The basics
What is auto accident & whiplash chiropractor?
Whiplash is a soft-tissue and joint injury caused by a rapid back-and-forth motion of the head, most commonly in a rear-end collision. The classic mistake is to skip evaluation because 'nothing feels broken.' Whiplash symptoms often appear 2472 hours later, and untreated whiplash is the single biggest predictor of chronic neck pain a decade later.

FAQ
Common questions about auto accident & whiplash chiropractor in Placitas
QHow soon after an accident in Placitas should I see a chiropractor?
Within 72 hours when possible. Soft-tissue inflammation peaks in the first three days, and the documentation window matters for both health outcomes and insurance.
QWill my auto insurance cover chiropractic after the accident?
In most cases yes, New Mexico PIP and med-pay coverage typically pay for chiropractic post-collision. We verify benefits and bill correctly so you don't have to chase paperwork.
QI feel fine. Do I really need an exam?
Yes. The most expensive whiplash cases ten years later are the ones who 'felt fine' at week one. A 30-minute baseline exam protects your future spine and your legal options.
QDo you work with personal-injury attorneys?
We do. Bring your attorney's contact info, we coordinate documentation and don't make you the middleman.
