Injured in a car accident near Plymouth? We provide thorough documentation and chiropractic treatment to support your recovery and your claim.

Don't Wait to Be Evaluated After an Accident

It’s common to feel mostly fine right after an accident, only to have neck pain, stiffness, or headaches build over the next day or two. That delay happens because adrenaline and inflammation work on different timelines, the real impact of an injury often doesn’t show up until 24 to 72 hours later.

Getting evaluated early matters for two reasons. Clinically, addressing an injury sooner tends to lead to a smoother recovery. Practically, an early evaluation helps establish a clear record in case you need it for an insurance claim.

Common Injuries from Auto Accidents

Whiplash

The neck moves suddenly beyond its normal range during a collision, straining muscles and ligaments and often affecting normal vertebral alignment.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Muscles and ligaments throughout the neck, shoulders, and back can be stretched or strained during impact. These injuries don’t always show up on X-ray, which can leave patients feeling dismissed when they’re clearly in pain.

Headaches

Post-accident headaches are common and are often connected to the neck, even when the head itself wasn’t directly injured.

How Anchor Point Chiropractic Helps You Recover

Dr. Jeffrey Vitenas and Dr. Jessie Swink start with a thorough evaluation to understand exactly what was affected in your accident. From there, care typically starts gentle and progresses as your body heals, using techniques suited to where you are in recovery.

Documentation for Your Insurance Claim

We provide clear documentation of your injuries, diagnosis, and treatment progress, the kind of records that help support your claim. Most auto insurance policies include coverage for chiropractic care after an accident, and no referral from a primary care physician is required to get started. If you’re working with an attorney, we’re happy to coordinate documentation with them as well, our role is focused on your clinical care.

What to Expect at Your First Visit After an Accident

Your first visit focuses on thoroughly documenting what happened and what was affected. That typically includes a detailed account of the accident, a physical exam, and X-rays when needed. Ideally, this evaluation happens within the first few days after your accident, the sooner you’re seen, the cleaner your documentation and the better your outcome tends to be.
