About Auto Accident Injury Treatment
Even a minor vehicle accident can cause significant trauma to the body—especially the spine, neck, and surrounding soft tissues. Often, symptoms don't appear until hours or even days later, making it crucial to seek a thorough chiropractic evaluation as soon as possible after any collision.
At Pier View Chiropractic in Oceanside, Dr. Gonzalez offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries sustained in auto accidents. Our treatment focuses on restoring alignment, reducing inflammation, and promoting the body's natural healing processes.
Auto accidents frequently cause hidden injuries like whiplash, spinal misalignment, or soft tissue damage that may not be immediately apparent. With over 35 years of experience treating auto accident victims, Dr. Gonzalez understands the complex nature of these injuries and provides comprehensive care to address both immediate and long-term effects.
Don't wait for symptoms to get worse. Vehicle accidents can cause injuries that linger for months or even years if left untreated. Chiropractic care provides early intervention to support long-term recovery and prevent chronic issues. If you've been in an accident, early evaluation and treatment are essential for optimal healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I seek chiropractic care after an auto accident?
It's best to see a chiropractor as soon as possible—even if you feel fine. Early care can prevent small injuries from worsening and becoming chronic conditions. Seek care if you've been in any collision (even low-speed), experience stiffness, soreness, or limited motion, have headaches or dizziness, or want a full spinal evaluation.
What symptoms should I watch for after a vehicle accident?
Common symptoms include neck pain or stiffness (often from whiplash), back pain or muscle spasms, headaches or migraines, shoulder/hip/joint pain, tingling/numbness/weakness in arms or legs, difficulty concentrating or sleeping, limited range of motion, and dizziness or fatigue.
What does auto accident chiropractic treatment include?
Treatment is tailored to your specific injuries and may include comprehensive evaluation with physical exam and imaging referrals if needed, spinal adjustments to realign the spine and restore nerve function, soft tissue therapies like massage and myofascial release, corrective exercises, pain management and monitoring, and medical referral coordination when necessary.
Will my auto insurance cover chiropractic treatment?
Most auto insurance policies include medical coverage (Med Pay or PIP) that covers chiropractic care for accident-related injuries. Dr. Gonzalez works with insurance companies to verify coverage and handle billing to ensure you receive the care you need.
Why is early treatment important after an auto accident?
Early treatment prevents small injuries from becoming chronic conditions, reduces inflammation and promotes faster healing, provides proper documentation for insurance and legal purposes, and addresses hidden injuries before they become symptomatic. Many auto injuries worsen without proper treatment.
