Who We Help

Care for where you are in the recovery.

Whether the accident happened last week or last year — or whether you’re here at the recommendation of an attorney or your insurance — we know how to handle it from here.

Recent Accident
Get evaluated early. Recover faster.
Even a low-impact collision can cause hidden injuries that don’t hurt yet. Early evaluation finds them, starts care before compensation patterns set in, and creates the documentation trail you’ll want later if you need it.
Delayed Symptoms
Pain that didn’t show up right away.
Whiplash, neck pain, headaches, back stiffness — symptoms from a car accident often appear days, weeks, or even months later. We diagnose what’s actually causing the pain and address it before it becomes chronic.
Attorneys & Insurance
A practice your case can rely on.
We work directly with attorneys and insurance providers, with complete and organized documentation throughout your care — detailed exam notes, progress reports, on-site imaging, and superbills. HSA/FSA friendly.

Why Choose Us

An auto injury clinic, not a quick adjustment.

Most people search for a car accident doctor in San Antonio, get cleared at an urgent care for broken bones, and go home with the actual injury undiagnosed. Recovering from a car accident takes more than a quick adjustment and a referral. It starts with a thorough evaluation — a full review of the accident, your symptoms, your medical history, and on-site imaging when needed — so we can identify hidden injuries and build a plan around the real picture, not assumptions.

Care is delivered with Torque Release Technique: gentle, instrument-assisted, and effective for the kind of soft tissue and nerve injuries that car accidents cause. The approach supports faster recovery without forceful manipulation. And throughout your care, we provide complete documentation — exam notes, progress reports, and superbills — and coordinate directly with attorneys and insurance providers when your case calls for it.

Conditions We Treat

Common injuries we see after an accident.

From whiplash that didn’t show up until day three to back pain that won’t resolve months out from the collision — these are the issues we treat most often after a car accident.

Paying For Care

PIP, letters of protection, and the paperwork nobody explains.

The care is the easy part to decide on. How it gets paid for is what stalls most people, so here it is plainly.

Personal Injury Protection
PIP pays regardless of fault.
Texas auto policies include personal injury protection unless you rejected it in writing. It covers care after a crash no matter who caused it, and it doesn’t wait on the claim being settled. We bill it directly, so you’re not paying up front and chasing reimbursement.
Letters of Protection
Care now, paid from the settlement.
If an attorney is handling your case, we can treat on a letter of protection. You get care while the case runs, and the bill is paid out of the settlement at the end. Your attorney gets exam notes, progress reports, imaging and superbills as the file builds.
No PIP, No Attorney
There’s still a path.
We’ll check what your coverage actually includes before your first visit and tell you what it means in plain numbers. We’re HSA and FSA friendly, and superbills come standard if you’re filing on your own.

Attorney Referral
★★★★★

“I was in a car accident 4 months ago and have been dealing with pain. My lawyer sent me here and I’m so glad they did. They’re very thorough with the initial assessment, treatments and evaluations. They take the time to explain what is going on with me and the best approach to get my body and nervous system to a good, healthy state.”

Quick Recovery
★★★★★

“I started going to Dr. Thor after a car accident. He was able to get both my girlfriend and I in the very next day. It’s been almost a year and I can honestly say that I have never felt better. He works with you every way he knows how. As long as I am in the SA area, there will never be another who does it better!”

Car Accident Chiropractic FAQs

Common questions after an accident.

As soon as possible — ideally within a few days, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline and inflammation can mask injuries for hours or days, and whiplash symptoms commonly take three to five days to appear. Early evaluation identifies issues before they become chronic and creates the documentation trail you’ll want if your case calls for it.
Yes — routinely. We provide complete, organized documentation throughout your care: detailed exam notes, progress reports, on-site imaging, and superbills for reimbursement. We collaborate directly with attorneys when your case requires it, and we’re HSA/FSA friendly. If you’re unsure how your coverage works, our team can help you sort through the options.
No. You can schedule directly with our office, whether you’re coming in immediately after the accident, weeks later when symptoms appear, or months out from the collision with lingering pain. If your attorney or another provider has referred you, we’ll coordinate with them as part of your care.
No. Pain that started weeks or months after the accident is common, and it’s often a sign of an injury that didn’t get properly evaluated at the time. The longer compensation patterns go unaddressed, the harder they are to undo — but care is still effective, and many of our patients come in months out from the collision.
No. We use Torque Release Technique, which is instrument-assisted and low-force. There’s no twisting, no cracking, and no aggressive manipulation — which matters when you’re recovering from a recent injury. The approach is effective for the soft tissue and nerve injuries common after car accidents, and most patients describe the adjustments as relieving rather than uncomfortable.
Usually. Texas policies include personal injury protection unless it was rejected in writing, and PIP covers care after a crash regardless of who was at fault. We bill it directly. Call us with your claim number and we’ll verify it before your first visit.
It’s worth it. The ER rules out what’s life-threatening: fractures, bleeding, head injury. That’s a different job from evaluating soft tissue, discs and nerve function, and a clear X-ray doesn’t mean a clear spine. Whiplash and disc injuries commonly show up days later.
