“After a car accident I couldn't turn my head for weeks. Dr. Propper got me in the next day and worked with my auto insurance. Within a month I had my full range of motion back. Can't recommend enough.”

Auto Accident Injury
treated properly.
You were in a car accident. Maybe it was a serious crash, or maybe it was just a fender-bender that didn't seem like a big deal at the time. But now your neck is stiff, your back aches, and something just doesn't feel right. Whiplash and soft tissue injuries don't always show up immediately — and the longer you wait, the harder they are to treat.
What causes it
What causes auto accident injury.
Auto accidents — even low-speed ones — create sudden, violent forces that the spine isn't designed to absorb.
- Whiplash from rear-end collisions
- Soft tissue injuries (sprains, strains, micro-tears)
- Disc injuries from impact force
- Misalignment of the cervical and thoracic spine
- Delayed-onset injuries that appear days or weeks after the accident

Questions patients ask
Auto Accident Injury FAQs.
Should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?
Yes, even if you feel fine. Many auto accident injuries — especially whiplash — don't produce symptoms for days or weeks. Early evaluation and treatment leads to significantly better outcomes.
Does auto insurance cover chiropractic care?
Yes, in most cases. Connecticut auto insurance policies typically include PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage that pays for chiropractic treatment after an accident. We handle the insurance paperwork for you.
How soon after an accident should I come in?
As soon as possible — ideally within 48-72 hours. This is important both for your health and for documenting the connection between the accident and your injuries for insurance purposes. Call us at (203) 226-1047 and we'll get you in quickly.
