We see patients in Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Northglenn, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Greeley and Lafayette, and across the Phoenix metro in Deer Valley, Glendale, Peoria, Mesa and Chandler.
Get Checked Even If You Feel Fine
Most people walk away from a collision feeling shaken but basically alright, and decide to wait and see.
That is usually the wrong call. Whiplash symptoms tend to show up a day or two later, once the adrenaline is gone and the soft tissue has stiffened. By then people assume the two things must be unrelated, because nothing hurt at the scene. They almost always are related.
Early treatment is the standard of care for whiplash, and getting seen in the first few days also puts a dated record in place linking your symptoms to the crash. That matters later whether or not you end up filing anything.
Injuries We Treat After a Collision
- Whiplash and neck pain, the most common crash injury and the one most often brushed off early. See whiplash treatment
- Upper and lower back pain from the spine loading against the belt and seat
- Radiculopathy and pinched nerves, with numbness or tingling running into an arm or leg
- Headaches driven by the neck and upper back rather than the head itself
- Sciatic pain where the lower back took the force
- Shoulder and knee injuries from bracing against the wheel or dash
Low-speed collisions cause whiplash more often than people expect. A bumper that barely dents absorbed less of the energy, which means more of it reached you.
What Treatment Looks Like
We work out what is injured before we treat it. How the crash happened, which direction the impact came from, where your headrest was, whether you saw it coming. Then range of motion, orthopedic and neurological testing, and imaging where it is indicated.
Hands-on care comes first. Adjustment and soft tissue work to get the joints moving again and release the muscle guarding around them. This is the part that usually makes you feel better fastest.
Then we rebuild. As the pain settles, physical therapy restores strength and control. A joint that moves freely but is supported by muscle that has switched off will just get injured again, so this stage is what makes the recovery hold.
Your plan comes from your exam findings and gets reviewed as you go. When you are better, you finish.
Care That Steps Up Without Starting Over
Most people injured in a crash end up assembling their own care. A chiropractor here, a physical therapist across town, an imaging center somewhere else, and a physician who never sees any of it. Every handoff drops information.
Our chiropractors, physical therapists and pain management physicians share one chart. The person adjusting your neck can see what the physician found on the MRI. If conservative care is not resolving the problem, an interventional option is a conversation down the hall instead of a new referral and a six-week wait. See pain management.
Paying for Care After a Crash
Cost is the main reason people put off getting seen, so here it is straight.
Health insurance. We accept most major plans. See insurances accepted.
Med-pay. Most auto policies in Colorado and Arizona include medical payments coverage that applies no matter who caused the crash. A lot of people do not know they have it. Ask your auto insurer whether it is on your policy and for how much.
If you have an attorney. Treatment can be arranged so costs are settled out of the claim rather than paid by you up front. Ask us and we will walk you through how it works in your state.
We verify your coverage before treating, so you know where you stand before the first appointment instead of after it.
The First 72 Hours
- Get evaluated, even if you feel fine
- Report the collision to your auto insurer and ask specifically about med-pay
- Start active treatment rather than resting and waiting it out
- Write down symptoms, missed work and expenses as they happen

Car Accident Chiropractic FAQs
Should I see a chiropractor after a minor accident?
If you have symptoms, yes. Low-speed collisions produce whiplash more often than people expect. An evaluation takes about an hour, and if nothing is wrong we will tell you.
How soon should I be seen?
Within the first few days where you can. Early active treatment is the standard of care for whiplash, and a prompt record is more useful than a late one.
My symptoms started days after the crash. Is that normal?
Yes, and it does not mean they are unrelated. Delayed onset is characteristic of soft tissue injury. Tell us when the crash happened and when the symptoms began.
Is it too late if my accident was months ago?
No. Long-standing patterns take longer to unwind, but they respond.
Who pays for the treatment?
Depending on your situation, med-pay from your auto policy, your health insurance, or an arrangement through your claim. We check your coverage before treating.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly.
What if I need more than chiropractic care?
Physical therapy, acupuncture and pain management physicians are all in the same practice, so your care steps up without starting over somewhere new.
Can I be seen at a different clinic than where I started?
Yes. Your chart moves with you across all 22 locations.
