Expert Care for Auto Accident Injuries

Our approach to auto accident care is thorough and personalized. We begin with a detailed examination to assess the full extent of your injuries, which may include whiplash and neck pain, back injuries, shoulder and arm pain, headaches and migraines, and soft tissue injuries.

Using advanced diagnostic tools, including X-rays when necessary, we develop a complete picture of your condition to guide your care and recovery.

Tailored Care Plans for Best Results

Every accident is unique, and so is every practice member. We create customized care plans that may include:

  • Gentle spinal adjustments to realign the spine
  • Soft tissue therapy to address muscle and ligament injuries

Our goal is to relieve your pain, restore your body to its pre-accident condition, and prevent long-term complications.

Our care doesn’t end when your immediate symptoms subside. We provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure your complete recovery and help prevent future problems related to your accident.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident?
  • Stay Safe: Stop your vehicle and ensure the scene is safe.
  • Call for Help: Dial 911 if there are injuries and notify the police, especially in hit-and-run cases.
  • Gather Information: Collect names, contact details, and insurance information from everyone involved, including witnesses.
  • Document the Scene: Use your phone to photograph damage, traffic signs, and other relevant details.
  • Leave a Note: If you can’t locate the owner of a damaged car or damaged property, leave a note with the names and addresses of the driver and owners of the involved cars.
  • Notify Your Insurance: Contact your insurer promptly to report the accident.
  • File Necessary Reports: Report the accident to the DMV if anyone is injured or damages exceed $750.

Should I See a Chiropractor After an Accident?

Yes, that’s because even if you feel fine initially, injuries like whiplash may take days to appear. If you don’t seek care early, symptoms such as neck pain, dizziness, or headaches can worsen. Seeing a chiropractor within the first two weeks can help prevent chronic issues and aid recovery.

Will Auto Insurance Cover Chiropractic Care?

Auto insurance coverage for chiropractic care after an accident varies depending on your policy and the circumstances of the accident. Here are some key points to consider:
Check Your Coverage: Personal Injury Protection (PIP) covers medical expenses, including chiropractic care, regardless of fault. Verify limits and session caps with your insurer. Medical Payments Coverage (MedPay) is similar to PIP; this can help with chiropractic costs. Confirm specifics with your provider.

Out-of-Pocket Costs: Even with insurance, you may have copays or deductibles. Discuss fees and payment options with your chiropractor upfront.

Switching Chiropractors: You can switch chiropractors if you’re not satisfied, but notify your insurer to avoid claim issues.

Act Quickly: Seek care promptly after the accident to support your recovery and prevent long-term complications.

Confirm Details: Contact your insurance company to confirm coverage and ensure your chosen chiropractor is in-network.

Keep Records: Maintain detailed records of injuries and treatments to streamline insurance claims.

If Coverage is Limited: If your auto insurance does not cover chiropractic care, you may be able to seek coverage under the protection of a competent attorney and lien on your case.

What Forms of Payment Do You Accept?

We accept cash, medical payments, and lien payments through a qualified attorney.

What Can I Expect During My First Chiropractic Appointment?

Your first visit includes a thorough exam, potential X-rays to identify injuries, and possibly your first adjustment. Dr. Hulbert will tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs.

What Types of Chiropractic Adjustments Are Used for Auto Accident Injuries?

We use a variety of techniques that are unique to the patient. Not all patients are built the same, which is why our chiropractor uses multiple techniques: manual, the use of a movable or “drop” table, the Impulse adjusting instrument, plus laser and spinal decompression, which are routinely used in the office.
How Many Visits Will I Need?
The number of visits varies based on your injuries, age, and recovery goals. While some patients recover fully, others may benefit from long-term care.

Will Chiropractic Care Help with Pain, Stiffness, and Headaches?

Yes! Many patients feel relief after the first visit. Beyond pain management, chiropractic care focuses on restoring alignment and preventing long-term damage.

Do I Need a Police Report After an Accident?

If possible, yes. If police cannot respond, file a report online or in person. Gather witness information when available.

What Information Should I Provide to My Insurance Company?

Share details like:

  • Your contact information
  • Date, time, and location of the accident
  • Information about involved parties, injuries, and vehicle damage

Avoid admitting fault when speaking to your insurer.

How Do I File a Claim for Chiropractic Care?

  1. Gather documentation of your treatments.
  2. Verify your insurance benefits.
  3. Submit a completed claim form with supporting documents.
  4. Follow up to ensure processing.

We can assist with this process and recommend an attorney if needed.
