"I was rear-ended on the 101 and couldn't turn my neck for days. A friend recommended Wilshire Center Chiropractic. Dr. Sim took X-rays on my first visit, explained everything clearly, and started treatment immediately. Within 3 weeks, I was back to normal. They handled all the insurance paperwork too. Can't recommend them enough."

Common Questions
Auto Accident Recovery FAQ
How soon should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?
You should see a chiropractor within 72 hours of a car accident, even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash have delayed symptoms that can appear days or weeks later. Early treatment prevents chronic conditions from developing and strengthens your insurance or legal claim.
Does insurance cover chiropractic care after a car accident?
Yes. Most auto insurance policies include Medical Payments (Med-Pay) or Personal Injury Protection (PIP) that covers chiropractic treatment after an accident. We also offer lien-based care, which means you pay nothing upfront — your treatment is paid from your personal injury settlement.
What should I bring to my first visit after a car accident?
Bring your auto insurance information, the police report or accident report number, the other driver's insurance details, a list of your symptoms, and any medical records from the ER if you visited one. Our staff will help you with all the paperwork.
Can a chiropractor treat whiplash?
Absolutely. Chiropractors are specialists in treating whiplash injuries. Treatment typically includes spinal adjustments to restore proper alignment, soft tissue therapy to reduce muscle tension and inflammation, and rehabilitation exercises to rebuild strength and range of motion.
How long does auto accident recovery take with chiropractic care?
Recovery time varies depending on the severity of your injuries. Minor whiplash may resolve in 4-6 weeks. More serious injuries like herniated discs or severe soft tissue damage may require 3-6 months of treatment. Most patients feel significant improvement within the first 2-4 visits.
What is lien-based chiropractic care?
Lien-based care means we agree to treat you now and wait for payment until your personal injury case settles. You pay nothing out of pocket — no co-pays, no deductibles. This allows you to get the treatment you need immediately without financial stress. We work directly with your attorney to coordinate billing.
