Comprehensive, Non-Surgical Pain Relief for Auto Injuries in Aiken and Hilton Head Island
A minor fender bender can cause major pain. From neck stiffness and back injuries to nerve damage and chronic headaches, auto accident injuries often go deeper than you think—and symptoms don’t always appear right away.
At Novo Wellness Center, serving Aiken and Hilton Head Island, we specialize in interventional and regenerative treatments that help patients recover from motor vehicle accidents without relying solely on medications or surgery.
If you've been injured in a crash—recently or in the past—here’s what you need to know about your pain, your options, and how we can help.
Even low-speed collisions can jolt the spine and joints beyond their natural range, leading to:
Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
Disc herniation or vertebral misalignment
Facet joint inflammation
Nerve impingement or neuropathy
Concussion-related symptoms (brain fog, migraines)
“Auto injuries often affect multiple layers of tissue—muscles, nerves, joints, and fascia,” explains Dr. William Durrett, Medical Director at Novo Wellness. “Without the right treatment, pain can become chronic, even after imaging shows ‘nothing wrong.’”
Not all pain shows up on day one. Watch for these signs in the hours, days, or weeks after your accident:
Neck or shoulder stiffness
Lower back pain or hip discomfort
Radiating pain, tingling, or numbness
Frequent headaches or jaw pain
Reduced range of motion
Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
Muscle weakness or instability
Even delayed symptoms may be tied to your accident and should be evaluated—especially if they’re getting worse over time.
We take a multimodal approach to healing, focusing on both pain relief and long-term tissue recovery.
Here’s how we support our patients:
We begin with a detailed history and physical exam—often paired with imaging review or referrals if needed. We evaluate the full impact of the injury, not just the site of pain.
These image-guided, minimally invasive procedures offer powerful relief without surgery:
Trigger point injections
Facet joint blocks
Nerve root blocks
Epidural steroid injections
Radiofrequency ablation for chronic joint pain
When appropriate, we may recommend cellular-based treatments to help repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and support long-term healing.
Auto injuries often involve inflammation, stress response, and nutrient depletion. IV therapy with Vitamin C, Magnesium, B-Complex, and Glutathione helps:
Reduce systemic inflammation
Replenish healing nutrients
Support energy and focus
Shorten recovery time
We coordinate with physical therapists, chiropractors, or orthopedic specialists when needed, ensuring a team-based approach to your healing.
Our team understands the paperwork and timing involved in personal injury cases and auto insurance claims. We can work with your legal team or provide supporting documentation for insurance to ensure your treatment is timely and well-coordinated.
We also offer cash-pay options for patients without coverage or those pursuing care beyond what insurance typically allows.
“After my accident, I had terrible lower back pain that radiated down my leg. PT helped a little, but it wasn’t until I had a nerve block at Novo that I could finally sleep again. I’m so thankful for their thorough approach.”

The sooner you address your symptoms, the better your outcome. Early care reduces the risk of long-term issues like scar tissue buildup, nerve hypersensitivity, or chronic compensation patterns.
If you’re still feeling sore, stiff, or exhausted weeks after a crash—your body is telling you it’s time to heal.
