At Alternative Health Center, we know how overwhelming it can be after a car accident or injury. That’s why we’ve gathered the most common questions our patients ask when starting their recovery. Whether you're dealing with back pain, navigating insurance paperwork, or just not sure what to do next, we're here to guide you every step of the way.
Whiplash, neck and back injuries, herniated discs, joint pain, and soft tissue damage are very common. These injuries often appear days after the accident.
No. Symptoms often appear later. Even if you feel okay, it’s best to get evaluated right away to catch hidden injuries and start recovery early.
Chiropractic treatments realign the spine, relieve pressure on nerves, reduce inflammation, and help the body heal naturally. They are non-invasive and medication-free.
Every case is different. Mild injuries may resolve in a few visits; more serious trauma can take weeks or months. We create personalized plans for every patient.
Car accidents can cause misalignments and micro-tears in muscles or ligaments that don’t show up right away. Ignoring them can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and long-term complications. Early chiropractic care:
PIP (Personal Injury Protection) is part of your auto insurance in New Jersey. It covers medical care after an accident, including chiropractic and rehabilitation services.
In most cases, no. If your treatment is covered under PIP, we will bill your auto insurance directly. Our team helps you verify benefits and manage paperwork.
If you were a passenger or pedestrian, the driver's PIP policy or a state-guaranteed provider may still cover your treatment. We’ll help guide you through it.
For minor cases, it might not be necessary. For more serious injuries or insurance disputes, a personal injury attorney can help you get proper compensation.
Yes. We work closely with attorneys and provide injury documentation, progress reports, and case summaries as needed.
Yes, in a good way. Prompt and consistent care strengthens your legal case by proving the injury and showing a clear timeline of treatment.
Completely. Car accidents can cause trauma. If you feel nervous driving, can’t sleep, or feel overwhelmed, it’s important to talk to someone. We can refer you to the right professionals.
Not at all. Start now. We’ll evaluate your condition, document symptoms, and get you started on the right treatment plan.
In most cases, yes—especially with early and consistent care. We combine chiropractic, rehab, and modern therapy to help you get back to normal.
