Injured in a Car Accident? Get Evidence-Based Treatment That Documents Your Recovery.
Amplified Chiropractic and Wellness Center treats whiplash, neck pain, shoulder pain, and lower back pain from auto accidents — with the clinical documentation your recovery, and your case, depend on.
PIP & Letters of Protection Accepted Same-Day/Next-Day Appointments No Up Front Out-of-Pocket for PI Patients*
Soft tissue and joint injuries from motor vehicle accidents don’t always hurt right away — pain and stiffness often build over the days and weeks that follow as inflammation sets in. Waiting to get evaluated can allow treatable injuries to become chronic, and can weaken the causal link between the accident and your injuries in the eyes of insurers. At Amplified, every visit is evidence-based, clearly documented, and built around getting you back to the life you had before the accident.
Common Auto Accident Injuries
Conditions We Treat After a Collision
Auto accidents place sudden, abnormal force on the spine and joints — even at low speeds. These are the injuries we see and treat most often.
Whiplash & Neck Pain
Neck stiffness or reduced range of motion
Headaches originating at the base of the skull
Pain radiating into the shoulders or upper back
Dizziness or difficulty concentrating
How We Treat It
Cervical spine assessment, evidence-based chiropractic adjustment, cervical traction to restore normal curve and reduce nerve irritation, and functional exercise to rebuild stability.
Shoulder Pain
Pain with overhead or reaching movement
Restricted rotation or reduced strength
Pain from seatbelt restraint or bracing on impact
Referred pain from the neck or upper back
How We Treat It
Focused shockwave therapy for soft tissue and rotator cuff involvement, manual therapy, and a progressive rehabilitation plan to restore full, pain-free shoulder function.
Lower Back Pain
Stiffness or sharp pain with bending or sitting
Pain radiating into the hip or leg
Muscle spasm or reduced mobility
Difficulty standing up straight after sitting
How We Treat It
Diagnostic evaluation, targeted chiropractic care (Flexion/Distraction, Diversified, and other evidence-based techniques matched to your presentation).
Our Treatment Framework
Overcome. Perform. Empower.
A structured, three-phase recovery plan — not open-ended visits. Every phase has a clear clinical goal and an expected timeline.
1
Overcome
2x/week for 6 weeks
Resolve acute pain and inflammation, restore joint mobility, and address the underlying biomechanical pathology caused by the collision.
2
Perform
1x/week for 6 weeks
Rebuild strength and stability with functional exercise progressions, returning you to work, activity, and daily life with confidence.
3
Empower
Ongoing, as needed
Maintenance care focused on long-term function and preventing re-injury, once you’ve reached maximum medical improvement (MMI).
How We Treat
Our Treatment Modalities
Every treatment plan is built from a combination of the following, based on your specific diagnosis and imaging findings.
SW
Focused Shockwave Therapy
Using the STORZ Duolith SD1, focused shockwave stimulates deep tissue healing for shoulder, soft tissue, and chronic pain that hasn’t responded to other conservative care — without drugs or surgery.
DC
Evidence-Based Chiropractic Adjustment
Flexion/Distraction, Thompson Drop, Modified Activator, and Diversified techniques, selected based on your presentation — never one-size-fits-all.
CT
Cervical Traction
Gently restores normal cervical curve and reduces nerve root irritation common after whiplash-associated disorders.
EX
Functional Exercise
Progressive, supervised rehabilitation exercises that rebuild strength and stability and reduce the risk of chronic pain.
MT
Manual Therapy & TENS
Hands-on soft tissue work and TENS therapy to manage pain and support tissue healing between visits.

How soon after a car accident should I see a chiropractor?
As soon as possible — ideally within the first 72 hours. Many soft tissue injuries don’t produce noticeable pain right away, and early evaluation both supports better outcomes and creates a clear, timely medical record connecting your injuries to the accident.
Will my insurance cover treatment?
In most cases, Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage applies to auto-accident-related chiropractic care. We bill PIP directly, and for patients working with an attorney, we accept Letters of Protection so treatment isn’t delayed.
Is chiropractic care safe after a car accident?
Yes. Every patient receives a full evaluation before any treatment begins, and care is tailored to the specific injury and clinical findings — not a generic adjustment. When indicated, we also use electrodiagnostic testing and imaging referrals to rule out more serious injury before beginning care.
What if I don’t have an attorney yet?
That’s completely fine — you don’t need one to begin treatment. Many patients start care right away and decide separately whether to consult an attorney about their claim.
How long does treatment typically take?
Most patients move through our three-phase Overcome → Perform → Empower framework over roughly 12 weeks, though timelines vary based on injury severity and individual progress. You’ll always know which phase you’re in and what to expect next.
