Request an AppointmentWhy Early Care After a Personal Injury Matters
Many people involved in an auto accident or a fall feel fine at first, or have only minor symptoms. Stiffness, aching, headaches or tingling can show up days or even weeks later. By then, the injury may have been affecting the way you move for some time. A thorough exam soon after an injury helps identify problems early, so you can start the right care before they become harder to treat.

Personal Injury Care FAQs
How soon should I get checked after an accident or fall?
It is best to be seen as soon as you can, even if you feel okay. Symptoms often take days or weeks to appear, and an early exam can catch problems before they become more difficult to treat.
Why do I feel fine right after an accident but sore later?
After an accident, your body releases adrenaline, which can mask pain. Inflammation and muscle tightness also build gradually, so stiffness, headaches and aching often surface a few days to several weeks later.
What types of personal injuries do you treat?
We help patients in Tulsa recover from auto accidents, falls and other injuries that cause neck pain, back pain, headaches, joint pain and soft tissue strain. If you are unsure whether we can help, give us a call at (918) 664-8281.
What happens at my first visit?
We will talk with you about how the injury happened and what symptoms you are having, then perform an exam to understand how the injury is affecting your body. We will explain what we find and recommend a care plan that fits your needs.
How long will my recovery take?
Recovery time depends on the type and severity of your injury, your overall health and how soon you begin care. After your exam, we will give you a clearer idea of what to expect and adjust your plan as you improve.
Is chiropractic care safe after an injury?
Your care plan is based on your exam findings and the nature of your injury. We tailor treatment to your condition and comfort level, and we will always explain your options before starting.
Do I need to schedule an appointment first?
Yes, we recommend scheduling an appointment so we can set aside the time to evaluate you properly. You can request a visit online or call our Tulsa office at (918) 664-8281.
