Professional Chiropractic Care in Oakland

Car Accident Injuries
Need Focused Care.

Oakland Accident Care is a chiropractic clinic in Downtown Oakland serving Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville and San Leandro. We treat whiplash, cervical and lumbar spine injury, soft tissue injury, disc injury and sciatica after motor vehicle collisions. These often do not appear immediately, because soft tissue damage does not show on a standard X-ray. Dr. Ben Glass and Dr. Irina Velichko examine, measure range of motion, and document findings and dates from visit one.

Symptoms That Develop After Impact

Many car accident victims don't feel pain immediately. Adrenaline and shock mask injuries that develop over hours or days. Early recognition and treatment put the injury on the record while it is recent, and protect your legal claim.

Don't ignore delayed symptoms. Pain, stiffness, numbness, or headaches appearing days after your accident are signs of underlying injury. These conditions worsen without treatment and create documentation gaps that harm your insurance claim. Get evaluated today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is whiplash and how is it treated?
Whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck caused by sudden acceleration-deceleration forces, typically in rear-end collisions. Treatment includes spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, stretching exercises, and ergonomic guidance aimed at range of motion and pain.
How soon should I seek chiropractic care after an accident?
Ideally within 24-72 hours. Symptoms commonly appear in that window. Early treatment reduces inflammation and creates important documentation for your claim. Don't wait for pain to develop β€” many injuries show symptoms days later.
Will my insurance cover chiropractic treatment?
Yes. If you were injured in a car accident, chiropractic care is typically covered through the at-fault driver's liability insurance, your own MedPay/PIP coverage, or uninsured motorist coverage. We verify your specific coverage before treatment begins.
What if I went to the ER and they said I was fine?
Emergency rooms screen for life-threatening injuries like fractures and internal bleeding. They're not equipped to diagnose whiplash, disc injuries, or soft tissue damage. Many accident injuries develop or worsen after the ER visit. Professional chiropractic evaluation is essential.
How long does treatment typically take?
Treatment duration varies from person to person and depends on what was injured. We start with 3 visits per week and adjust from there. Your re-evaluations use objective range of motion measurements, so the plan follows where you actually are rather than a predicted date.
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No. In California, you can see a chiropractor directly without a referral. Call us and we will work out in about five minutes whether we are a fit.
Can you help with my insurance claim?
We handle insurance verification, billing, and provide detailed documentation for your claim. We also coordinate directly with your personal injury attorney if you have one. If you don't have an attorney and would like information, we can give you a written list of firms that handle accident cases in this area β€” we don't recommend any particular one and we receive nothing from any of them. That choice is entirely yours.
