Will my auto insurance company pay for my chiropractic treatment?
Florida law states that you must seek attention within this timespan. Many Florida drivers are unaware of this law that can take away your ability to have your medical care covered by your auto insurance.
Even if the accident was your fault, your treatment will be covered by your auto insurance. Florida is considered a “no-fault state,” so no matter who was at fault, your own personal auto insurance will cover the cost of your treatment, and there will be no out-of-pocket expenses as long as you are a Florida resident.
It is urgent that you seek care within 2 weeks of your accident! This goes for any of the passengers in your car as well.

Does a chiropractor render medical services under PIP law?
Massage therapists and acupuncturists cannot bill PIP for medical services rendered. Furthermore, massage therapy and acupuncture services are no longer covered even when a medical doctor is overseeing such services.
Should I see a chiropractor after my accident?
Chiropractic care after an accident can cost thousands of dollars, and if you do it right, your insurance will be covering the bill. If you wait too long, you will be covering the bill or living in pain. You should always seek the care of a chiropractor after a car accident.
Every day in America, nearly one million chiropractic adjustments are given. Complications are exceedingly rare, as is evidenced by the negligible malpractice insurance rates paid by most chiropractic physicians. Insurance companies deem chiropractors many times safer than medical physicians prescribing pharmaceuticals.
What does a chiropractic adjustment do?
- A chiropractic adjustment stimulates sensory nerve receptors in the nervous system to block pain and normalize transmission of sensory and motor nerve signals.
- An adjustment stretches the surrounding muscles to relieve spasm and restore proper motion, contraction, and joint stability.
- An adjustment briefly and gently separates the joint, expanding it and circulating joint fluid to restore the normal range of motion.
- An adjustment promotes faster healing by increasing lymph and blood flow to the area, bringing in nutrients and removing waste.
