Car Accidents: 10 Questions We Get Asked All the Time

0

From Your Trusted Kennesaw Chiropractor- Car Accident experts!

If you’ve recently been in a car accident—even a minor one—you might be wondering if you need to see a chiropractor. At Reach Chiropractic in Kennesaw, we specialize in chiropractic care after car accidents, and we hear a lot of the same questions from our patients.

Here are the top 10:

1. Should I See a Chiropractor After a Car Accident?

Yes—even if you don’t feel pain right away. Symptoms like whiplash or spinal misalignment may not show up until days later. Chiropractic care can catch and correct problems early.

2. When Should I See a Chiropractor After an Auto Accident?

The sooner, the better. Ideally within 72 hours. This improves recovery, strengthens insurance claims, and may prevent long-term issues.

3. What If I Didn’t Go to the ER—Can I Still See a Chiropractor?

Absolutely. Chiropractic care focuses on alignment, nerve function, and soft tissue healing—areas often missed by emergency room care.

4. Do You Treat Whiplash Injuries?

Yes. Whiplash is one of the most common auto-related injuries we treat. Gentle, targeted adjustments can relieve pain and help restore mobility.

5. Will My Insurance Cover Chiropractic for a Car Accident?

Most car insurance policies (including MedPay and PIP) do cover chiropractic care after an accident. We can help you verify your benefits.

6. Do You Work with Attorneys or Insurance Companies?

Yes. We frequently coordinate care and documentation for personal injury cases and can provide detailed reports as needed.

7. What Symptoms Should I Watch for After an Accident?

Common delayed symptoms include:

  • Neck pain or stiffness

  • Headaches

  • Lower back pain

  • Tingling or numbness

  • Difficulty concentrating

If you notice any of these, schedule a chiropractic exam in our Kennesaw office right away.

8. Is Chiropractic Care Safe After an Auto Injury?

Yes. We use safe, gentle techniques tailored to your injury, age, and comfort level.

9. How Many Visits Will I Need?

It depends on the severity of your injury, how long it’s been since the accident, and your individual healing process. We’ll create a personalized care plan during your initial evaluation.

10. Do I Need a Referral to See a Chiropractor After a Car Accident?

Nope! You can schedule directly with us—no referral needed.
