Hurt in a Car
Accident or Injury?
Personal injury chiropractic care in West Des
Moines. Get checked before it gets worse.
Neck, back and joint pain often show up a day or two after a
collision or a fall, long after the adrenaline has worn off. Dr. Caleb
Sneller will examine you, find out where the pain is actually coming
from, and build a plan around getting you moving again.

After an accident
Pain doesn’t always show up right away
Adrenaline can hide an injury for hours or days. Get checked within 72 hours if you can,
even if you felt fine at the scene, because a long gap between the accident and your first
visit is the most common reason an insurer later questions a claim. If something feels off
after a crash, a fall, or a sports or work injury, it is worth having it looked at.
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Headaches
- Lower back pain
- Shoulder or upper back pain
- Sciatica or leg pain
- Hip, knee or ankle pain
- Limited range of motion
Severe pain, spreading numbness, chest pain, or loss of bladder control need emergency care first. Call 911
or go to the ER, then come see us for follow-up.
Our care
Care built around how your body moves
We start with a thorough evaluation to find not only where it hurts but why, then
choose the right mix of care for you.
Chiropractic adjustments
Used where appropriate to restore joint motion, improve mobility and help
reduce pain, alongside exercise and education.
Soft tissue therapy
Hands-on work for strained, tight or irritated muscles
that are holding you back.
Spinal decompression
A non-invasive option for herniated or bulging discs
and sciatica, often paired with adjustments.
Laser light therapy
Focused light energy used to help reduce pain and
inflammation and support natural healing.
Exercises and education
Movement you can do at home, so you take an active
role in your own recovery rather than relying on the table.
Work and sports injury care
Lifting strains, repetitive injuries and the pulls that
come from getting back to activity too quickly.

Meet your doctor
Dr. Caleb Sneller
Dr. Caleb Sneller graduated with High Honors from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2022, after a B.S.
in Biology from Iowa State University. He then spent three years in a multidisciplinary clinic in Sioux
City, working day to day alongside physical therapists and a medical doctor.
That matters more than it sounds for injury care. Working in a building with physical therapists and a
physician means knowing what a case needs before it stalls, when imaging is worth ordering, and
when the honest answer is a referral rather than another appointment.

Questions
Common questions
after an injury
Can’t find your answer? Call our front desk at (515) 267-1600
How soon should I be seen?
Within 72 hours if you can. Soft tissue injuries often do not hurt until the second or third day, and a long gap
between the accident and your first visit is the most common reason an insurer later argues the injury was not
caused by it. If you have severe pain, spreading numbness, chest pain or any loss of bladder control, go to the
emergency room first.
What does the free screening include?
A short visit with Dr. Sneller to talk through how the injury happened and what you are feeling now, plus a look at how you are moving. You leave knowing whether chiropractic care is a good fit, or whether another type of care would serve you better.
Do you work with insurance or auto claims?
Yes. We work with personal injury and auto accident cases, workers’ compensation claims and a wide range of insurance plans. Coverage and paperwork vary by claim, so call our front desk and we will help you understand what we need before your visit.
Will I have to keep coming forever?
No. After your exam you get a realistic timeframe based on your findings and goals. Care is focused on getting you moving and back to normal activity, with exercises you can do at home so you are not relying on the table.
Is chiropractic care safe?
For most people, yes. Every plan starts with a thorough history and exam, and adjustments are only used where appropriate. If your exam points to something that needs imaging or another provider, we will tell you and refer you.
