Avoid them. Quacks the lot of them. Anyone claiming that all illnesses are caused by spine misalignment and curable via spinal manipulation^(1) should be run out of town like the snake oil salesmen they are. Especially as it is a revealed religion sent to the founder from the other world by a dead physician^(2)
Look for an evidence-based medicine provider instead. There are a number of physical therapist in the area that do good work.

Man, its painfully obvious how pseudoscientific modern chiropractors are, but its a whole new level when you look at the origins

Go to a doctor and get a physical therapy referral. Having a chiropractor fucking around with your spine after a car accident is a recipe for disaster.

Nathan Fitzgerald at Neptune Chiropractric. He saved me from risky back surgery that the neurosurgeon said I had to have. He is extremely knowledgeable and will do what is right for you.

What was your original diagnosis?

My wife loves Loehr. I don't use Chiro much but they helped me once when I had a rib out. As others here are pointing out though, make sure Chiro is actually appropriate for your injuries.

I agree. He rudely insulted me every time I saw him.

If your back is hurting after a car accident, the last thing you need is your spine to be manipulated.
Follow up with PCP and ask for a referral if needed, or request an MRI if the pain persists. If you're experiencing muscle spasms, call a trained massage therapist.
