The First 72 Hours Are Critical

Adrenaline masks pain. You think you're fine. Then stiffness shows up. Headaches. Radiating pain down your arm or leg. Early intervention in the first 72 hours improves outcomes significantly — and it protects your legal rights. Every day without documentation is a day the insurance company gains ground on your claim.

"Dr. Ben and Dr. Irina are the real deal. Both doctors are very knowledgeable and understanding. At the time of appointments you feel safe and comfortable. Id recommend, 10/10."

Don't wait it out. Many people don't feel pain until days after a crash. Adrenaline masks it. If you're starting to feel new stiffness, headaches, or back pain — that's your body telling you something is structurally wrong. Get evaluated today.

Hurting After Your Accident? Don't Wait Another Day.

Every day without treatment is a day scar tissue forms and injuries get harder to fix — and harder to document.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon should I come in after a car accident?
As soon as possible. Ideally within 24–72 hours — even if you feel fine. Delayed symptoms are extremely common. Adrenaline masks pain, inflammation builds, and scar tissue starts forming fast. From a legal standpoint, gaps in early documentation give insurance companies ammunition to dispute that your injuries are accident-related.
Does auto insurance cover chiropractic care?
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 or PIP coverage, uninsured motorist coverage, or a personal injury lien. We verify your specific coverage before your first visit and tell you in writing what you will owe, if anything.
I already went to the ER. Do I still need a chiropractor?
Yes. Emergency rooms check for life-threatening injuries — fractures, internal bleeding, head trauma. They are not set up to evaluate whiplash, spinal misalignment, disc injuries, or soft tissue damage. The majority of our patients come in after an ER visit. The ER cleared you for serious trauma. That's not the same as cleared for accident injuries.
What if I don't have an attorney yet?
That's fine. Many patients come to us before retaining an attorney. We can refer you to trusted personal injury firms that understand how to work with our documentation. If you already have an attorney, we coordinate with them directly — notes, narratives, and progress reports on schedule.
How long does treatment typically take?
Recovery timelines differ for every person and every collision, so we don't publish other people's. What we do instead is measure yours — range of motion in degrees and orthopedic findings at the start, repeated as you go, so you can see what is actually changing. You'll always know where you stand.
Do I need a referral?
No. In California you can see a chiropractor directly — no referral from a doctor, no permission from your insurance company. Just call and we get you scheduled.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Auto insurance info, a photo ID, and any ER paperwork or police report if you have it. If you don't have those yet, that's fine — come anyway. Getting evaluated quickly is what matters most.

Car Accident Chiropractor Serving Oakland & the East Bay

Located in downtown Oakland — minutes from the I-880, I-580, and I-980 corridors and the MacArthur Maze.

We see accident patients from across the East Bay: downtown Oakland and Jack London Square, Fruitvale and International Blvd, West Oakland, and neighboring Emeryville, Alameda, Berkeley, and San Leandro. If your crash happened anywhere along 880 or 580, we're a short drive away — and same-day appointments mean you can be evaluated before symptoms peak.

About Oakland Accident Care

Oakland Accident Care is a chiropractic clinic located at 435 8th Street, Suite 203, in downtown Oakland, California.

Oakland Accident Care was founded by Dr. Ben Glass, DC. Dr. Ben Glass is a Doctor of Chiropractic who graduated from Life Chiropractic College West in 2013 and has practiced in Oakland for more than thirteen years.

Oakland Accident Care accepts auto insurance, MedPay, PIP, uninsured motorist coverage, and personal injury liens, and does not bill health insurance directly. Coverage is verified before the first visit and the patient's cost is confirmed in writing. Oakland Accident Care offers same-day appointments and can be reached at (510) 606-0007.
