The Chisholm Trail Parkway and Hulen Street corridor carries a steady stream of traffic through Southwest Fort Worth every day, and it doesn’t take a dramatic wreck to leave you hurting. A rear-end tap at a red light or a sideswipe merging onto the parkway can jolt your body hard enough to cause real injury — even when the car damage looks minor. At Prime Spine & Wellness, car accident patients aren’t the exception at our Fort Worth office. They’re a core part of who we treat every week.

03Your attorney
If you’re represented by an attorney, we coordinate with them directly and accept Letters of Protection and fee reductions, so nothing is due out of pocket while your case is open.

Get checked in the first few days, whether or not you feel hurt yet.
Why Symptoms Often Show Up Late
Most people leave the scene of a crash feeling rattled but functional, then wake up the next day unable to turn their head or stand up straight. That’s adrenaline — it suppresses pain signals right after an accident, and once it fades, injuries that were already there start announcing themselves. This is why we tell every accident patient the same thing: get checked in the first few days, whether or not you feel hurt yet.
What We Commonly See After a Crash
Tap a point on the figure or an item in the list.
Your First Visit
Our chiropractors start every accident case with a full evaluation before any treatment: how the crash happened, your current range of motion, orthopedic tests, and a clear record of every symptom you report. That documentation isn’t just for your file — if you have an attorney or an open claim, an early and thorough exam matters to how your case is understood.
Handling the Financial Side
You shouldn’t have to choose between getting care and worrying about a bill. If you’re represented by an attorney, we coordinate with them directly and accept Letters of Protection and fee reductions, so nothing is due out of pocket while your case is open. If you don’t have an attorney we can bill the auto insurance directly. If none of those are an option for you then we can still work with you to make sure you heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
I feel mostly fine — do I still need to get checked out?
It’s worth it. Feeling okay right after a crash is common even with real injuries, since adrenaline can delay symptoms for a day or two. An early exam catches problems before they become chronic.
How soon should I come in after an accident?
Within the first few days is ideal. Waiting weeks makes injuries both harder to treat and harder to connect back to the accident if your case involves a claim.
Do you accept Letters of Protection?
Yes, at every Prime Spine & Wellness location, including Fort Worth. Full details are on our Letter of Protection FAQ page.
I don’t have a lawyer yet — can I still be treated?
Yes. Legal representation isn’t required to be seen here, and we’re happy to talk through your options if you’re not sure whether you need one.
