“From my first visit, the team took the time to explain my injuries, answer all of my questions, and create a treatment plan that fit my needs. Over the next several weeks, my neck and back pain improved significantly. Highly recommend Keith Clinic to anyone recovering from a car accident.”
“After getting into a car accident by a guy who fell asleep at the wheel, my lawyer highly recommended Keith Clinic. I was beyond blessed to be introduced to Dr. Arnold. He has wonderful bedside manner and always makes you feel at home when he enters the room. We highly recommend you request Dr. Arnold.”
“Awesome experience as this was my first time in a car accident and also attending chiropractic care. Dr. Estramonte and team were so welcoming and understandable to my condition. A very comfortable place to come to during a stressful time in your life, for them to build you back up from pieces to whole.”
Some symptoms appear immediately, while others can take hours or even days to develop.
After an injury, adrenaline and inflammation can mask symptoms for hours — sometimes days. By the time pain appears, the injury has often progressed.
Also, insurance companies track the gap between an accident and your first treatment. The longer that gap, the easier it becomes for them to argue your injuries were caused by something else.
Seeking care immediately creates a medical record that protects your claim from day one. At Keith Clinic, we perform a comprehensive evaluation at your first visit — assessing injuries you can feel and identifying ones you can’t.
Everything is documented from the start, so your recovery is protected whether you’re working with an insurer, an attorney, or both.
“I was in a very serious car accident the day after Christmas that left me feeling traumatized and brought me to a low point in life. However, with every visit I felt myself feeling better, not just physically, but mentally as well. I sleep better at night, and feel more energized throughout the day. I honestly don’t know how I would have got through this harsh experience without their help.”
“I went to see Dr. Jeremy Arnold — not my first time, I have previously used him for care after an auto accident. He asked me to have faith in him and give him 4 weeks of solid care. I can honestly say that without Dr. Arnold I would have spent an outrageous amount of money on a non-necessary surgery that would NOT have fixed my issue.”
“I have never been to a chiropractor. Feeling uneasy about going after my accident — however as soon as I walked through the door I was welcomed. The staff made me feel at ease and Dr. Dean was amazing. He was very detailed when explaining what to expect from my visit.”

Keith Clinic has been helping Charlotte-area patients recover from car accident injuries since 1959. With six locations across the region, experienced chiropractic care is always within reach.
A personal injury is any physical harm caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. Common examples include car accidents, slip and falls on someone else’s property, workplace accidents, and injuries caused by defective products. If you were hurt through no fault of your own, it’s likely a personal injury.
Yes — and this is one of the most important things to understand after any injury. Many soft tissue injuries, whiplash injuries, and spinal misalignments don’t produce pain immediately. Adrenaline masks symptoms in the short term, and inflammation builds over days. Coming in immediately creates an accurate record and prevents injuries from progressing undetected.
When you’re treated at Keith Clinic after a personal injury, we create a detailed medical record from day one — including your initial examination findings, diagnosis codes, treatment plan, and progress notes. This documentation establishes that your injuries are real, connects them to the incident, and demonstrates the scope of care required. It’s exactly what insurers and attorneys need.
Yes. We have longstanding relationships with personal injury attorneys across the Charlotte area and know exactly what documentation they need. If you’re represented by a lawyer, we coordinate directly with their office. If you don’t have an attorney yet and need a referral, we can point you toward trusted local firms.
Absolutely. Slip and fall accidents frequently cause spinal injuries, soft tissue damage, joint injuries, and whiplash-type trauma — all of which respond well to chiropractic care. We evaluate the full extent of your injuries at your first visit and build a treatment plan specific to what the fall caused.
Yes. Workplace injuries including falls, equipment accidents, and repetitive stress injuries are all within our scope. We work with workers’ compensation insurers and can document your injuries to support any workers’ comp claim you may be filing.
If you have legal representation, we can treat you on a medical lien with no upfront cost — our fees are settled from your case proceeds. If you don’t have an attorney, call us and we’ll discuss your options. We’re not going to turn you away because of insurance complexity.
The treatment itself is similar — chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation. The difference is in the documentation, the coordination with legal and insurance professionals, and the experience navigating the systems that surround a personal injury case. At Keith Clinic, we’ve been doing this for over 65 years.
As soon as possible — ideally within 24 to 72 hours of the incident. Early evaluation protects your health by catching injuries before they worsen, and protects your claim by establishing a clear timeline. Same-day appointments are available at all six of our Charlotte locations.
Only with your authorization. You control who receives your records. When you do authorize sharing — which most patients do, since it supports their claim — we provide thorough, well-organized documentation that clearly communicates your injuries, your treatment, and your progress.
