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. Injuries like whiplash, back pain, and headaches can take hours or even days to appear after a collision. At Arizona Chiropractic and Spine Rehabilitation, we help patients recover properly by addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms.
With over 29 years of experience, Dr. David Heaton is a trusted auto accident chiropractor in Tucson known for thorough evaluations and precise documentation, trusted by countless injury victims, both critical for your recovery and your personal injury case.
Get Evaluated Right Away. It Matters More Than You Think
One of the most important steps after an auto accident is getting examined immediately, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline and shock can mask pain and neurological symptoms for a day or two after a collision. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, whiplash and soft tissue injuries are among the most commonly delayed-onset injuries following a collision.
Our office accommodates personal injury patients outside of regular hours when needed. Do not wait for the pain to get worse.
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 builds a treatment plan specifically around your injuries and recovery goals. Depending on your condition, care may include any combination of the following services:
● Chiropractic adjustments to restore spinal alignment
● Spinal decompression to relieve disc pressure
● Infrared cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing
● Electrical muscle stimulation to relax muscles and reduce pain
● Hyperbaric oxygen therapy to accelerate recovery at the cellular level
● Rehabilitation therapy to rebuild strength and restore function
Dr. Heaton's detailed documentation also plays a critical role in supporting your case with insurance companies and attorneys.
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.
No Upfront Costs. We Work on a Lien Basis.
Worrying about how to pay for care while recovering adds unnecessary stress. Dr. Heaton works on a lien basis so you can focus entirely on healing. We also work directly with auto insurance claims including Medpay coverage. The CDC reports that motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of injury in the United States, making prompt and proper care more important than ever.
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.
