Even a low-speed collision can strain the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the spine. Adrenaline often masks pain in the moments after a crash, so injuries like whiplash may not become obvious until later. A prompt evaluation allows Dr. Renteria to identify hidden injuries early and begin treatment before the problem becomes chronic. The sooner you are assessed, the better your odds of a full, faster recovery.
Our exam-first approach means your care is based on what is actually happening in your body, not guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after a car accident should I see a chiropractor?
As soon as possible. Many injuries do not cause obvious pain right away, and early evaluation helps prevent long-term problems and supports a faster recovery.
Can a chiropractor help with whiplash?
Yes. Chiropractic care is well suited to whiplash and other soft-tissue and spinal injuries common after collisions. Dr. Renteria tailors treatment to your specific injuries.
What if my pain started days after the accident?
Delayed pain is very common after an accident. You should still be evaluated, because treating the injury early leads to better outcomes.
