What Happens in a Collision
The Body Absorbs Real Force in a
Collision
During a rear-end or side-impact collision, the head and neck are thrown forward, backward, or sideways faster than the surrounding muscles can react. That sudden motion strains the soft tissue and joints of the neck and spine. Patients often arrive with neck pain, back pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
These symptoms often appear hours or days after the crash rather than immediately. Delayed onset is one of the most common reasons patients wait too long to get evaluated. Mission Chiropractic Care is a chiropractic clinic on Mission Blvd in Hayward, CA, specializing in auto accident recovery for residents across the East Bay. Dr. Hanh Tran brings 22 years of experience treating collision-related injuries.
Certain spinal injuries become harder to treat the longer they go unaddressed. Getting checked out early gives you a clearer picture of what is actually going on.
How Recovery Works
Dr. Tran Builds a Recovery Plan Around Your Auto Accident Injury
Dr. Hanh Tran evaluates each patient individually before recommending a course of treatment. Depending on the injury, care may include chiropractic adjustments, chiropractic bodywork, dry needling, electrical muscle stimulation, mechanical traction, massage therapy, and physical therapy. A patient with neck stiffness and reduced mobility after a rear-end collision might receive spinal adjustments alongside mechanical traction to address disc pressure, with dry needling or electrical muscle stimulation added if muscle tension is a factor.
Mission Chiropractic Care is by appointment only and has served East Bay patients since 2004. New patients should call ahead to schedule their first visit. Many auto accident cases overlap clinically with
personal injury chiropractic care.

Do I need to see a medical doctor before coming to a chiropractor after a car accident?
In most cases, no referral is needed. Dr. Tran evaluates each new patient thoroughly at the first visit, which helps determine the best course of care. If imaging or additional medical attention is needed, you'll be advised at that point. Call ahead to schedule; first-time patients should not walk in.
I don't have any pain right now. Should I still get checked out after an accident?
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations Dr. Tran sees. Neck stiffness, back pain, and reduced mobility often don't show up right away after a collision. Getting assessed early means problems can be identified before they become harder to treat. Don't wait for the pain to get worse before calling.
Will my auto insurance cover chiropractic care after an accident?
Many auto insurance policies include Personal Injury Protection, or MedPay, coverage that applies to chiropractic care after a collision. Coverage varies by policy, so the best step is to call your insurer to confirm your benefits. You're also welcome to call our office at (510) 888-9460 with any questions.
How soon after a car accident should I come in?
As soon as possible. Soft tissue injuries and spinal issues are generally more responsive to treatment when addressed early. Waiting weeks to seek care can allow inflammation and compensation patterns to set in, which makes recovery longer. Call (510) 888-9460 to get on the schedule quickly after your accident.
Do I need to bring anything to my first appointment?
It helps to bring any documentation you have from the accident, the police report, your insurance card, and any paperwork from the other party if available. If you don't have everything yet, don't worry. Call ahead to schedule your first visit at (510) 888-9460, and the staff can walk you through what to expect.
