Personal Injury Chiropractic Care in Southern Pines, NC
At Sports Performance Chiropractic, Dr. James Kennedy leads all personal injury care, delivering comprehensive rehabilitation for injuries resulting from auto accidents, falls, and other traumatic events. Structured as one-on-one, 60-minute sessions, our approach blends soft tissue work, corrective movement, chiropractic adjustments, and functional rehabilitation to restore quality of life—without reliance on surgery or medication.
We focus on early intervention—even when symptoms appear delayed—to address underlying issues and prevent long-term dysfunction following auto accidents or personal injury incidents.
Why Early Intervention Matters
Injuries from accidents or falls may not present immediately. Symptoms like stiffness, pain, or reduced mobility can develop days or weeks later. Early chiropractic intervention helps detect and resolve underlying neuromuscular and structural imbalances, which supports natural recovery, minimizes chronic issues, and optimizes functional restoration.

Every new personal injury patient receives a full one-on-one evaluation conducted by Dr. James Kennedy, DC, CSCS, including:

- Movement, postural, and functional screening
- Joint and soft tissue palpation and motion tests
- Imaging referral as needed to clarify injury severity
Dr. Kennedy combines chiropractic, rehabilitation, and movement-analyzed diagnostics to build customized recovery plans based on each patient’s clinical needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic effective for personal injury recovery?
Yes—manual therapy, joint alignment, and corrective movement are effective in reducing pain, restoring mobility, and supporting healing in many personal injury cases, especially when applied early and consistently.
What if symptoms appeared days after the incident?
That’s common. Delayed symptoms such as stiffness or discomfort often reflect soft tissue or neuromuscular dysfunction that benefits from early assessment and treatment.
Do you bill insurance directly for personal injuries?
No. We operate on a cash-based model, providing itemized receipts so patients may submit for out-of-network reimbursement. This model supports more meaningful care and fewer overall visits.
How soon will I feel better?
Many patients experience improved motion and reduced discomfort within a few visits. Individual recovery varies based on injury severity and adherence to rehabilitation recommendations.
