Auto Accident Injury

Injured in an Auto Accident?

A car accident is a scary ordeal and may leave you with more than just a damaged vehicle. Some injuries and pain symptoms from a collision may take days or even weeks to show up.

When these symptoms do show up, it is important that you receive the proper evaluation and treatment. If left unchecked, these injuries could lead to long term, or even permanent damage. Our doctors and staff are ready and able to evaluate your injuries and help you understand all options for care and recovery.

In most cases, you do not need a referral to see a chiropractor after an auto accident. This means you can be assessed and start treatment sooner, without unnecessary delays. You can contact our office directly to schedule an appointment, and our team will be happy to answer any questions and guide you through the process to make getting the care you need as simple as possible.

After an auto accident, chiropractic care is often covered by auto insurance or through an attorney-managed claim, depending on your situation. Coverage can vary, but our team has years of experience working with both insurance providers and legal professionals to make the process simple and stress-free.

Whenever possible, we’ll coordinate directly with your insurance or attorney so you can focus on what matters most — healing and getting back to feeling your best.

It’s best to see a chiropractor as soon as possible after an injury, even if your pain feels mild at first. Some injuries — especially those from car accidents — may not cause immediate discomfort, but underlying issues like muscle strain or spinal misalignment can worsen over time.

Getting evaluated early helps identify these problems before they become more serious and allows you to start treatment right away. Early chiropractic care can reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed up your recovery process.

If you’ve recently been in an accident or suffered an injury, don’t wait — contact our office to schedule an assessment and begin healing sooner.

Yes, chiropractic care is safe for both children and seniors when performed by a trained professional. At Keith Clinic, treatments are always adapted to suit age, body type, and individual health needs. For children, gentle techniques are used to support posture, growth, and healthy spinal development.

For seniors, the focus is on improving mobility, reducing joint stiffness, and easing age-related discomfort through low-force, careful adjustments. Chiropractic care is non-invasive and drug-free, making it a suitable option for all ages when delivered with proper assessment and care.

Chiropractic care can help treat many common auto accident injuries, including whiplash, neck and back pain, muscle strain, joint stiffness, and soft tissue injuries. These conditions can cause pain, limited movement, and headaches — sometimes even days after the accident.

Chiropractors use gentle adjustments and supportive therapies to reduce pain, restore mobility, and help your body heal naturally. Getting evaluated soon after an accident can also prevent minor injuries from becoming long-term problems.

Chiropractic treatment is generally not painful. Most patients describe the adjustments as gentle pressure or a quick, relieving movement that helps release tension. You may hear a small “click” or “pop” sound — this is simply gas being released from the joints, similar to cracking a knuckle, and it’s completely normal. Some people may feel mild soreness after their first session, similar to how you might feel after stretching or starting a new exercise, but this usually fades quickly.

Your comfort is always a priority, and techniques are adjusted to suit your pain level and personal sensitivity.

Recovery time after a car accident depends on the type and severity of your injuries. Chiropractic treatment helps reduce pain, restore movement, and support your body’s natural healing process — so starting care early often leads to faster results. Your doctor will create a plan that fits your specific needs and adjust it as you recover.
