Truck accidents cause higher-force injuries that don’t always show up right away and require specialized care and documentation.
Why Truck Accident Injuries Are Different & Pain Doesn’t “Go Away”
You Need a Specialist After an 18-Wheeler or Semi-Truck Crash
🔻 Truck crashes create much higher forces and more severe injuries than regular car accidents
🔻 Symptoms often show up 24–72 hours later
🔻 Disc, nerve, and soft-tissue injuries are commonly missed in ER/X-ray
🔻 Commercial insurance companies scrutinize documentation more aggressively
🔻 Getting checked quickly protects your case and speeds recovery
What Is Considered a Truck, Semi-Truck, or 18-Wheeler Accident?
🚛 Semi-Trucks
🚛 18-Wheelers
🚛 Tractor-Trailers
🚛 Big Rigs
🚛 Box Trucks (U-Haul, Ryder, Penske)
🚛 Dump Trucks
🚛 Tow Trucks
🚛 Garbage/Waste Trucks
🚛 Cement/Concrete Trucks
🚛 Flatbed Trucks
→ Large, heavy vehicles that create major force and high-impact injuries.
Truck accidents involve large, heavy commercial vehicles that create far greater force than a standard car crash. Collisions with semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, big rigs, box trucks, dump trucks, and other heavy-duty vehicles often cause deeper soft-tissue damage, disc injuries, nerve irritation, and longer recovery times. If your crash involved any of these vehicles, it qualifies as a truck accident and requires specialized chiropractic care and precise personal-injury documentation.
What Is Not Considered a Truck Accident?
Accidents involving delivery vans, company cars, service vehicles, sprinter vans, or smaller commercial vehicles fall under Commercial Vehicle Accidents, not truck accidents. If your collision involved a delivery driver, company car, or work vehicle, visit our Commercial Accident Chiropractic page. And if you’re still not sure — no problem. Give us a call or book a $0 out-of-pocket consultation so we can point you in the right direction.
Common Symptoms After a Truck or 18-Wheeler Accident
Truck collisions often cause deeper soft-tissue and nerve injuries than regular crashes — even when vehicles don’t look badly damaged. You may experience:
🔻Neck pain, stiffness, or difficulty turning your head
🔻Whiplash
🔻Sharp or burning pain in your back
🔻Headaches or migraines
🔻Pain radiating into your arms or legs
🔻Numbness, tingling, or weakness
🔻Shoulder blade or mid-back pain
🔻Hip or pelvic misalignment after impact
🔻Severe muscle tightness or spasms
🔻Dizziness, fogginess, or trouble concentrating
🔻Pain that worsens over 24–72 hours
These injuries rarely show up on X-rays alone — a trucking-injury specialist can identify the deeper ligament, disc, and nerve damage often missed in the ER.

We tailor your chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue therapies, decompression, and rehab exercises to your unique exam findings, including disc injuries, ligament sprains, nerve irritation, whiplash patterns, and mid-back or low-back trauma.

Dr. Melot’s Personal Car Accident Injury Story
Dr. Melot Understands Your Truck Accident Pain
In 2022, Dr. Melot, his wife, and their two young children were struck head-on by a teenager driving 70 mph. The impact was violent, sudden, and completely life-altering.
In the days and weeks that followed, he experienced the same challenges many Cedar Park families face after a serious crash:
Not knowing what to do immediately after the accident
Worrying about injuries that don’t appear right away
Feeling overwhelmed by insurance, claims, and paperwork
Dealing with delayed pain from whiplash and soft-tissue trauma
Carrying the emotional weight of protecting his injured family
Because he lived through this both as a chiropractor and as a husband and father, Dr. Melot brings a deeper level of compassion, understanding, and expertise to every patient he treats. His own personal-injury journey is what drives his commitment to helping Cedar Park families heal fully — physically, emotionally, and with proper legal documentation to protect their case.
Whether your truck accident was minor or involved a high-speed collision with a semi-truck or 18-wheeler, Dr. Melot is committed to giving every truck-injury patient:
The focused time and attention your injuries require
Clear explanations so you understand exactly what the impact did to your spine, discs, and soft tissues
A treatment plan tailored specifically to high-force truck accident injuries
Compassionate, patient-first care from start to finish
Precise personal-injury documentation required for commercial insurance and attorney cases
When your chiropractor has personally lived through the pain, fear, and confusion that follow a crash, they simply care differently — and that’s why so many Cedar Park truck accident patients trust Dr. Melot with their recovery.
“I don’t just treat whiplash and auto injuries — I’ve personally experienced the pain and recovery.”
Because Dr. Melot has lived through a serious collision himself, he brings a level of empathy to his patients that can’t be taught in school. He knows exactly what Cedar Park accident patients feel:
✔️ Pain that moves from your neck to your back without explanation
✔️ Stiffness that hits hardest at night or first thing in the morning
✔️ Headaches that linger for days
✔️ Anxiety about getting behind the wheel again
✔️ The pressure of trying to care for your family while healing yourself
That experience motivated him to create Car Accident Chiropractic in Cedar Park—a clinic built on compassion, gentle care, and thorough treatment plans designed for real recovery, not quick appointments or assembly-line care.
