About This Service

Car Accident Injuries

If you have been involved in a car accident, the moments, days, and weeks after the collision are critical for your health and your legal claim. At Mayfield Advanced Chiropractic, we provide integrated medical and chiropractic care designed specifically for auto accident injuries. Our team understands the unique challenges accident victims face — from navigating insurance claims to dealing with the stress of lost transportation and missed work.

Many car accident injuries, especially whiplash and soft tissue damage, do not produce immediate symptoms. It is common for pain, stiffness, headaches, and neurological symptoms to appear days or even weeks after the collision. That delayed onset is precisely why early evaluation is essential. Our comprehensive accident assessment includes medical evaluation, chiropractic examination, and diagnostic imaging when indicated. We document your injuries thoroughly — not only to guide treatment but to provide the clinical records that may be necessary for insurance or legal proceedings.

Our integrated treatment approach combines chiropractic adjustment to restore spinal alignment, medical evaluation and management for pain and inflammation, rehabilitation exercises to rebuild strength and stability, and therapeutic modalities such as electrical muscle stimulation and ultrasound to accelerate healing. We coordinate all aspects of your care under one roof, eliminating the need to visit multiple providers. Whether you are dealing with whiplash, spinal trauma, herniated discs, concussion symptoms, or soft tissue injuries such as sprains and strains, our goal is to return you to full function as quickly and safely as possible. We serve accident victims throughout Alexandria, Pineville, and all of Central Louisiana.

Common Questions

Car Accident Injuries FAQ

As soon as possible — ideally within 72 hours. Many injuries worsen when left untreated, and delayed treatment can also complicate insurance claims. Even if you feel fine after the accident, a professional evaluation can detect hidden injuries before they become chronic problems.

In most cases, yes. Louisiana law requires auto insurance policies to include medical payments coverage, and chiropractic care is a covered service. We work with most auto insurance providers and can help you understand your coverage. We also coordinate with personal injury attorneys when applicable.

If another driver was at fault, their liability insurance typically covers your medical expenses, including chiropractic treatment. Our thorough documentation practices ensure that all injuries and treatments are properly recorded to support your claim.
