Car Accident Chiropractor in Dallas and Lewisville, TX

Neck pain, back pain or whiplash after a wreck? Our chiropractors examine you, document your injuries and build a care plan, at clinics in Dallas and Lewisville.

When should you see a chiropractor after a car accident?

As soon as you can, ideally within a few days of the crash, even if the pain feels mild. Whiplash and soft tissue injuries often get worse over the next few days. An early exam documents your injuries for your claim and starts care before stiffness sets in. If you have severe pain, numbness or signs of a head injury, go to the emergency room first.

How is car accident care paid for in Texas?

Texas is an at-fault state, so the at-fault driver’s insurance usually pays for injury care through a claim.

MedPay, your health insurance, the at-fault driver's insurance or a letter of protection through your attorney may also cover care. Call us before your first visit and we will walk you through it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long after a car accident can symptoms show up?

Some injuries hurt right away. Others, like whiplash and soft tissue strain, often show up over the next few days as swelling and stiffness build. That is why an exam soon after the crash matters even if you feel fine.

Do I need a police report to see a chiropractor?

No. You can get care without one. Your insurance company will ask for crash details, so keep the report number and the other driver's information.

Will my car insurance pay for chiropractic care in Texas?

Often, yes. MedPay, health insurance or the at-fault driver's insurer may apply. Read our Texas coverage guide.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on your injury. Your chiropractor sets a care plan after your exam and adjusts it as you improve. You will always know the plan before treatment starts.

Should I see a lawyer or a chiropractor first?

Your health comes first, so get checked for injuries. Many patients also talk to a personal injury attorney. Here is how to decide.
