Low back pain isn’t just soreness, it’s often a signal that something in your body isn’t functioning properly.
Whether it’s caused by poor posture, muscle imbalances, spinal misalignment, or injury, your body begins to compensate to keep you moving. Over time, these compensations create stress, stiffness, and recurring pain.
That’s why quick fixes like rest, stretching, or medication may help temporarily, but don’t address the underlying issue.
At Intero, we focus on correcting the cause so your body can move the way it’s meant to.

A car accident can change your day, your week, or your entire year. Even a low-speed collision can cause real damage to your spine, neck, and soft tissue. The problem is that many of these injuries don't show symptoms right away.
You might walk away from a fender bender feeling fine. But two or three days later, the stiffness sets in. Your neck tightens up. Your back aches when you sit too long. Headaches show up out of nowhere.
This is common. And waiting too long to get checked can make recovery harder and hurt your ability to file a personal injury claim.
At Intero Chiropractic, we specialize in treating auto accident injuries using precise diagnostic tools and targeted chiropractic adjustments. We accept personal injury cases on a lien basis, which means you pay nothing out of pocket. Your care is covered through your legal settlement.

Emergency rooms are designed to rule out life-threatening injuries first, which is exactly what they should do. But once broken bones and internal bleeding are cleared, soft tissue and joint injuries often go undiagnosed because they don't show up on standard ER imaging. That's where chiropractic care comes in.
Whiplash, spinal misalignment, soft tissue damage, and nerve compression are all common after car accidents. These are structural problems. Pain medication masks them. Chiropractic care corrects them.
At Intero, we use the Intero Method to find exactly where the damage is and build a treatment plan around it. That includes full spine digital X-rays, spinal thermography, and a 30+ point physical exam before your first adjustment.


Acting quickly matters. Here's what we recommend:


Our team uses spinal thermography and imaging to identify the exact areas of inflammation and misalignment caused by whiplash, then applies targeted corrections to restore proper movement and reduce pain.

The force of a collision can shift vertebrae out of their normal position. When this happens, it puts pressure on the nerves that run through your spine. This can cause pain in your back, hips, legs, and even your feet. Without correction, the misalignment gets worse over time as your body compensates.

Muscles, tendons, and ligaments absorb a significant amount of force during a crash. These tissues can become strained, torn, or inflamed. Soft tissue injuries often cause pain and limited range of motion that gets progressively worse if left untreated.

A sudden impact can compress or herniate spinal discs, leading to sharp or radiating pain, numbness, or tingling. Disc injuries may not show up on a standard ER exam but become clear through detailed chiropractic diagnostics, including the imaging and nerve assessments we perform at every Intero clinic.

Whiplash happens when your head snaps forward and backward during impact. It strains the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your neck. Symptoms include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and sometimes blurred vision. Whiplash is one of the most frequently missed injuries after a collision because symptoms can take days or even weeks to appear.

Before treatment begins, we verify your attorney and insurance information. If you don't have a personal injury attorney yet, we can point you in the right direction. This step protects you and makes sure your treatment costs are covered through the legal process.
Your first visit includes everything we do for every new patient: a full health history consultation, 30+ point exam, spinal nerve assessment, and full spine digital X-rays. For personal injury patients, these diagnostics serve a dual purpose. They guide your treatment plan and create the medical documentation your attorney needs to support your claim.
We treat personal injury patients on a lien basis. That means we accept payment from your legal settlement rather than billing you directly. You pay nothing upfront. Your focus stays on healing, not on bills.
Your care plan is built around correcting the structural damage from your accident using the same precision-driven approach we use with every Intero patient: Gonstead-based adjustments, progress tracking through re-evaluations, and measurable results confirmed by follow-up imaging.

Every visit is documented with clinical notes, imaging, and progress reports. This creates the records your attorney needs to build a strong case. Many personal injury claims fall short because the medical documentation is thin or inconsistent. That won't happen here.

We never adjust before we assess. Full spine X-rays, thermography, and nerve evaluations happen before your first treatment. This protects your health and gives your legal team clear evidence of your injuries.

The Intero Method has helped over 5,000 patients across five Bay Area locations. 90% of our patients experience relief because we treat the root cause, not just manage symptoms.

Lien-based treatment means zero upfront payment. We get paid when your case settles.

We work directly with your attorney's office. Medical updates, records requests, and treatment summaries are handled on our end so nothing falls through the cracks.
We treat personal injury patients at all of our clinics:
"There was a point where I realized I hadn’t thought about my back all day. That haven’t happened in a long time."
Low Back Pain Care
"I didn’t expect it to feel this different. Things that used to feel heavy or tight just… don’t anymore."
Postural Imbalance
"It wasn’t dramatic overnight. It just kept getting better and then one day I noticed how much had changed."
Spinal Alignment Care
"There was a point where I realized I hadn’t thought about my back all day. That haven’t happened in a long time."
"I didn't expect it to feel this different. Things that used to feel heavy or tight just... don't anymore"
"It wasn't dramatic overnight. It just kept getting better and then one day I noticed how much had changed"
Do I need a lawyer before I can get treated?
Not necessarily, but having a personal injury attorney in place before starting treatment helps protect your rights and keeps the billing process clean. If you need a referral, we can help connect you with attorneys who handle car accident cases.
What is lien-based treatment?
A lien is a simple agreement between our clinic and your attorney. It states that our treatment fees will be paid from your settlement once the case resolves. You are not billed directly. There are no upfront costs, copays, or deductibles involved.
How soon after an accident should I come in?
As soon as possible. Many car accident injuries get worse when left untreated, and gaps in your medical timeline can weaken a claim. The sooner you start, the better your recovery and legal outcome.
What if I feel fine after the accident?
Many people feel fine immediately after a crash. Adrenaline masks pain, and some injuries, especially whiplash and soft tissue damage, take days or weeks to present symptoms. A diagnostic exam can identify damage before the pain sets in.
Will you work with my attorney?
Yes. We handle direct communication with your legal team, including sending medical records, treatment summaries, and progress reports. Our documentation is built to support personal injury claims.
Do you take health insurance for car accident cases?
For personal injury cases, we typically work on a lien basis through your attorney rather than billing your health insurance. This keeps the process straightforward and removes out-of-pocket costs during your recovery.
If you've been in a car accident, the right care at the right time makes all the difference. Call us at (925) 255-5805 or book your appointment online. We'll take care of the rest.
