Personal Injury Chiropractic
Not Your Fault?
When you're injured due to someone else's negligence, you shouldn't have to pay for treatment out of pocket. Personal injury chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing, documenting, and treating injuries sustained in accidents — so you can focus on healing while we build the medical evidence your case needs.
Many accident injuries — whiplash, soft tissue damage, herniated discs, and nerve compression — don't show up on standard emergency room tests. Without proper chiropractic evaluation, these injuries can go undiagnosed and worsen over time, leading to chronic pain and a weaker insurance claim.
At Sycamore Chiropractic, Dr. Petersen has over 30 years of experience treating personal injury patients. We provide thorough examinations, evidence-based treatment, and detailed medical reports that stand up in court and with insurance adjusters.

What To Do
5 Steps After an Accident
Knowing what to do immediately after an injury can make or break your recovery and your case. Follow these steps to protect your health and your rights.
Seek Medical Attention
Visit a chiropractor or ER as soon as possible after the accident. Even if you feel fine, injuries like whiplash can take hours or days to manifest. Early documentation is critical.
Document Everything
Take photos of the scene, get a police report, and keep all records. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case will be.
Contact a Chiropractor
Schedule a comprehensive exam to identify hidden injuries. Chiropractic evaluations detect soft tissue injuries that X-rays and MRIs often miss.
Follow Your Treatment Plan
Consistent treatment shows the insurance company you are serious about recovery. Gaps in care can hurt your claim and delay healing.
Keep Records of All Visits
Maintain a file of every appointment, diagnosis, and treatment. These records become essential evidence for your personal injury case.
Our Approach
How We Handle PI Cases
Personal injury cases require more than just treatment — they require meticulous medical documentation. At Sycamore Chiropractic, every visit is thoroughly recorded with objective findings, diagnoses, and measurable progress indicators.
Dr. Petersen creates detailed narrative reports that explain your injuries in terms attorneys, judges, and insurance adjusters understand. These reports connect your accident directly to your injuries and demonstrate the medical necessity of your treatment plan.
Insurance & Liens
No Upfront Costs
We understand that after an accident, finances are the last thing you want to worry about. That's why we offer multiple payment options for personal injury patients so you can start treatment immediately.
Payment Options
- Medical liens — no payment until your case settles
- Med-Pay (PIP) coverage through your auto insurance
- Third-party insurance claims
- Attorney-funded treatment
- We coordinate billing with your legal team
Don't wait to get treated. Delaying care after an accident can hurt both your health and your legal case. Insurance companies look for gaps in treatment to deny claims.
