Cheney runs on its own clock. Fall Saturdays mean Eastern Washington University football traffic backing up along SR-904, students biking between apartments and Showalter Hall, and a downtown that still feels like a small town even as the campus keeps growing around it. That same stretch of SR-904 connecting Cheney to Spokane is also where a lot of the collisions affecting Cheney residents actually happen — commuter traffic, campus move-in weekends, winter ice on the open road between the two communities. When a wreck happens on that corridor, or anywhere else around Cheney, the aftermath doesn't always show up right away.
Car Injury Centre works with people from Cheney whose bodies are dealing with the aftermath of a collision, whether that's a fender-bender in a campus parking lot, a rear-end collision on 1st Street, or something more serious out on the highway. Neck stiffness, headaches, back pain, and reduced range of motion are common after a crash, and they don't always announce themselves the day it happens. For students juggling a course load, staff keeping the university running, or longtime Cheney residents just trying to get back to normal life, unresolved pain can quietly become a bigger problem than it needed to be.
Cheney is a tight-knit community, and a lot of its residents — students especially — are living away from their usual support system for the first time. That can make it harder to know where to turn after an accident, or to justify the time it takes to deal with it. Our clinic focuses on chiropractic care and therapeutic massage aimed at addressing musculoskeletal pain and restricted mobility that often follow vehicle collisions, with a calm, unhurried approach that doesn't feel like just another item on a checklist.
We see the full range of people who call Cheney home: EWU students without a car of their own who carpool in with a roommate, faculty and staff commuting the SR-904 corridor daily, and families who've lived in Cheney for generations. Whatever your situation, our approach is to listen first, assess thoroughly, and build a care plan suited to your specific symptoms and schedule — not a one-size-fits-all routine.
Our clinic sits at 3010 S Southeast Blvd, Unit F, in Spokane — a straightforward drive from Cheney via SR-904, the same route that connects the two communities every day. It's a route many Cheney residents already know well from commuting, running errands, or heading into Spokane for other appointments, so adding a visit to us doesn't mean navigating unfamiliar roads.
We understand that fitting appointments around a class schedule, a work shift at the university, or family obligations takes some planning, especially when you're coming from outside Spokane proper. Our team works with patients to find appointment times that make the drive worthwhile, and we're happy to talk through logistics — including how a course of care might be structured to minimize how many trips you need to make — when you first reach out.
Every collision is different, and so is every recovery. Some people need a handful of visits to feel like themselves again; others need a longer course of chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy to fully address stiffness, pain, or reduced mobility. We won't promise a specific outcome or timeline, because bodies and injuries vary — but we will promise an honest assessment and a plan built around what you're actually experiencing, not a generic template.
If you're in Cheney and dealing with pain, tightness, or limited movement after a car accident — whether it happened on SR-904, somewhere around campus, or anywhere else — we'd like to help you figure out the next step. Reach out to Car Injury Centre at (509) 724-6919 or carinjurycentre@gmail.com to ask questions or schedule a visit. We're easy to reach from Cheney, and we're ready to listen.
Yes. Our Spokane clinic is a direct drive from Cheney and the EWU campus via SR-904, a route many students, faculty, and staff already use regularly for commuting or errands.
Many of our Cheney-area patients carpool or coordinate rides with roommates or classmates for the drive in. When you contact us, let us know your situation and we'll work with you on scheduling to make visits as manageable as possible.
Some soreness or stiffness from a collision doesn't show up until hours or days later, even after a minor incident. It's reasonable to get evaluated so any discomfort can be addressed early rather than left unaddressed.
Take the next step toward better mobility, pain relief, and recovery.
