Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?
As soon as you've been medically cleared for non-emergency injuries — ideally within the first 1–2 weeks. Early conservative care produces better long-term outcomes than waiting for symptoms to settle on their own, and prompt treatment is generally important for insurance and personal injury protection (PIP) documentation. Many post-accident symptoms emerge 24–72 hours after the collision, not immediately.
Do you work with auto insurance and PIP cases?
Yes. We work with auto insurance, personal injury protection (PIP), MedPay, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Dr. Foss documents care thoroughly for insurance and attorney use, including narrative reports and objective findings. We coordinate with personal injury attorneys when one is involved in the case.
What injuries do you treat from car accidents?
We treat whiplash, cervical and lumbar facet sprains, post-concussion symptoms, TMJ dysfunction from airbag impact, sacroiliac joint disruption, soft-tissue contusions, and the cumulative musculoskeletal trauma of motor vehicle collisions. SOT is particularly well-suited to whiplash because it avoids the rotational forces that aggravate freshly injured cervical structures.
How long does post-accident chiropractic care typically take?
Most uncomplicated whiplash and post-accident cases resolve in 12–20 visits over 8–12 weeks. More severe collisions, prior cervical injury, or delayed presentation can extend treatment to 6 months. Insurance and PIP typically cover this corrective course of care when medically documented.
