Auto Accident Injuries


AUTO INJURY
Recovery-Focused Treatment After a Car Accident
If you have been in a car accident, getting checked by a chiropractor is one of the most important steps you can take. Even low-speed collisions can cause significant strain on the body, leading to injuries that may not appear right away. At Family Care Chiropractic in Louisville, KY, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of auto accident injuries with a focus on natural, non-invasive care that promotes full recovery.
Dr. Jaime Gonzalez, DC, has over 25 years of experience helping patients recover from accident-related pain and trauma. Our clinic works with both injury victims and their attorneys to manage treatment, documentation and insurance billing from start to finish.
Why Chiropractic Care After an Auto Accident Is Essential
Many injuries from auto accidents affect the spine, muscles and soft tissues. These injuries often do not show up on X-rays and may not be felt until days or even weeks after the crash. Without proper care, they can lead to long-term pain, stiffness or reduced mobility.
Chiropractic care helps restore normal alignment, reduce inflammation and support your body’s natural healing process. Early treatment can also prevent scar tissue from forming and reduce the risk of chronic pain.
Our goal is to identify and treat the source of your symptoms while helping you feel better as quickly and safely as possible.
What to Expect from Your Visit
When you come to our clinic following an auto accident, you will receive a full evaluation that includes a physical exam, neurological screening and posture or range-of-motion testing. If appropriate, we will begin care immediately and outline a clear plan for follow-up visits.
You will also receive supportive therapies to manage pain and promote healing. These may include:
- Electrical muscle stimulation
- Heat or cold therapy
- Intersegmental traction using a roller table
- Assisted stretching and soft tissue wor
- Chiropractic adjustments for the spine and extremities
We will also guide you on what to do at home between visits and monitor your progress closely at each appointment.
Help with Insurance, Legal and Documentation Support
Navigating a personal injury case can be overwhelming. Our clinic has years of experience working with auto injury claims and can assist with:
- Personal injury protection (PIP) paperwork
- Insurance billing and pre-authorizations
- Referral documentation for attorneys
- Medical records for legal claims
- Communication with case managers
If you already have an attorney, we will coordinate directly with their office to ensure your treatment is documented properly and you have the support you need throughout the process.
If you are not yet working with a legal team, we can refer you to professionals we trust who focus on personal injury cases.

Do Not Wait to Get Evaluated
Many people walk away from accidents thinking they are fine, only to develop pain, stiffness or headaches days later. Left untreated, soft tissue and spinal injuries can lead to chronic conditions and reduced mobility. Chiropractic care offers a safe, drug-free solution that addresses the true cause of your symptoms.
If you have been in an accident, even a minor one, schedule a chiropractic evaluation as soon as possible. Early treatment helps ensure faster healing and better long-term outcomes.
