After a Fruitvale Crash

Two Common Paths — and What Both Can Miss

After a crash, a lot of people in the neighborhood do one of two things. Some go to a sobador or huesero, someone the family has trusted for years, who speaks their language and doesn't make it complicated. Others go to urgent care or the ER, get cleared for fractures, and leave with a prescription for pain medication and a referral to physical therapy.

Neither of those is wrong. What both can leave out is a written record of how your spine and soft tissue were in the days right after the crash. Symptoms from a collision commonly show up in the hours or days after a crash, and if nobody documents them early, that information is gone months later when an insurer asks what happened. We examine first, measure with the same validated questionnaires at every re-evaluation, and write it all down.

If you've been seeing a sobador, read our Spanish guide to sobadores and chiropractors, which explains the difference with respect. If your doctor already has you in PT and on pain medication, read already in PT after a car accident?

1

Exam First

History and physical exam, before any treatment.

2

Measured, Not Guessed

The same validated scales at the first visit, every re-evaluation, and discharge, so change shows up in numbers.

3

Imaging Referred Out

If the exam calls for imaging, we refer you out for it and tell you before any care starts.

4

Payment Sorted First

Auto insurance, MedPay, PIP, and liens accepted. Your cost confirmed in writing before your first visit.

What We Treat

Common Questions

From Fruitvale Patients

How far is the clinic from Fruitvale?
Close. From Fruitvale BART it's one stop to Lake Merritt, about a 12-minute walk from the clinic. No driving time is given because none was measured. We hold same-day slots for new accident patients.
I've been going to a sobador since the crash. Can I still come in?
Yes. We won't ask you to stop seeing anyone. After a crash, we examine first and write down what we find, so there's a clinical record of how your body was in the days after the accident.
Do I need a lawyer to be seen?
No. You can see a chiropractor directly in California. Auto insurance, MedPay, PIP, and liens accepted. We verify your coverage and tell you in writing what you will owe before your first visit.
My doctor already gave me physical therapy and pain medication. Why see a chiropractor?
Keep following your doctor's plan. A chiropractic accident evaluation looks specifically at the joints and soft tissue of the spine and documents findings visit by visit.
