How care works here

  • An exam before any treatment

    Each first visit starts with your history and an exam. If you need an X-ray, we say why.

  • Rehab is part of every plan

    You learn exercises on our rehab floor and repeat them at home to rebuild strength.

  • We handle the auto claim

    Our claims coordinator opens your PIP claim and keeps the records your adjuster asks for.

  • Same-day injury visits

    Call by 10:00 on a weekday and we can see you that day in most cases.

Questions patients ask

A towel, water bottle and resistance band on a rehab bench

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

No. You can call and book an injury exam yourself. If your health plan asks for a referral, we tell you before your visit.

How soon can I be seen after a car crash?

Most weekdays the same day, if you call before 10:00. Florida PIP pays for medical care only if you get initial care within 14 days of the crash, so do not wait to see whether the pain goes away.

Do you bill my auto insurance?

Yes. We bill Florida PIP directly and open the claim at your first visit. Bring your claim number and your adjuster's name if you have them.
