Injury Recovery Center in Basalt, CO
Comprehensive Chiropractic Care for Auto, Sports, and Work Injuries
In the Roaring Fork Valley, an injury does more than just cause pain—it interrupts your life. Whether you were in a car accident, rear-ended on Highway 82, tweaked your knee skiing Snowmass, or hurt your back at work, Spine Spot Chiropractic is your partner in recovery.
Located in Willits Town Center, Dr. James Fraser provides non-surgical, evidence-based care to help you heal faster and stronger. We don't just mask the pain with medication; we restore the structural integrity of your body.
👨⚕️ The Spine Spot Approach to Injury
"Fix the Structure, Heal the Function."
Dr. Fraser, a Palmer College graduate with over 140,000 adjustments performed, uses a specific 3-phase approach for all injury cases:
- Acute Phase (Pain Relief): We use gentle adjustments and Cold Laser Therapy to shut down inflammation and reduce muscle spasms immediately.
- Corrective Phase (Structural Repair): We utilize the Gonstead System and Spinal Decompression to realign shifted vertebrae and take pressure off damaged nerves.
- Strengthening Phase (Prevention): We provide rehab exercises to stabilize the injured area, ensuring you don't relapse 6 months later.
🚗 Auto Accident & Whiplash Recovery
Don't Wait Until It Hurts. Even a minor "fender bender" at 10 mph can cause significant whiplash trauma to the cervical spine. Symptoms like headaches, neck stiffness, and brain fog often don't appear for days or weeks after the crash.
- What We Treat: Whiplash, seatbelt injuries, concussions, and lumbar sprains.
- Why Us: We work with your auto insurance and personal injury attorneys to document your care properly while you focus on healing.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions regarding Injuries
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor for an injury?
No. In Colorado, chiropractors are primary care providers for musculoskeletal injuries. You can schedule directly with Dr. Fraser without a referral from your GP.
How soon after an injury should I be seen?
Ideally, within 24-48 hours. Even if you don't feel severe pain yet, getting checked early can prevent scar tissue from forming and reduce your long-term recovery time.
