Experiencing Pain After a Car Accident?

Even a seemingly minor collision can leave you dealing with unexpected pain, stiffness, or changes in how your body moves.

You may notice discomfort while driving, sitting at work, sleeping, exercising, or performing everyday activities that were previously comfortable.

Common Injuries & Symptoms We Evaluate

Whiplash & Neck Pain

Neck stiffness, muscle tenderness, headaches, or difficulty turning your head.

Back Pain

Upper, middle, or lower back discomfort that affects sitting, standing, or movement.

Headaches

Headaches that develop or change following an accident and warrant appropriate evaluation.

Shoulder & Joint Pain

Pain or restricted movement affecting the shoulders, hips, knees, or other joints.

Muscle & Soft Tissue Injuries

Strains, soreness, tenderness, or reduced mobility following a collision.

Numbness & Tingling

Radiating symptoms that may require additional neurological assessment or medical referral.

Every injury is different. Our goal is to identify your specific concerns and determine the most appropriate next steps for your recovery.

Get Evaluated After an Accident

When Do Car Accident Symptoms Show Up?

You May Not Feel Everything Right Away

Following an accident, adrenaline, stress, and the body’s immediate response to injury may make symptoms less noticeable at first.

Some individuals experience pain immediately, while others begin noticing stiffness, headaches, soreness, or changes in movement hours or days afterward.

Immediately After an Accident

Pain, swelling, tenderness, dizziness, or difficulty moving may be apparent at the scene. Serious injuries require immediate medical attention.

Over the Next 24-72 Hours

Neck and back stiffness, muscular soreness, headaches, or discomfort with everyday movements may become more noticeable.

In the Following Days or Weeks

Some symptoms may persist, change, or become more apparent as you return to everyday activities. Ongoing or worsening symptoms deserve appropriate medical evaluation.

The takeaway: You don’t have to be in severe pain to have a reason to seek an evaluation.

If something doesn’t feel right following an accident, getting evaluated promptly can help clarify your symptoms, identify concerns requiring additional care, and establish an appropriate treatment plan.

Important: Severe or worsening headaches, repeated vomiting, confusion, new weakness, difficulty walking, or other serious neurological symptoms following an accident require emergency medical evaluation.

A More Personalized Approach to Accident Recovery

At Peak Performance Chiropractic Center, we believe recovery should involve more than simply addressing where you hurt.

We look at how an injury affects your movement, strength, comfort, and ability to perform the activities important to you.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we combine hands-on treatment, movement-based rehabilitation, and supportive therapies when appropriate.

Your Care May Include:

Chiropractic Care

Hands-on treatment to address appropriate joint and movement restrictions and improve mobility.

Shockwave Therapy (StemWave)

A noninvasive treatment using acoustic waves that may be appropriate for certain musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions. When indicated, it can be incorporated into your recovery plan.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Targeted hands-on techniques to address muscular discomfort, tension, and movement restrictions.

Dry Needling

A treatment option for certain muscle-related pain and movement limitations when clinically appropriate.

Rehabilitative Exercise

Personalized exercises designed to help restore strength, mobility, stability, and confidence in movement.

Movement & Functional Assessments

Evaluating how your injury affects daily activities, work, and recreation.

Not every patient needs every service. Your treatment plan is based on your examination findings, individual needs, and progress.

Our focus is helping you make meaningful, measurable progress toward your goals.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

01 — Tell Us What Happened

Your first appointment begins with a conversation about your accident, symptoms, medical history, and how your injury is affecting everyday life.

We’ll take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and learn what matters most to your recovery.

02 — Get a Thorough Evaluation

We’ll assess relevant movement, strength, mobility, neurological findings, and areas of discomfort to better understand your condition.

If additional imaging, medical evaluation, or a referral is needed, we’ll discuss the appropriate next steps.

03 — Develop Your Plan & Potentially Begin Treatment

You may be able to start treatment at your very first appointment.

After reviewing our findings, we’ll explain your options and develop an individualized plan based on your injuries and goals.

When clinically appropriate, we can begin treatment during that same visit, helping you get started without an unnecessary second appointment.

