Auto Accident Injuries
Comprehensive chiropractic care to help you recover from automobile accident injuries naturally.
Recovery After an Accident
If you have been involved in an automobile accident, you may be experiencing pain and disability from injuries sustained during the crash, along with a reduced ability to perform the activities of daily living. Chiropractic care is a highly effective way to alleviate pain and aid the healing process, addressing whiplash, soft tissue damage, and spinal misalignment. We routinely coordinate with attorneys and law firms and are experienced with the detailed documentation of functional deficits that complex auto personal injury protection (PIP) claims require.

On-Site X-Rays & Advanced Imaging
Our offices are equipped with on-site digital X-rays, so we can capture the images we need to evaluate your injuries right away. When advanced imaging such as an MRI is clinically indicated, we can order it when appropriate - advanced imaging is recommended based on medical necessity, guided by your symptoms, history, and examination findings.
Common Questions
When should I see a chiropractor after an accident, even if I don't feel pain right away?
As soon as possible. Delayed symptoms are common after an auto accident - some injuries may not show up immediately, so a prompt evaluation helps identify them and lets early treatment prevent them from becoming chronic conditions.
What types of injuries can a chiropractor treat after an auto accident?
We commonly evaluate and treat musculoskeletal injuries such as whiplash, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, headaches, and soft tissue injuries resulting from the impact of a motor vehicle collision.
Can chiropractors order advanced imaging, such as MRIs?
Yes. When clinically appropriate, chiropractors can order advanced diagnostic imaging, including MRIs, to help evaluate certain conditions affecting the spine, joints, muscles, or nerves. Advanced imaging is typically recommended only when a patient's symptoms, history, or examination findings indicate additional information is needed to make an accurate diagnosis or guide treatment.
How quickly can auto-injury patients be scheduled?
Typically the same week. We prioritize auto-injury patients so injuries can be documented and care can begin as soon as possible.
Will my auto insurance or personal injury protection (PIP) cover chiropractic care?
Many auto insurance policies provide benefits for medically necessary chiropractic treatment following an accident. Coverage depends on your policy - contact our office and we can help you understand your benefits.
What should I expect during my first visit after a car accident?
We review your accident history, perform a physical examination, assess your injuries, discuss your symptoms, and recommend a personalized treatment plan when care is appropriate.
How can chiropractic documentation support a personal injury claim?
Our records provide detailed documentation of a patient's injuries, examination findings, functional deficits, treatment plan, and progress, which can help establish the extent and impact of the injury.
Do you work directly with personal injury attorneys and law firms?
Yes. We routinely collaborate with attorneys by providing timely records, responding to documentation requests, and communicating about a patient's treatment status while maintaining patient confidentiality.
