Serving Berkeley, CA

Car Accident Chiropractor Serving Berkeley

Berkeley crashes cluster in two places: the I-80 corridor at the Ashby and University exits, and the surface grid — San Pablo, Telegraph, Shattuck — where cars, bikes, and pedestrians share tight streets around campus. Whether you were rear-ended in Bay Bridge approach traffic or knocked off a bike near Milvia, get evaluated before symptoms peak. We're about 15 minutes south in downtown Oakland with same-day slots.

  • Same-day appointments — 15 minutes down Telegraph or San Pablo
  • Cyclist & pedestrian collision injuries evaluated thoroughly
  • Auto insurance, MedPay, PIP, and liens accepted
  • Legal-grade documentation from visit one
  • English, Spanish & Russian

What care involves: it starts with listening and an exam: how the crash happened, orthopedic and neurological tests, and range-of-motion measurements. Care can include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, and exercises you do at home, chosen from what the exam finds. The same measurements are repeated at each re-evaluation, and the plan changes when they do.

Two Kinds of Berkeley Crashes

Freeway Rear-Ends and Bike Collisions

The I-80 pattern is familiar: stop-and-go Bay Bridge approach traffic, a moment's inattention at Ashby or University, and a rear-end impact that snaps your neck through its range faster than muscles can brace. Classic whiplash — often with little visible damage to either car, and symptoms that may not arrive until the hours or days after a crash.

The second pattern is Berkeley-specific: bicycle and pedestrian collisions on the streets around campus and along San Pablo. These produce a wider injury mix — shoulder, rib, hip, and spine — and they're routinely under-evaluated, because the ER's job is ruling out fractures and internal injuries, not assessing the soft-tissue and joint damage that keeps hurting for months. If you were "cleared" at the hospital but the pain didn't clear with you, that's exactly what a chiropractic accident evaluation is for.

Common Questions

From Berkeley Patients

How far is the clinic from Berkeley?
About 15 minutes — Telegraph, Shattuck, or San Pablo straight south into downtown Oakland, or I-80 to 980. Same-day slots held for accident patients.
I was hit on my bike but the ER cleared me. Do I still need an evaluation?
Yes. ERs rule out fractures and life-threatening injuries — they don't evaluate the soft tissue, joint, and spinal injuries that bike and pedestrian impacts commonly cause. Many Berkeley patients come to us after an ER visit that "cleared" them but left the pain unexplained.
Does a driver's insurance cover me if I was on a bike or on foot?
Generally, yes — the at-fault driver's liability coverage applies to cyclists and pedestrians the same as to other drivers. Lien-based care is also available if you're represented. We verify your options before your first visit.
Do I need a referral?
No. In California you can see a chiropractor directly, with no referral needed. We check your policy before your first visit. Just call and we get you scheduled.