04 — Track Your Recovery

Throughout your care, we’ll monitor changes in your symptoms, mobility, strength, and overall function.

We’ll adjust your care plan when appropriate and maintain documentation of your evaluation, treatment, and progress.

Minnesota No-Fault Insurance: We Help Make the Process Easier

Your Recovery Matters. Understanding Insurance Shouldn’t Be Another Headache.

Minnesota is a No-Fault auto insurance state. This means eligible individuals may be able to access Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits for medically necessary treatment following a covered auto accident, regardless of who caused the collision.

Minnesota’s minimum No-Fault coverage includes:

$20,000 in medical expense benefits
$20,000 in nonmedical expense benefits

Additional coverage may be available depending on your policy. Eligibility, reimbursement, and applicable limits depend on your individual claim.

We Bill Minnesota No-Fault Insurance Directly

Unlike our regular cash-based chiropractic services, Peak Performance Chiropractic Center bills Minnesota No-Fault (PIP) insurance directly for eligible auto accident care.

Our team can help explain the information needed to get started, communicate with insurance representatives as appropriate, and maintain documentation related to your care.

Not sure whether your claim qualifies?

That’s okay. Contact our office and we’ll explain our process and help you understand what information to gather from your insurer.

Working With a Personal Injury Attorney?

We also work with personal injury attorneys and can coordinate with your legal team regarding treatment records, documentation, and progress when authorized.

You do not need an attorney to begin receiving care at our office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be in a serious car accident to seek chiropractic care?

No. Even relatively minor collisions can be followed by musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility. An evaluation can help determine the nature of your symptoms and whether chiropractic treatment or another type of care is appropriate.

What if I don’t feel pain immediately after the accident?

It’s possible for soreness, stiffness, headaches, or other symptoms to become noticeable hours or days after a collision. Seek an appropriate medical evaluation for new, persistent, or worsening symptoms.

Can I receive treatment during my first appointment?

Yes, in many cases. Following your initial evaluation, we may be able to begin treatment during the same visit if it’s clinically appropriate. Some injuries require additional imaging, medical evaluation, or referral before treatment.

Does Minnesota No-Fault insurance cover chiropractic care?

Chiropractic treatment may qualify for coverage under Minnesota No-Fault (PIP) insurance when medically necessary and related to a covered auto accident. Eligibility and reimbursement depend on your claim, benefits, and applicable requirements.

Does No-Fault insurance cover Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy (StemWave) may be considered as part of an individualized treatment plan when clinically appropriate. Insurance coverage and reimbursement for this service vary, and payment is not guaranteed. We’ll discuss any applicable financial responsibilities before treatment.

Do you bill auto insurance directly?

Yes. Peak Performance Chiropractic Center bills Minnesota No-Fault (PIP) insurance directly for eligible auto accident claims. This differs from our regular cash-based chiropractic services.

What if the accident wasn’t my fault?

Minnesota’s No-Fault system generally allows eligible individuals to access PIP benefits regardless of who caused the accident. Which insurance policy applies depends on the circumstances.

What if I was a passenger or don’t have my own auto insurance?

You may still qualify for No-Fault benefits. The applicable insurance coverage depends on your situation, including vehicle and household insurance information.

Do I need an attorney to receive care?

No. You do not need to hire an attorney simply to receive chiropractic care following an accident. However, an attorney may be helpful if you have questions about liability, disputed claims, or your legal rights.

Do you work with personal injury attorneys?

Yes. With appropriate authorization, we can communicate with your attorney regarding relevant treatment documentation, medical records, and progress.

How soon after an accident should I schedule an appointment?

If you’ve developed symptoms following an accident, seek appropriate medical evaluation promptly rather than waiting for them to become severe. Serious injuries or emergency warning signs require immediate medical attention.

Is there a deadline for filing a Minnesota No-Fault claim?

Minnesota’s Department of Commerce states that No-Fault claims must be made within six months of the accident. Other requirements may apply. Contact your insurance company promptly to understand your claim obligations.

Will I have to pay anything out of pocket?

That depends on your coverage, claim status, and whether the services are eligible for reimbursement. We’ll explain our billing process and discuss any applicable patient financial responsibilities before moving forward.
