What to Do After an Accident — Before You See a Chiropractor

Notice What Your Body Is Telling You
After an accident, it’s common to feel a little shaken but otherwise “okay.” Then, a day or two later, the soreness kicks in. Maybe your neck starts to ache, your back feels tight, or your range of motion is off. These delayed symptoms are your body’s way of asking for help. Don’t ignore them.

 Don’t Put Off Getting Checked Out
It’s easy to wait and hope the pain goes away on its own. But the truth is, untreated injuries—especially those affecting your spine or joints—can lead to long-term problems. The sooner you get care, the better your chances are for a full, healthy recovery.

Schedule a Visit with a Chiropractor

You don’t need a referral to see a chiropractor in New Jersey. If you’re feeling stiff, sore, or off balance after an accident, we’re here to help. At your first visit, we’ll do a full evaluation, explain what’s going on, and lay out a care plan tailored to your needs. No pressure—just answers and support.

 Know Your Insurance Rights

In New Jersey, most car insurance policies include Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which usually covers chiropractic care after an accident. That means you can start treatment without worrying about upfront costs. We’ll help you handle the paperwork so you can focus on getting better.

 Start Treatment Early

Getting care sooner helps your body heal faster and reduces your chances of chronic pain later on. Chiropractic care can relieve pressure, ease inflammation, and restore movement—all without drugs or surgery. It’s a safe, natural way to recover after trauma.

Stick With the Plan and Track Your Progress

Healing takes time. It’s important to follow through with your treatment plan and keep up with appointments. Not just for your health—but also because your medical records may be important if you're filing an insurance claim or working with an attorney
