Auto Accident Chiropractor in Charlotte
After an auto accident, it is important to have a spinal examination because even a minor crash can cause an injury.
Even if you feel fine after an accident, it’s important to know that symptoms sometimes do not appear for days, weeks or even months later. By then, it can require more attention and time to correct the problem.
That is why if you have been injured in a car accident, you should have a spinal exam. We work directly with the liability insurance company, your MedPay carrier and attorney, if you have one, so you can simply focus on healing and getting the care you deserve.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during my first visit after a car accident?
During your first appointment, you’ll receive a comprehensive spinal and musculoskeletal evaluation to check for hidden injuries, even if you don’t feel pain yet. This may include reviewing your symptoms, a physical exam, and personalized recommendations for care to help reduce pain and support recovery. Early assessment is important because symptoms from auto injuries like whiplash or soft tissue strain can appear days or weeks after a crash.
Do I need to see a doctor or go to the hospital first?
If you experienced severe or life-threatening injuries (e.g., head trauma, fractures, bleeding), you should seek emergency medical treatment first. For non-emergency symptoms like neck or back pain, chiropractic care can begin without a hospital visit. Chiropractors are trained to assess and treat musculoskeletal injuries typically sustained in auto collisions.
Will my insurance cover chiropractic care after an auto accident?
Many auto insurance plans include coverage for treatment after a car accident, such as Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or MedPay, which can help cover chiropractic care costs. It’s helpful to bring your insurance information and any accident claim numbers to your appointment. Our team can also help coordinate with your insurer to simplify the process.
