Auto and Personal Injury in Costa Mesa

Specialized Care When You Need It Most

Man holding neck in pain after accident At Coast Family Chiropractic, we understand that auto accidents can cause hidden injuries that may not be immediately apparent. Dr. Rod Escobedo and our caring team provide specialized care for patients who have experienced auto accidents or personal injuries. Our comprehensive approach includes thorough assessment, personalized treatment plans, and direct coordination with insurance companies and attorneys to ensure you can focus solely on your recovery.

The Hidden Impact of Auto Accidents

Auto accidents can create trauma in your body that you might not even realize exists until days later. Many of our patients, including our own staff who have experienced accidents firsthand, report that pain and discomfort often intensify 2-3 days after the initial incident. This delayed reaction is why immediate evaluation is crucial—even if you feel fine immediately after an accident. By seeking prompt chiropractic care, you protect both your health and your potential insurance claims.

Our Comprehensive Personal Injury Approach

Your personal injury evaluation at Coast Family Chiropractic is more extensive than our standard new patient appointments. During your 45-60 minute initial visit, Dr. Escobedo performs a thorough examination including six specialized X-rays to document your condition. This detailed assessment allows us to create a treatment plan specifically tailored to address accident-related injuries such as whiplash, back pain, and disc issues. We work directly with insurance companies and attorneys, allowing you to concentrate entirely on healing.

What to Expect During Recovery

Most auto accident patients receive treatment for approximately three months, after which Dr. Escobedo conducts follow-up X-rays to assess your progress. These comparative images provide visual evidence of your improvement and help determine whether additional care is needed. Our goal is to help you return to your pre-accident condition as quickly and completely as possible. Throughout your recovery, we carefully document your progress to support any insurance or legal proceedings related to your accident.

Common Questions About Auto Accident Care

Should I get checked even if I don’t feel pain? Absolutely. Pain often appears days after an accident, and saying you’re “fine” immediately after can complicate later insurance claims if symptoms develop.
Will my insurance cover chiropractic care after an accident? In most cases, yes. We work directly with insurance companies and attorneys to handle the paperwork and claims process.
How soon after an accident should I seek care? As soon as possible—ideally within 24-48 hours—even if you’re not experiencing symptoms yet.
