What to Expect During Your No-Fault Care
Understanding the recovery process can help you prepare for your visits and maximize the benefits of your treatment.
Your first visit includes a thorough assessment of your injuries, medical history, and personal goals. We will conduct various tests to evaluate your strength, flexibility, and overall function, which will help us create a personalized treatment plan.
After your evaluation, we will develop a tailored treatment plan with specific goals and timelines. We will go over this plan with you, discussing recommended treatments and expected outcomes, and addressing any questions you might have.
Your treatment sessions will typically last 45-60 minutes and may include various therapies, exercises, and hands-on techniques. Our team will guide you throughout each session to ensure you are comfortable and progressing effectively.
You will receive a personalized home exercise program to complement your in-office treatments. These exercises are vital for your recovery and help maintain progress between sessions. Our therapists will demonstrate each exercise and provide written instructions to ensure you understand how to perform them correctly.
We will regularly monitor your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan as necessary. As you improve, your exercises and treatments will be modified to continue challenging you and promoting recovery. We will also keep your referring physician updated on your progress.
Once you reach your treatment goals, we will provide a maintenance plan to help you sustain your progress and prevent future injuries. This may include ongoing exercises, lifestyle modifications, and recommendations to maintain optimal health and function.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions about our no-fault care and what to expect during your treatment.
In New York, you can access treatment without a referral for up to 10 visits or 30 days, whichever comes first. However, your insurance provider may still require a referral for coverage, so it’s best to check with them regarding their specific requirements.
Typically, treatment sessions last between 45-60 minutes, depending on your condition and treatment plan. Your initial evaluation may take a bit longer, around 60-75 minutes, to allow for a comprehensive assessment and treatment planning.
The number of sessions you will need can vary based on your specific injuries and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients may see improvement in just a few sessions, while others with more complex conditions might require additional time. Your therapist will provide an estimated timeline during your evaluation and adjust as necessary based on your progress.
Most health insurance plans cover treatment for no-fault accidents, but coverage can vary by provider and plan. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your benefits before your first appointment. Depending on your plan, you may have copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles. Our billing staff will help explain your coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs.
Some discomfort may occur during or after treatment, especially when addressing injured areas. However, the goal is not to cause significant pain. Our therapists will work within your comfort level and adjust techniques as needed. It’s essential to communicate any discomfort you experience so we can modify your treatment accordingly. Typically, any soreness fades within 24-48 hours.

Consider Prioritizing Chiropractic and Physical Therapy
Following a no-fault car accident, your body is subjected to jarring forces, which can lead to pain with complex origins. The discomfort in your back may arise from the impact, spinal misalignment, or disc injuries. Patients who opt for emergency room or urgent care visits often encounter frustration due to the limited care provided. This is because many injuries from such accidents involve soft tissues and joints, which typically do not necessitate immediate surgery or hospitalization.
As a chiropractic and physical therapy practice, our comprehensive examination assesses your condition comprehensively to discern the underlying issues. While specialists such as orthopedists, neurologists, and pain management experts are valuable, they are typically best consulted after undergoing conservative treatments like chiropractic and physical therapy, along with diagnostic imaging like MRIs. Specialists rely on your response to these treatments and test results to evaluate your injuries. Thus, for most patients, seeking a specialist right away is less satisfactory than seeking care at an emergency room or urgent care facility.
Why Patients Choose Us as Their Auto Accident Healthcare Providers
Many of the patients we attend to have never experienced a no-fault car accident before. They are grappling with pain and concerns about their ability to carry out daily activities, work, attend school, or care for their families. We empathize with your situation and are committed to facilitating a seamless experience so that you can concentrate on receiving treatment and recuperating. Here are the key reasons why patients opt for our services and continue to trust us:
- Patient-Centric Approach: At your initial appointment following the car accident, we promptly assess your condition and commence treatment if we deem it beneficial. You do not have to wait until all insurance particulars are sorted out before receiving care. We understand that a no-fault car accident injury can have cascading effects on your family, work, and overall life, and we strive to help you navigate these challenges so you can carry on with your daily life during the treatment process.
- Continual Treatment: In some cases, you may require more treatment than your insurance provider is willing to cover. While some other providers might discontinue treatment when insurance benefits are exhausted, we persist with your care until you achieve a full recovery. Importantly, we do not request any out-of-pocket payments, as New York State law prohibits this practice.
- Extensive Experience: With over three decades of experience as chiropractors and physical therapists, we have successfully treated a wide array of vehicle accident injuries. While we may have yet to see every possible scenario, our extensive experience equips us to handle diverse cases effectively.
- Proficiency in No-Fault Insurance: Dealing with insurance companies and the required documentation can be complex. We shoulder this burden for you, ensuring that you do not need to navigate the intricacies of the process. Our in-depth knowledge of what insurance companies require provides a smooth and hassle-free experience.
- Collaboration with Attorneys: If you have legal representation, we collaborate closely with your attorney to provide them with the necessary information for your case. Our longstanding relationships with attorneys specializing in auto accident cases reflect our ability to streamline the process and meet their specific requirements.
- Transportation Assistance: We recognize that post-accident, you may not have access to a vehicle. If you qualify, we offer transportation assistance to ensure you can reach our facility. Please get in touch with our office to determine your eligibility.
