Care for Auto Injuries at Live Oak Chiropractic

Been in a car accident? Don't wait. Injuries from auto accidents often appear days later — the sooner you are treated, the better your outcome. Live Oak Chiropractic offers same-day appointments for accident patients in Atlantic Beach and the greater Jacksonville area.

A car accident can leave you with pain, stiffness, and injuries that do not always show up right away. Whiplash, back strain, neck pain, and soft tissue damage are among the most common — and most undertreated — consequences of auto accidents. Dr. Alyssa Smith, D.C. provides compassionate, evidence-based care and works directly with your personal injury protection (PIP) auto insurance, so most patients have little to no out-of-pocket cost.

Why You Should Not Wait After an Accident

After a car accident, adrenaline and shock can mask pain. Many patients feel fine in the first 24–48 hours — then wake up unable to turn their head or get out of bed comfortably. Early chiropractic care helps:

• Reduce inflammation before it becomes chronic

• Restore proper spinal alignment and joint function

• Prevent acute injuries from becoming long-term conditions

• Accurately document your injuries for insurance or legal purposes

Auto Accident Injuries We Treat

• Whiplash and neck strain

• Low back pain and lumbar strain

• Shoulder and mid-back pain

• Numbness or tingling in arms or legs

How Auto Insurance (PIP) Works in Florida

Florida is a no-fault insurance state, which means your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays for medical treatment after an accident regardless of who was at fault. PIP typically covers up to 80% of medical bills, including chiropractic care, up to your policy limit.

Important: Florida law requires you to seek medical treatment within 14 days of an accident to preserve your PIP benefits. Do not delay.

What to bring to your first appointment: your auto insurance information, the accident report if available, and a list of your symptoms — even ones that seem minor.
