FAQ
Questions accident patients ask us
How soon after an accident should I see a chiropractor?
As soon as possible. Delayed treatment can complicate your recovery and your case. We offer same-day appointments. Even if you feel fine in the first 24-48 hours, soft tissue injuries often surface later. Getting evaluated early establishes a baseline and protects your case.
Do I need a referral from my doctor or attorney?
No. You can call us directly. If you already have an attorney, we are happy to coordinate with their office. If you do not, we focus on your treatment and you can sort the rest separately.
Do you take Spanish-speaking patients?
Yes. Dr. Cazares is fully bilingual in English and Spanish. Many of our staff are also bilingual. Tu cuidado en español está siempre disponible.
Will you provide records for my case?
Yes. We document thoroughly from your first visit (exam findings, mechanism of injury, treatment, progress) and we can produce narrative reports when your attorney requests them. The records are built to be useful, not to be reconstructed later.
Do you have on-site X-ray?
Yes. X-rays are taken right here in our office. If MRI or advanced imaging is needed, we coordinate through our partner imaging center to keep things moving fast.
What if I need a specialist?
We have established referral relationships with pain management, orthopedics, and neurology in Stockton and the surrounding area. If your case needs specialist involvement, we coordinate the referral and document the medical necessity.
How do I pay for chiropractic care after a car accident?
You have options. If your auto policy has MedPay coverage, it can pay for your care. We bill auto insurance directly for personal injury cases. If you have an attorney, we accept a letter of protection, so you can start care before your case settles. Call us and we will explain your options.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring a photo ID, your health insurance card if you have one, your auto insurance information, and your attorney’s contact details if you have an attorney. Also bring any X-rays, MRI results, or medical records from after the accident.
How long is the first visit?
Plan for about 45 minutes to one hour. We take a full history, do a complete exam, and usually take X-rays here in the office. Follow-up visits are usually 15 to 20 minutes.
What are your hours, and can I be seen today?
We are open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM. We are closed Saturday and Sunday. Same-day appointments are often available. Call (209) 477-7777 to check today’s openings.
