"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."

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?
Most auto insurance plans cover chiropractic care following a motor vehicle 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.
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.
