Get emergency care first if

  • You think you may have fractured your neck

  • You think you may have fractured your spine

A neck or spine fracture is a medical emergency. Call 911. Once emergency care is done, our chiropractors and physical therapists can help you recover and restore your range of motion.

FAQ

Motorcycle accident questions

Have a question we did not answer? Call 727-726-1460 and our team will help.

Why are motorcycle accident injuries often more serious?

A rider has no windshield or car body for protection, so the full force of the collision reaches your body. Even an accident that looks minor can cause serious, life-altering injuries.

Skin abrasions, facial and jaw fractures, traumatic brain injury, broken bones, spinal and pelvic misalignment, neck and back injuries and rider’s arm. Injuries range from minor to life-altering.

Physical therapy can include soft-tissue massage, cold treatments, therapeutic ultrasound and electrical stimulation for pain control. Our chiropractors use gentle adjustments to realign the neck, and at-home stretches help loosen muscles. When there is no structural damage, many riders recover within a few weeks.

It happens when a rider puts a hand out to soften a fall. The impact can injure the bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles and nerves of the hand, wrist, arm and shoulder.

A neck or spine fracture is a medical emergency, so get emergency care right away. After that, our chiropractors and physical therapists can help you recover and restore your range of motion.

Care is available at our Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Brandon and Tampa offices. The Tampa office is by appointment.
