Motor vehicle collisions
We assess symptoms and functional changes following a crash.
ACCIDENTS & INJURIES
Understand the injury.
Understand the injury.
Know the next step.
Motor vehicle collisions, slips and falls, and sports impacts can place sudden force on the spine and joints. We start with what happened—and what the examination shows.
WHY THE DETAILS MATTER
The force matters.
The force matters.
So do the findings.
Blunt-force trauma means a sudden impact or force to the body. It can affect muscles, ligaments, discs, nerves, bones, and joints. The type of event alone does not tell us which structures were injured.
We review your symptoms, injury history, physical findings, and any prior conditions to understand what care or further testing is appropriate.

Understand the event
We review how the injury happened, your symptoms, and your history.
Examine and document
We assess movement, strength, joint function, and neurologic findings as needed.
Use imaging when needed
X-rays, MRI, or referral for other testing may be appropriate based on the history and examination.
Explain the plan
We discuss conservative care, follow-up, or referral to another medical professional.
DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING

a closer look.
Imaging can help answer specific questions about an injury. X-rays can help assess bones. MRI can provide more detail about discs, ligaments, nerves, and other soft tissues.
Not every injury needs an X-ray or MRI. We consider imaging when the history, symptoms, and examination support it. Suspected serious injuries call for urgent medical evaluation and appropriate testing.
EXPERIENCE THAT INFORMS OUR CAREFrom the athletic field
From the athletic field
to the clinic.
As a former Division I baseball player at Penn State, Dr. Bryan Voithofer experienced injuries firsthand. That experience helped shape his interest in careful assessment, diagnostic imaging, and long-term joint function.
His chiropractic education, clinical experience, additional MRI training, and collaboration with medical specialists inform his evaluation of each patient.
OUR GOALFind the problem.

Every care plan starts with the individual—not a preset conclusion about an injury.
