Auto Accident Injury Care
The Woodlands & Spring, Texas

Whiplash, back injuries, and soft tissue damage after a car accident require specialized care. Dr. Etemadi provides thorough documentation and effective treatment — and we work directly with personal injury attorneys and insurance carriers.

⚠️  Don't Wait. Auto accident injuries often don't show symptoms for 24–72 hours. Early evaluation and documentation is critical — both for your health and any insurance claim.

Car Accident Chiropractor in The Woodlands

The forces involved in even a low-speed collision can cause significant damage to the spine, discs, muscles, and ligaments — damage that may not be visible on a standard X-ray but can cause months or years of pain if left untreated.

Whiplash — the sudden forward-and-back motion of the neck in a collision — is the most common auto injury. It overstretches the ligaments and muscles of the cervical spine, often causing misalignment that generates nerve irritation, headaches, shoulder pain, and upper back tightness.

Dr. Etemadi specializes in identifying and treating the full spectrum of auto accident injuries, from acute whiplash to herniated discs caused by impact. Equally important, he provides thorough documentation of your injuries — which is essential if you are working with an insurance company or personal injury attorney.

We Work With Your Attorney & Insurer

If you were injured in an accident that was not your fault, your medical treatment may be covered by the at-fault driver's liability insurance — often with no out-of-pocket cost to you.

Personal Injury (PI) Cases

Dr. Etemadi provides detailed medical records, treatment notes, and reports that personal injury attorneys need to document your injuries and support your claim. We accept attorney cases and coordinate directly with your legal team.

Insurance Billing

We accept PIP (Personal Injury Protection) claims and MedPay, and bill auto insurance carriers directly. Our staff can help you understand your benefits and ensure your treatment is properly covered from the start.

Auto Injury Questions

I feel fine after my accident — do I still need to come in?
Yes — strongly. Adrenaline and inflammation often mask pain in the first 24–72 hours after a collision. Whiplash, disc injuries, and ligament damage may not produce symptoms until days or even weeks later. Early evaluation establishes a medical record documenting your injuries at their onset, which is important for both your health and any insurance or legal matter.
How soon after an accident should I come in?
As soon as possible — ideally within 72 hours. We offer same-week appointments for accident patients. Early treatment typically leads to faster recovery and better outcomes.
What do I need to bring to my first appointment?
Bring your insurance information (auto and health), the accident report number if available, and any other medical documentation you've received. If you have an attorney, please provide their contact information as well.
Will I need to pay anything out of pocket?
In many cases, no. If the other driver was at fault, their liability insurance typically covers your medical treatment. We also bill MedPay coverage through your own auto insurance. Our staff will review your specific situation at your first visit.
Do you accept PIP?
Yes. We accept Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claims and MedPay as well as attorney cases. Bring your auto insurance information and claim number to your first visit and we will help you understand your coverage.
What if my symptoms don't improve?
Most patients improve over three to four weeks of care. If your symptoms aren't improving as expected, Dr. Etemadi will refer you for an MRI and, depending on the results, coordinate a referral to a pain management specialist.
