Get Evaluated Early for Fast and Effective Injury Recovery
- Early damage is easy to miss – Tiny tears and joint bruises often develop into chronic pain or early arthritis if not treated soon after the crash.
- Whiplash can occur under 10 mph – Research shows neck tissues can exceed their normal range in a gentle rear‑end impact.
- Insurers require documentation – A chiropractic exam with orthopedic and neurological tests helps support both your recovery and any personal‑injury claim.

Frequently asked questions
I felt fine after the accident—do I still need a check‑up?
Yes. Soft‑tissue injuries often appear 24–72 hours later. Early assessment prevents small problems from becoming chronic.
Will the adjustments hurt?
Techniques are matched to your comfort. Most people feel relief and easier movement during or right after treatment.
How soon can I return to normal activities?
Mild strains often settle within two weeks. Disc or nerve issues may need six weeks or more. Your plan includes home exercises to support steady progress.
Does auto insurance cover the cost?
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or Med‑Pay usually pays for necessary care. We bill carriers directly and coordinate with attorneys when needed.
