Seek Help Immediately After a Car Accident
Victims that have been hurt in a car accident often don’t get the proper treatment they deserve. A car crash can heighten the levels of adrenaline and endorphins. A victim may not feel pain immediately, instead, it can come on later. This defers some from seeking treatment immediately following the accident. Many of the treatments are medications done by an urgent care facility. Usually, these facilities are not equipped to deal with underlying physical injury. It’s important to seek help from a specialist that focuses on auto injuries. You want to deal with a clinic that knows what to look for and how to properly treat auto injury cases. Also, dealing with your auto injury claim can be frustrating, especially while you’re in pain. Going to a qualified auto accident injury clinic is the best way to get the treatment and care needed.
Help For All Of The Steps Of Your Recovery
We help with the details by working with you to determine your best recovery plan. There’s no time to wait to get on the road to recovery.
What You Can Expect When Visiting Us
When you visit us for the first time, we will ask you to fill out a patient form so we can learn more about you. This is a routine information request like any healthcare facility would ask for. We ask that you provide us as much accurate information as you can. We want to get a solid understanding of your auto accident and the current condition you are in.
Chiropractic Consultation
Next, our chiropractic doctor will conduct an initial consultation. This is to determine how you are currently feeling. He will ask what symptoms you may be experiencing and answer any questions you may have about our care. In some cases, we may want you to provide us any details from your accident that you can.
Chiropractic Exam
Our doctor will then examine you to see if your particular injury will respond well to our treatment. This exam may test your range of motion, muscle strength, and neurological integrity. It’s possible that X-rays, MRIs, or other laboratory tests will be necessary. If you’ve already had tests done, you will want to bring the results with you for our doctor to examine. We take all the information and work up a custom plan based on your recovery needs.
Chiropractic Treatment Schedule
After the consult and exam, we will schedule a Report of Findings meeting to discuss the results with you. In this meeting, the doctor will go over your X-ray (if necessary) and custom treatment plan. He will then offer you his requirements and recommendations for you. The plan is to achieve your recovery goals. At this point, if you decide that you would like to use us for your recovery, we will build your treatment schedule. You can start as soon as you want. After you’ve started on your plan, we perform a re-exam approximately, every 30 days. This is to determine your progress and future care requirements. We try to be as transparent as possible through your entire healing process. We want to make your experience with us positive and successful.
What if I Have Already Seen a Doctor?
It’s not out of the ordinary that patients we see come to us from other chiropractors, medical doctors, or physical therapists. In this case, if you come in from another doctor or clinic, we require that you sign a release form so we can get your prior records faxed over to us for further understanding of your injury.
“Very friendly staff and doctors, and such a positive environment! They went above and beyond to help me recover after my car accident. My back pain decreased each time I came for a massage and adjustment! Would definitely recommend this Chiropractic office; they are so great at what they do.”

Why See a Chiropractor After a Car Accident?
The forces in even a low-speed collision can stretch or tear the muscles, ligaments, and soft tissue that support your spine — often with no visible sign and no immediate pain. As your body begins to repair that damage, scar tissue forms around the injured joints. Left unaddressed, it can quietly restrict your range of motion and turn into stiffness, headaches, and chronic pain months down the road.
Chiropractic care treats the root of these injuries instead of masking the symptoms. Gentle, targeted adjustments restore normal motion between the spinal joints, limit the buildup of restrictive scar tissue, and support proper healing — without medication or surgery. Because the repair process begins within hours of the accident, the sooner you’re evaluated by a chiropractor who specializes in auto injuries, the better your odds of a full recovery.
