Auto Accident Injury FAQs

Auto Accident Injury FAQs in Midland and Odessa, TX

After an auto accident, your health should always come first — even if you don’t feel pain right away. Some injuries take hours or days to show symptoms. That’s why early evaluation is so important.

At Permian Basin Accident & Injury Clinics, with locations in Midland and Odessa, TX, our chiropractic and medical team provides thorough assessments to detect hidden injuries and begin treatment immediately so symptoms don’t worsen.

Why Choose Chiropractic & Medical Care After an Accident?

Chiropractic and medical care address the root cause of pain rather than masking symptoms with medication alone.
Our providers help:

  • Reduce inflammation
  • Restore joint and spinal mobility
  • Relieve muscle tension
  • Improve nerve function
  • Support long-term healing

We treat both soft-tissue injuries and spinal misalignments, which commonly occur in collisions.
Care is non-invasive and focused on promoting natural recovery.

What Types of Injuries Can Be Treated?

We treat a wide range of auto-related injuries, including:

Spine & Soft-Tissue Injuries

  • Whiplash
  • Neck and back pain
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Sciatica / radiating pain
  • Muscle spasms
  • Joint misalignment

Extremity Injuries

How Soon Should I Get Treated?

As soon as possible.
Early treatment helps prevent injuries from becoming long-term problems.

Even if you feel fine, hidden injuries — such as whiplash, concussions, or soft-tissue damage — may not cause symptoms for several days.

You do NOT have to wait for the insurance adjuster to call you before starting treatment.

We can:
✅ Start care immediately
✅ File your claim
✅ Communicate directly with the insurance adjuster

Your health should never be put on hold.

Do I Need a Referral, Attorney, or Insurance Approval?

No.
✅ You do NOT need a referral
✅ You do NOT need prior insurance authorization
✅ You do NOT need an attorney to begin treatment

Our team can verify your benefits and help you understand your options.

If you decide you want legal assistance, we can connect you with qualified attorneys — but it is never required to start care.

Do I Have to Wait for the Adjuster to Contact Me Before Being Seen?

No.

This is a common misunderstanding.

We can:

  • Start treatment right away
  • File the claim on your behalf
  • Communicate directly with the claims adjuster

Waiting for the adjuster could delay your recovery and may make your symptoms worse.
Your health should always come first — we handle the insurance process so you don’t have to.
