Auto Accident & Whiplash Care
Even minor car accidents can lead to lingering pain, stiffness, or mobility issues. Chiropractic care can help your body heal naturally and prevent long-term damage. At Palatine Family Chiropractic, we offer personalized, non-invasive treatment to help you recover safely and fully.
Recover Faster After an Auto Accident
How do we Help with Auto Accident & Whiplash Care?
Were you in a wreck in the last few months? You need to be treated—EVEN if it’s a fender bender, you need to be treated. Protect yourself now before it’s too late.
We focus on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries caused by auto accidents — most commonly whiplash, back pain, neck pain, and joint dysfunction. Even if you feel fine right after the crash, symptoms can take hours or days to appear as inflammation builds.
How It Works
We perform a full evaluation to assess spinal alignment, soft tissue damage, and nerve function. Treatment often includes gentle chiropractic adjustments, muscle therapy, and personalized rehab exercises to restore mobility, reduce inflammation, and support long-term healing.
Why it's Effective
Chiropractic care addresses the root cause of pain after an accident: misalignment, soft tissue injury, and nerve irritation. By restoring joint motion and reducing pressure on the nervous system, we help your body heal more effectively and avoid long-term complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to see a chiropractor if I feel fine after an accident?
Yes. Many accident-related injuries don’t show symptoms right away. Early chiropractic care can prevent long-term issues and catch underlying damage before it worsens.
Is chiropractic care covered by auto insurance?
In many cases, yes. We can help you navigate insurance claims and work with your auto insurance provider to verify coverage.
How long does recovery take?
It depends on the severity of the injury. Some patients see improvement within a few sessions, while others need ongoing care. We tailor every plan to your specific situation.
Is treatment painful?
No. We use gentle, controlled techniques to restore movement without causing discomfort. Most patients feel relief during or shortly after treatment.
