What to Expect from Car Injury Rehabilitation Treatment
Your First Visit
Your first appointment begins with a conversation and a thorough evaluation to understand your medical history, accident-related injuries, and how they’re affecting your movement, comfort, and daily function.
If needed, we’ll take digital X-rays to get a clearer picture of what’s going on beneath the surface.
This comprehensive assessment helps us create a personalized chiropractic care plan that supports your full recovery.
Based on our findings, your care plan may include:
-
Gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore proper joint motion and alignment
-
Soft tissue therapy to relieve muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and promote healing
-
Targeted stretching or guided rehabilitation exercises to rebuild strength and flexibility
-
Personalized home care or ergonomic recommendations to support recovery between visits
Ongoing Care
As you begin to feel better, we’ll continue to monitor your progress and adapt your treatment.
Follow-up visits focus on helping you heal fully, avoid chronic pain, and return to normal activity as safely and quickly as possible.
Your ongoing care may include:
-
Continued chiropractic adjustments to maintain proper alignment and mobility
-
Soft tissue therapies such as trigger point work, instrument-assisted techniques, or myofascial release
-
Therapeutic exercises to improve stability, flexibility, and strength and prevent re-injury
-
Physiotherapy modalities like ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, or laser therapy to decrease inflammation and speed tissue repair
-
Posture and ergonomic guidance to support long-term results

Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Get Checked
Even minor accidents can cause neck or back injuries that don’t show up right away.
You might feel fine in the moment because adrenaline can temporarily mask pain, but your body still took the impact and symptoms like pain, stiffness, headaches, or tingling may develop days or even weeks later as inflammation builds or hidden injuries surface.
At Northeast Chiropractic, our job is to help you bounce back - not just feel better temporarily.
Rideshare Accidents: What to Know
Whether you were riding in an Uber or Lyft - or driving for a rideshare company - it’s very common for symptoms to show up later. Many people feel okay right after the accident, only to notice pain hours or even days afterward.
What Makes Rideshare Accidents Different
Rideshare injuries are similar to other car accidents, but a few factors can increase risk:
-
Passengers don’t usually control seat or headrest position
-
Many riders are looking down at their phones at the moment of impact
-
Drivers spend long hours sitting and may already have built-up tension
-
Rideshare drivers may also notice more mid-back, shoulder, or low-back tension from bracing during impact.
The first important step is to schedule an early evaluation, before symptoms progress.
Wondering if Your Care Will Be Covered?
If you’ve been in a car accident, insurance coverage for chiropractic care can be confusing - but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Minnesota is a “no-fault” insurance state, which generally means your own auto insurance may include Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits that help cover medical care like chiropractic after an accident regardless of who caused it.
Coverage varies from person to person, so we’ll walk you through what’s typically involved and work with your insurance provider directly when possible.
Getting clarity on your coverage can make recovery feel a little easier — and we’re here to support you so you can focus on healing.
Rideshare Accidents & Insurance
If your accident happened during an Uber or Lyft ride - whether you were the passenger or the driver - there may be additional coverage available.
Here are a few helpful things to know:
-
Uber and Lyft carry extra insurance while a ride is in progress. This often means passengers have coverage available for care.
-
Passengers are almost never considered at fault. This typically makes the process of getting care more straightforward.
-
Drivers may have access to multiple layers of coverage. Coverage can depend on whether the app was off, waiting for a ride, on the way to a pickup, or transporting a passenger.
You don’t need to sort out the details right away. Our role is to document your injuries clearly and support your recovery. Your insurer or attorney (if involved) can guide the rest.
