Car Accident Chiropractor in Clearwater, FL
Gentle, Effective Care After a Car Accident
If you’ve been in a car accident in Clearwater or the surrounding area, even a minor one, it’s important to get checked as soon as possible. Injuries like whiplash, neck pain, headaches, and lower back pain often appear hours or days later. At TruChiropractic, we help auto accident patients recover faster, prevent long-term damage, and navigate Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) process.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Get Checked… Your Coverage Depends On You Taking the Initiative
Florida’s PIP (Personal Injury Protection) law gives you 14 days from the date of your accident to seek care in order to qualify for benefits. Waiting too long can make your recovery harder — and may impact your insurance coverage.
We provide same-week and often same-day appointments for accident patients so you can get evaluated quickly, even if you’re not feeling severe pain yet.
Our Proven 4-Step Approach for Auto Injury Care
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
We start with a detailed history of your accident, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a range-of-motion assessment to identify hidden injuries.
2. Clear Diagnosis & Documentation
Your records are organized in a way that makes it easy for attorneys and insurance companies to understand your medical necessity and treatment plan.
3. Gentle, Effective Treatment
We use diversified and prone-style chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and gentle rehab exercises tailored to your condition and comfort level.
4. Ongoing Communication
We coordinate care with your attorney and other providers as needed, and provide regular progress reports.
