How it works
What to expect with auto accident care
- Step 1
Examination and evaluation
Dr. Mousavi speaks with you to determine the probable cause of your injury, then examines what is out of alignment and what specifically might be causing the pain and discomfort.
- Step 2
Documentation you can use
You receive a professional assessment you can use for your own records, for your insurance company, or for your legal team — following the specific protocol a claim requires.
- Step 3
A customized treatment plan
Because every person and every injury is unique, there is no one-size-fits-all process. Your plan takes into account the nature of the injury and your condition before and after it.

The basics
About auto accident care
When you are in a car accident, your body ricochets between the seatbelt and seat, which can cause whiplash. If you have your hands on the steering wheel or stick-shift, your wrist may experience sprains and strains, and your knees may impact the dash, causing bruising and injuries to the knees. You may also experience shoulder injuries from being held back by the seatbelt, and herniated discs in your lower back and neck.
Depending on your injury, you may experience a wide range of symptoms. If you have whiplash, you may experience an increase in headaches, a stiff or sore neck, and sensitivity to light and sound. In severe instances, you may also experience pain and soreness in your upper back and tingling down one or both arms. If you have a joint injury in your knees, wrists, or shoulders, you may experience pain, inflammation, and loss of range of motion. If you experienced a herniated disc during your accident, you may have pain in the area of the disc herniation as well as pain that radiates into the legs.

Signs you have a car accident injury that needs chiropractic treatment
Depending on your auto accident injury, you may experience a wide range of symptoms. If you have whiplash, you may experience an increase in headaches, a stiff or sore neck, and sensitivity to light and sound. In severe instances, you may also experience pain and soreness in your upper back and tingling down one or both arms.
If you have a joint injury in your knees, wrists, or shoulders, you may experience pain, inflammation, and loss of range of motion. If you experienced a herniated disc during your accident, you may have pain in the area of the disc herniation as well as pain that radiates into the legs.
Auto accident injury treatments from Dr. Mousavi
Chiropractic adjustments and care
Chiropractic adjustments and our other care modalities are used to treat joint misalignments in the back, neck, and extremity joints. These treatments help decrease healing times, reduce inflammation, and improve the range of motion of the joints.
Targeted massage therapy
Targeted massage therapy is used to help relax muscles and tendons in order to reduce pain and inflammation while improving localized circulation. Massage therapy can be used before or after chiropractic adjustments.
Spinal decompression therapy
Spinal decompression therapy is used for treating herniated discs in the back and neck and unpinching compressed nerves. The treatment involves applying a targeted force to the specific area of the back or neck with the disc herniation in order to increase the spaces between the vertebrae. This gives the disc room to retract and heal.
Personal injury examinations and evaluations
Whether you were injured from simply shifting a heavy object, exercising, or from incorrect posture, examinations and evaluations are available at Divine Healing Chiropractic. When you visit, Dr. Mousavi will speak with you to determine the probable cause of your injury. This assessment helps us evaluate the possible severity of the injury and the location of the pain or discomfort.
In some instances, the injury has to do with a legal claim, in which case a very specific protocol of examinations and evaluations must be followed so that you have the correct paperwork to file with your attorney. You will receive a professional assessment which you can use for your own records, for your insurance company, or for your legal team — followed by a professional recommendation of treatment options designed to alleviate pain and facilitate recovery.

Every condition below is treated at our Laguna Niguel office. Tap any one to read how we approach it.
How soon after a car accident should I see a chiropractor?+
As soon as possible — ideally within 24–72 hours. Delayed symptoms are very common after crashes, but the sooner you establish a documented injury record, the stronger your treatment and any insurance claim will be. Waiting weeks to seek care can complicate coverage.
What is whiplash and how do you treat it?+
Whiplash is a soft-tissue injury of the neck caused by rapid acceleration-deceleration forces during a crash. It strains the muscles and ligaments and can restrict or injure the cervical spinal joints. We treat it with gentle chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and progressive rehab designed to restore full range of motion and strength.
I feel fine right now — do I still need to come in?+
Yes. Adrenaline and inflammation can mask pain for 24–72 hours, and some whiplash symptoms peak days after the collision. An early exam documents your condition before symptoms develop, which is important both for your health and for your insurance file.
Will my insurance cover chiropractic care after an accident?+
Coverage depends on your policy and the circumstances of the accident. Chiropractic care is a widely recognized treatment for crash-related injuries, and we document everything thoroughly for your insurer or attorney. Contact us and we can review your coverage before your first visit.
Will I have to pay out of pocket for treatment?+
It depends on your coverage. We help you understand your benefits and navigate the billing process, and we can also work with personal injury liens if you're represented by an attorney. We'll go over the details with you before care begins.
What conditions do you treat after a car accident?+
We treat whiplash, neck pain, back pain (upper, mid, and lower), headaches and migraines triggered by the crash, shoulder pain, and general soft-tissue sprains and strains. If your exam reveals a disc injury or nerve involvement, we add the appropriate therapies to your plan.
Is chiropractic treatment painful after a car accident?+
No. We adapt every technique to your current level of injury and discomfort. We never force an adjustment on acute, inflamed tissue. Most patients leave their first few visits feeling relief rather than soreness.
Can you provide documentation for my attorney or insurance company?+
Absolutely. Thorough, objective documentation is a core part of what we do for accident patients. We provide progress notes, narrative reports, and — when requested — expert summaries that explain your injuries and the treatment provided in clear, legally useful language.
What if my accident was minor — a low-speed bump?+
Low-speed impacts are deceptive. Studies show that significant neck and back injuries can occur at surprisingly low speeds because the bumper absorbs little energy and the force transfers directly to the occupant. A short, quick exam is always worth having if you were in any collision.
How many visits will I need to recover from whiplash?+
It depends on the severity of the injury and how quickly you start care. After your exam, Dr. Mousavi gives you a specific, time-bound plan with a real endpoint. Early, consistent care generally means a faster, more complete recovery than waiting or treating symptoms one at a time.
