AUTO ACCIDENT CARE
Automotive Chiropractic Care
Automotive chiropractic care treats injuries caused by car accidents — from whiplash and herniated discs to chronic pain that develops weeks after a collision. Our corrective approach identifies hidden structural damage early, prevents long-term complications, and supports your full recovery without surgery or medication.
Car accidents generate tremendous force on the human body, even at low speeds. The sudden impact causes the head, neck, and spine to move in ways they were never designed to, stretching ligaments, compressing discs, misaligning vertebrae, and irritating nerves. Many of these injuries don’t produce immediate pain — symptoms often appear days or weeks after the accident, by which time significant damage may have already set in.
Why Early Evaluation Matters
The most common mistake after a car accident is waiting to see if pain develops on its own. Structural injuries like whiplash, disc herniations, and spinal misalignment can worsen over time if left untreated. Early evaluation with diagnostic imaging allows us to identify damage before it becomes a chronic problem — and begin treatment when your body is most responsive to correction.
Our Approach to Auto Injury Recovery
Every auto accident patient begins with a thorough evaluation including health history, orthopedic and neurological examination, postural analysis, and digital X-rays when clinically indicated. We document all findings carefully — both for your treatment plan and for any insurance or legal proceedings.
Treatment is tailored to your specific injuries and may include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression therapy, therapeutic exercises, and soft tissue rehabilitation. Our corrective approach focuses on restoring structural alignment and proper function, not just masking symptoms with medication.
Insurance and PIP Coverage
Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance covers chiropractic care after an auto accident. Under Florida law, you must seek medical attention within 14 days of your accident to qualify for PIP benefits. Our office handles PIP billing directly so you can focus on your recovery without worrying about upfront costs.
