Episode 10: Recover Faster, Heal Smarter: How Dr. Gill’s Chiropractic Care After an Accident Rebuilds Your Body
Healing Beyond the Pop: How Chiropractic Care Can Be the Missing Link in Your Recovery
By Sherry Sutton | Heart of the Hustle Show
Here’s something most people don’t realize: healing doesn’t start with pills or surgery—it starts with understanding how your body is actually trying to help you. And sometimes, all it needs is a reset.
That’s where Dr. Gill comes in.
When Dr. Gill joined me on Heart of the Hustle, we had a conversation that went way beyond the usual "chiropractic care" chatter. We talked about the real journey patients go through after an accident. The emotional toll. The confusion with insurance. And most of all, how the right kind of care can give you back control.
I work with entrepreneurs and experts every day, and here’s the truth: if your body is holding tension, your work will feel heavy. And if you’re recovering from trauma—whether that’s a car crash or just years of stress sitting at a desk—it’s time to get support that’s actually designed for you.
What Makes Dr. Gill’s Approach Different
Let’s be honest: we’ve all heard the jokes about chiropractors—you go once and you’re locked in for life. But what Dr. Gill offers is the opposite of dependency. It’s a plan to get you from pain to power.
He doesn’t just crack your back and wish you luck. His clinic walks you through a three-phase system that’s practical, non-invasive, and designed for real life.
And for many of his patients—especially those recovering from car accidents—this approach can be the bridge between chaos and confidence.
Phase One: Calm the Chaos
Most people come in with pain and tension layered on top of each other. Dr. Gill’s first priority is getting your body to chill out.
That looks like:
Deep trigger point massage (not your spa variety)
Cupping to move stuck energy and tension
E-Stim to release muscle spasms
Red light laser therapy (yes, the same tech used by pro athletes)
This first phase is like damage control. Whether you’ve just been rear-ended, or you’ve spent the last 10 years hunched over a laptop, your nervous system is on high alert. You can’t build strength or change habits until your body feels safe enough to relax.
It’s the difference between surviving and healing.
Phase Two: Movement That Heals
Once your body isn’t screaming at you, it’s time to get it moving. But not just any movement. We’re talking about thoughtful, therapeutic, and sustainable actions.
Think:
Mobility and stretching tailored to your daily life
Posture correction (especially if you’ve been working hunched over a laptop)
Coaching on how to rework your desk setup so it’s not working against you
This part is a game changer because it gives people ownership of their healing. No more guessing. Just simple tools you can build into your life.
And it’s where people start to see their pain story shift. Instead of saying “I can’t,” they start saying, “I feel strong enough to try.”
Phase Three: Build Strength That Lasts
This is where Dr. Gill’s method really stands out. He helps patients create strength from the inside out:
Core and spinal strengthening so your body supports itself
Balance and endurance that fits your lifestyle
Home-friendly routines so you’re not stuck in a rehab loop forever
The goal here isn’t perfection—it’s progress. It’s about being able to walk farther, carry your kids without pain, or return to your workouts without fear.
And let’s talk about empowerment: there’s something powerful about knowing you’re not just pain-free, but that you’ve rebuilt your foundation. Your spine is stable. Your muscles support you. You can trust your body again.
Why This Matters to You (Especially If You’re Building a Brand)
As a content strategist and podcast producer, I’ve seen what happens when people push through pain because they “don’t have time” to deal with it. The tension shows up on camera. The discomfort creeps into your voice. You start losing the energy that makes your story powerful.
You might think you can power through it—after all, you’ve done it before. But the truth is, the cost is compounding. That low-grade neck pain? It makes you fidget in meetings. The shoulder tension? It slows you down while filming reels or recording your podcast. The exhaustion? It steals your creative spark and your confidence.
And it’s not just physical. It affects your mindset. Pain makes us retreat. It makes us question our message, delay our launches, and show up with less presence than we know we’re capable of.
When you take care of your body—especially after something as destabilizing as an accident—you’re not just healing physically. You’re giving yourself the capacity to lead, create, and show up with power again. You’re reclaiming your voice, your vision, and your ability to communicate it with impact.
That absolutely affects your business. It affects your storytelling. It affects how people receive you and trust you.
Because your presence is your brand. And you can’t fully embody your message if you’re stuck in survival mode. Healing allows you to operate from a place of clarity, connection, and confidence—and that’s when your audience really listens.
Why Dr. Gill’s Approach Resonates With Entrepreneurs
Here’s the thing I love most about Dr. Gill’s story: he didn’t start in chiropractic. He was on track to become a pharmacist. But he realized that healing through medication wasn’t the path for him. He wanted to help people get off pills—not stay on them for life.
That entrepreneurial spirit—the pivot, the purpose, the desire to build something truly helpful—that’s exactly what we celebrate on Heart of the Hustle.
And if you’re a mission-driven founder, creator, or expert? This kind of care is the missing piece that helps you sustain your impact long-term.
What Happens If You Don’t Get Checked After an Accident?
Dr. Gill shared something during our interview that really stuck with me:
"Even if you feel fine right after a crash, your body may be hiding trauma that shows up later—chronic pain, numbness, stiffness, or fatigue."
And it’s not just a theory—it’s reality. I’ve seen this play out so many times. People walk away from an accident thinking they dodged a bullet. A week later, they’re sore. A month later, they’re stiff. Six months later, they’re dealing with migraines, shooting pains, or nerve issues that seem to come out of nowhere.
Here’s the problem: when you wait too long to get checked, those micro-injuries don’t just vanish. They compound. Your body adapts around the pain—compensates in other areas. Your posture shifts. Your gait changes. And all of a sudden, what started as a tiny misalignment becomes a full-blown problem affecting everything from your sleep to your energy levels.
This is especially critical if you’re juggling the demands of leadership or entrepreneurship. You can’t afford to be sidelined by pain, and you definitely can’t afford to let your health slowly decline while you’re building something big.
That’s why proactive care is so powerful. You’re not just avoiding pain—you’re creating a safety net that keeps you strong, focused, and energized for the long haul.
This blog isn’t a scare tactic—it’s a nudge to listen to your body sooner. To stop waiting for pain to get worse before you get the care you need. Because healing is always easier when you catch it early—and your future self will thank you for it.
