Trusted Auto Accident Chiropractic Care That Treats the Injury and Protects Your Case
Being in a car accident is stressful enough without having to figure out where to go for help. Whether your accident happened on Valencia, Grant Road, or anywhere else in Tucson, injuries like whiplash, back pain, and headaches can take hours or even days to appear. At Arizona Chiropractic and Spine Rehabilitation, we specialize in helping patients recover properly with care that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
With over 29 years of experience, Dr. David Heaton is a trusted auto accident chiropractor in Tucson, AZ known for thorough evaluations and precise documentation, both of which are critical for your recovery and your personal injury case.
Get Evaluated Right Away. It Matters More Than You Think.
One of the most important things you can do after an auto accident is get examined immediately, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline and shock can mask pain and neurological symptoms for a day or two after a collision. Insurance companies only compensate for what is properly documented, and the sooner Dr. Heaton evaluates you, the better protected you are both physically and for your case.
Our office accommodates personal injury patients outside of regular hours when needed. Do not wait for the pain to get worse before reaching out.
Common Auto Accident Injuries We Treat
Auto accidents put sudden, intense force on your body that your muscles and spine are simply not designed to absorb. Injuries do not always announce themselves right away, which is why a thorough evaluation after any collision is so important. Common conditions we treat include:
● Whiplash and cervical spine trauma
● Neck pain and upper back pain following impact
● Herniated or bulging discs from collision forces
● Headaches and migraines that develop after an accident
● Shoulder pain and radiating arm pain
● Sciatica and radiating leg pain from lumbar disc injuries
● Muscle tightness, stiffness, and reduced range of motion throughout the spine
How We Help You Recover
Dr. Heaton conducts a thorough evaluation of your spinal function and movement to understand the full picture of how the accident affected your body. From there, your treatment plan is built specifically around your injuries and your recovery goals.
Care may include chiropractic adjustments to restore spinal alignment, spinal decompression to relieve disc pressure, and targeted therapies including electrical muscle stimulation and infrared cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Dr. Heaton's detailed documentation also plays a critical role in supporting your case with insurance companies and attorneys throughout the recovery process.
We Coordinate Your Entire Care Team
Recovering from a serious auto injury often involves more than chiropractic care alone. Over 29 years in Tucson, Dr. Heaton has built trusted collaborative relationships with medical doctors across multiple specialties as well as experienced personal injury attorneys who understand how to protect your interests fully.
He works to coordinate your care across all the right professionals so you are not left navigating the medical, legal, and financial sides of a personal injury case on your own. His role is to make sure you receive every bit of care you need to return to pre-injury status.
We Also Believe in Educating Our Patients
Auto injuries often involve more than just pain. They can impact your nervous system, your mobility, and your long term health in ways that are not always immediately obvious. Part of what we do at Arizona Chiropractic and Spine Rehabilitation is help Tucson residents understand how to protect themselves before and after an accident.
From understanding your Medpay coverage to knowing your rights after a collision, our goal is to empower you to make informed decisions about your health and your recovery every step of the way.
No Upfront Costs. We Work on a Lien Basis.
Worrying about how to pay for care while recovering from an accident adds unnecessary stress at the worst possible time. Dr. Heaton works on a lien basis so you can focus entirely on healing without worrying about upfront or out-of-pocket expenses. We also work directly with auto insurance claims including Medpay coverage to make the process as smooth as possible for every patient.
Do Not Wait to Get Checked
The longer an auto injury goes untreated, the harder it can be to recover fully. Symptoms can be delayed, and early evaluation is one of the most critical steps you can take to protect both your health and your case.
If you have been in a collision anywhere in the Tucson area, call Arizona Chiropractic and Spine Rehabilitation today at (520) 600-3300 to schedule your evaluation.
