Been in a Car Accident?

Whether it was a major crash or just a fender-bender, a car accident can shake up more than just your day—it can impact your body in ways that might not be obvious right away. At Revamp Chiropractic, we see it all the time: someone gets rear-ended, feels “okay” at first, but a few days later, the headaches, stiffness, and pain start creeping in. That’s why knowing what to do immediately after an accident—especially here in Florida—is crucial.

Let’s walk through the steps you need to take to protect your health, your finances, and your future after an accident.

The 14-Day Rule: Why Timing Is Everything

Florida law says you must seek medical attention within 14 days of a motor vehicle accident to qualify for up to $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. That includes care from providers like chiropractors, MDs, and urgent care centers.

Miss that deadline? You may lose your right to use your auto insurance coverage for medical care—even if your pain worsens later. That’s why acting quickly is so important.

Why Chiropractic Care Is a Smart First Step

After an accident, most injuries are invisible. You may not have cuts or bruises, but your neck, spine, and soft tissues absorb a ton of force—even at low speeds.

Common post-accident issues we treat at Revamp Chiropractic include:

Whiplash
Back pain
Shoulder and hip misalignments
Concussions and tension headaches
Radiating pain or numbness in the arms or legs

We perform detailed evaluations and can detect subtle misalignments or soft tissue injuries that often go overlooked in the ER or urgent care.

2. Document the Scene.
