About Chiropractic Care
Fix the cause, not just the symptoms
A collision can knock your spine out of alignment and irritate the nerves and soft tissue around it. Chiropractic care realigns the spine and restores proper function so your body can heal — no drugs, no surgery.
The sooner you're evaluated after a crash, the better your outcome — and the stronger your injury documentation.
- Thorough injury evaluation
- Drug-free, non-surgical care
- A clear, staged recovery plan
- PIP & insurance documented

Auto-injury FAQ
Have a question about care after a crash? Get in touch — we're happy to help.
Do I need to be in pain to get checked after a crash?+
No. Whiplash and disc injuries often surface days later. Getting evaluated early protects both your recovery and your injury documentation.
Do you accept PIP and insurance?+
Yes. We accept most PIP and insurance plans and handle the paperwork for you. Send us your details and we'll verify your benefits before your visit.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?+
No. Florida is a direct-access state, so you can book with us directly — no physician referral is required.
How soon after an accident should I come in?+
As soon as you can. Florida's PIP coverage generally requires care within 14 days of the accident, and earlier treatment leads to better outcomes.
Is chiropractic care safe after an auto accident?+
Yes. After a thorough exam, Dr. Michael Hornberger uses gentle, drug-free, non-surgical techniques tailored to your injuries and comfort.
What conditions do you treat?+
Whiplash, neck and back pain, headaches, herniated discs, sciatica, and other crash-related injuries. See the conditions we treat above.
