AUTO ACCIDENTS AND PERSONAL INJURY
Chiropractic for Auto Accidents and Personal Injury
Being involved in an automobile accident can be very traumatic and stressful. We aim to make your recovery and rehabilitation an easy, healing experience. We conduct thorough consultations and examinations following any automobile collision (at-fault, not at-fault, uninsured motorists, single car collisions) to determine pre-injury status vs post-injury status. Our goal is to help you recover from the immediate injuries as soon after the accident as possible, thereby preventing even bigger health problems down the road. Too many times we hear of patients who experienced a car accident years ago and their headaches, neck pain, low back pain had started more mildly around that time. Don't let that be you!
Getting a prompt examination following your automobile collision is crucial to getting you better and documenting the state of the current conditions. We have professionals that we can refer you to for further rehabilitation or further diagnostics, if needed, within our network of health professionals.
When we provide care, we do so in a very gentle, and specific manner to reduce pain and inflammation that doesn’t involve high-force, or twisting/crunching. Let's get started with your rehabilitative care!

It was found that cervical spine (neck) tissue injury can occur at just 5 miles per hour! If you have experienced a recent collision, and may not be experiencing symptoms yet, it is still a good idea to receive an examination promptly to prevent further damage or worsening of symptoms later.
Preparing For Your Personal Injury Evaluation
The initial visit will take approximately one hour and will include a thorough injury evaluation. Please be sure to fill out the Personal Injury Questionnaire prior to arriving for your appointment.
Additionally, it's important that you have set up a medical claim with your auto insurance. This is separate from an auto claim for your vehicle.

Kansas Personal Injury Protection
Personal injury protection (PIP) insurance is required for all drivers in Kansas. It covers the cost of your medical expenses from an accident no matter who is at fault. It's also known as "no-fault" insurance, and Kansas is a no-fault state. PIP medical benefits cover the cost of medical care after an injury you sustain in a car accident, such as brain injuries, broken bones or whiplash. PIP allows you to receive and pay for medical care immediately after an accident, without having to wait for your auto insurer to determine who was at fault or reach a settlement with the other driver. All PIP policies in Kansas are required to provide at least $4,500 of coverage, but you may have purchased more, depending on your insurer.
