Auto Accident Care

Injured in an Accident?
Evaluated From Day One.

Whiplash. Back pain. Headaches. Numbness. Stiffness that shows up three days later. We document every finding, image every concern, and build a recovery plan that holds up to clinical scrutiny.

72 hours matters. Whiplash and soft-tissue injuries often present with delayed symptoms. Early evaluation creates both a better clinical outcome and a documented record of the injury.

Why It Matters

Get checked after a collision — even if you feel fine.

If you've recently been involved in a motor vehicle collision, it's important to seek medical evaluation right away — even if you don't feel pain immediately. Adrenaline masks symptoms. Soft-tissue injuries inflame over the following days. Misaligned vertebrae become structural if left untreated.

At Wilshire Center Chiropractic, every accident patient receives a full consultation, postural and neurological examination, and on-site digital X-ray imaging during the first visit. We identify the injuries that matter, document everything to clinical standards, and begin treatment the same day when appropriate.

Our doctors have spent 17 years serving Los Angeles accident patients. That experience is the difference between a generic chiro visit and a recovery plan that actually holds.

What Your First Visit Looks Like

A complete evaluation in one appointment — no referrals to imaging centers, no multi-week diagnostic delays.

STEP 01

Consultation

We take a detailed history of the collision — direction of impact, position in the vehicle, airbag deployment, symptoms since. You'll be heard, not rushed.

STEP 02

Examination

Postural, neurological, and orthopedic testing. We identify what's injured and what isn't — the foundation of any defensible treatment plan.

STEP 03

On-Site Digital X-Ray

Imaging performed in our clinic with immediate on-screen review. We rule out fractures, identify misalignment, and show you exactly what we're treating.

STEP 04

Personalized Recovery Plan

A written plan combining chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage, and decompression as your condition requires. Treatment can begin the same visit when appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after a car accident should I see a chiropractor?
As soon as possible — ideally within 72 hours. Soft-tissue injuries often present with delayed symptoms, and early evaluation creates both a better clinical outcome and a documented record of the injury.
I don't feel pain yet. Do I still need to be checked?
Yes. Adrenaline and shock routinely mask the real extent of collision injuries. Whiplash, disc injuries, and spinal misalignment often produce no pain for days or weeks. A clinical examination identifies injuries before they become chronic.
Does auto insurance cover chiropractic treatment after an accident?
Most auto insurance plans cover chiropractic care after a collision. We verify your coverage before your first appointment so there are no surprises. Call (213) 388-8820 with your insurance information and we'll confirm benefits.
How effective is chiropractic care for whiplash?
Chiropractic is one of the most studied and effective non-surgical treatments for whiplash. Combined with physiotherapy, massage, and corrective exercise, it addresses the cervical strain, muscular guarding, and nerve irritation that whiplash produces.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Any ER or urgent-care records, imaging you've already had, the police report if you have it, and your insurance information. If you don't have some of these, come in anyway — we can work with what you bring.
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No referral is required. You can call or book online directly.
How long does accident recovery typically take?
It depends on severity, your age, and how quickly treatment starts. Typical cases respond in 4–8 weeks with a structured program. We re-examine at regular intervals and adjust the plan as you progress.
Will I need prescription medication?
Our care is non-pharmaceutical and drug-free. If medication is indicated for your case, we coordinate with your primary care physician.
