The Vita Chiropractic team is specially trained in Personal Injury examination, documentation, and treatment plans to make your rehabilitative care as quick and simple as possible.  Whether you were injured and at fault, somebody else was at fault, or there were no motorists/uninsured motorists involved - we prioritize getting you results for your health and the documentation to support the extent of injuries for your protection.

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!

Signs Your Spine Needs to be Evaluated

  • Neck pain or stiffness

  • Headaches or migraines

  • Visual disturbances

  • Upper back pain or stiffness

  • Stressed or tensed shoulders

  • Shoulder pain

  • Wrist pain

  • Low back pain or sciatica pain

  • Hip Pain

  • Knee Pain

  • Foot Pain

  • Difficulty sleeping restfully

  • Numbness or tingling

  • Radiating pains

  • Light or sound sensitivity

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.

If you have any questions about this visit, please give us a call at 913-308-3888. 

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.

FAQs

  • Do I need to have a “problem” or an “issue” to get started with care?
    No. Usually a symptom is the last phase of tissue injury - stiffness and mild discomfort or occasional pain that “comes and goes” are some early indicators. As a neurologically based chiropractic office, we focus on proactive health measures and thorough exams so we detect problem areas before symptoms arise.
  • How long will my first appointment be?
    Your first visit will last about 60 minutes.
  • Insurance or No Insurance?
    We are in-network with most major insurance providers. Unsure if chiropractic care is covered by your insurance? Bring in a copy of your ID and insurance card and our team will do a complimentary benefits check for you! No insurance? No problem! We serve many individuals and families that do not have insurance or that have non-traditional health share plans. For any out of network plans or health share plans, our team will supply you with a detailed superbill. No matter if you have insurance, or not, you will always be informed of any cost prior to receiving a service.
  • What is included in my first visit?
    The first visit will give us an opportunity to connect with you, listen to your concerns, and discuss goals for your health. We will conduct a thorough consultation to gather information on your past and current experiences that have contributed to where you are now. You will also receive a thorough palpation and postural examination to help our doctors assess how your spine and nervous system are functioning. If recommended by the doctors, chiropractic postural x-rays will be taken as well.
  • Do you take x-rays?
    Yes. At Vita Chiropractic, we have an on-site digital x-ray suite for your convenience and cost effectiveness. Most practice members, if not pregnant, will receive x-rays as part of our examination process.
  • What happens next?
    Getting scheduled for your initial examination is just the first step towards your road to optimal health. After you submit your appointment request, you will receive a call from our team within 24 hours on business days. Once your appointment date and time are confirmed with a call from our team, you will be instructed to complete new patient forms prior to your visit. Those forms will take approximately 15 minutes to complete and can be found on our website. If at any time a scheduling conflict arises, please give us a call so we can make accommodations to reschedule your first visit.
  • How is treatment structured?
    Each practice member undergoes a thorough health history consultation on their first visit to assess their specific chiropractic needs and health goals. This thorough visit allows our doctors to create a specific care plan for each individual who comes through our doors. Our focus is to help patients reach their health goals and serve their bigger purpose. Our doctors tailor care plans for corrective results, not just temporary change!
