The hours and days after a car accident or slip-and-fall are critical. Even when you feel "okay," whiplash and soft-tissue injuries often surface days later. At LA Chiro Care in Sherman Oaks, Dr. Nick provides focused injury care to assess the damage early and guide your full recovery.
Injuries we treat
- Whiplash and neck strain
- Back, shoulder, and hip pain from impact
- Headaches and reduced range of motion
- Soft-tissue injuries from slip-and-falls
Why early treatment matters
Adrenaline can mask pain after a crash. An early chiropractic assessment catches injuries before they become chronic, and starts treatment while tissues are still healing. Dr. Nick combines adjustments with laser therapy and soft-tissue work to reduce inflammation and rebuild healthy movement.
Documentation & billing support
From auto-vs-auto collisions to slip-and-fall injuries, our clinic provides the care and the documentation you need. See our dedicated personal injury & slip-and-fall care page for more detail.

Frequently asked questions
How soon after an accident should I see a chiropractor?
As soon as possible — ideally within a few days. Early assessment helps catch whiplash and soft-tissue injuries before they turn into long-term pain.
I feel fine after my accident. Should I still get checked?
Yes. Adrenaline often masks injuries for days. A quick assessment gives you peace of mind and documents any injuries while they're still treatable.
Do you handle auto-accident documentation or liens?
We provide the documentation your claim requires and will discuss auto-accident billing options with you before care begins.
Can you treat slip-and-fall injuries too?
Absolutely. Slip-and-fall injuries involve the same soft-tissue and joint damage as collisions, and Dr. Nick treats both with a tailored recovery plan.
Do I need a police report to be seen?
No — you can be seen regardless of whether a police report was filed. We'll help you understand what documentation your specific situation may need.
What if I already saw an ER doctor?
That's common and doesn't change anything — chiropractic care can work alongside emergency treatment to address soft-tissue and joint injuries an ER visit typically doesn't resolve.
