Chiropractic for An Auto Accident in Arcadia CA

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT AUTO ACCIDENT CARE & INSURANCE OPTIONS

If you’ve been involved in an auto accident in Arcadia CA, understanding your options for paying for care is essential. Our office is committed to making sure you get the treatment you need, without unnecessary delays or confusion.

We are happy to continue treating patients who have been injured in auto accidents in the following ways:

1. MedPay (Medical Payments Coverage)

MedPay is an optional add-on to your auto insurance policy that covers accident-related medical expenses, including chiropractic care. It can help pay for deductibles, co-pays, and treatments, regardless of who was at fault.

2. Other Insurance (Without an Attorney)

Sometimes the at-fault party’s insurance company may accept liability directly. In those cases, we can work with the insurer to handle billing for your chiropractic treatment.

3. With an Attorney (Medical Lien Basis)

If you are working with an attorney for your accident case, our office accepts treatment on a medical lien. This means you can start care immediately, with payment deferred until your case is settled.

4. Self-Pay (No Coverage)

For patients who prefer to pay out of pocket, we offer straightforward self-pay options for accident-related care.

WHY YOU SHOULD BE CHECKED BY A CHIROPRACTOR AFTER AN ACCIDENT

Many people only see their medical doctor or the emergency room after an accident. While this is an important step to rule out immediate dangers such as broken bones, internal injuries, or potential cancer findings on an X-ray, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are injury-free.

Medical doctors are trained to look for life-threatening or urgent problems. Once they confirm “nothing is broken,” patients are often told everything looks fine — even if they continue to experience pain, stiffness, headaches, or limited movement.

Chiropractors take a different approach:

• Specialized Focus on the Spine & Nervous System
  We evaluate the details often overlooked in standard medical exams:
  • The natural curvature of your spine
  • The spacing between discs
  • Signs of herniated or bulging discs
  • Subtle misalignments that can pinch nerves and lead to long-term pain
• Early Detection of Hidden Injuries
  Conditions like whiplash or spinal misalignments may not appear on a basic X-ray and may not cause immediate pain. Left untreated, these can worsen, causing arthritis, chronic pain, or reduced mobility.
• Restoring Function vs. Just Ruling Out Danger
  A medical doctor’s role is to make sure nothing is dangerously wrong. A chiropractor’s role is to restore proper function and alignment so your body can heal correctly — not just avoid emergencies.

The Difference: Getting checked by a chiropractor ensures that hidden injuries don’t go unnoticed. It’s the difference between simply being told “nothing is broken” and truly recovering your health and mobility.
