Car Accident Chiropractor in Garland, TX
Many car accident injuries aren't obvious right away. Whiplash, herniated discs, nerve compression, and spinal misalignment can take hours or even days to show up. Dr. Pham performs a thorough evaluation to find hidden injuries early and builds a treatment plan to relieve pain, restore mobility, and get you back to normal activities.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Garland
- Get emergency care first for severe pain, head injury, numbness, or weakness.
- Report the crash and get a copy of the police report.
- Get evaluated within the first few days — gaps in care make injuries harder to document.
- Tell us if you have an attorney, PIP coverage, or a Letter of Protection.
- Follow your treatment plan so your recovery and records stay complete.

Whiplash Chiropractor: Symptoms That Shouldn't Wait
Whiplash happens when the head snaps forward and back, straining the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck. Call us if you notice any of these after a collision:
- Neck pain or stiffness that gets worse over the next day or two
- Headaches that start at the base of the skull
- Shoulder, upper-back, or lower-back pain
- Tingling or numbness in the arms or hands
- Dizziness, fatigue, or trouble concentrating
Don't wait it out. Early whiplash treatment — gentle adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and guided exercise — helps prevent short-term pain from becoming a long-term problem.
What Is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is a precise, controlled force applied to a joint that is locked up or not moving properly. It restores normal motion, reduces pain and muscle tension, and takes pressure off irritated nerves. Most patients feel relief right away; the "pop" you may hear is just gas releasing from the joint.
Adjustment Techniques We Use
- Diversified — hands-on adjustments to restore spinal and joint alignment
- Thompson drop-table — a gentle, low-force adjustment using a segmented table
- Flexion-distraction — rhythmic decompression for disc bulges and sciatica
- Myofascial release — soft-tissue work for tight, injured muscles
Therapies That Support Your Adjustment
- Therapeutic ultrasound
- Electrical muscle stimulation (interferential current)
- Intersegmental traction table and manual traction
- Hot and cold therapy
- Rehabilitation and strengthening exercises
- Nutritional guidance

Chiropractor FAQs for Garland Patients
Where is the best chiropractor near me in Garland, TX?
Smiley Chiropractic is located at 4431 W Walnut St, Suite C, Garland, TX 75042 and is rated 4.7 out of 5 from 41 Google reviews. Dr. Thanh Pham, DC specializes in car accident, whiplash, and personal injury care. Call (972) 494-5155 for a same-day appointment.
How soon should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?
As soon as possible — ideally within the first few days. Whiplash and soft-tissue injuries often appear hours or days after a crash, and gaps in care make injuries harder to document for an insurance or injury claim. Go to the ER first for severe pain, head injury, numbness, or weakness.
Does car insurance pay for a chiropractor after an accident in Texas?
Often, yes. Texas auto policies include Personal Injury Protection (PIP) of at least $2,500 unless you rejected it in writing, and PIP pays regardless of who caused the accident. Care may also be covered by the at-fault driver's insurance or through a Letter of Protection with your attorney. Call us and we'll help you understand your options.
What is a Letter of Protection (LOP)?
A Letter of Protection is an agreement from your personal injury attorney that your treatment bill will be paid from your case settlement. Smiley Chiropractic accepts LOPs, so you can start treatment now without paying up front.
Can a chiropractor help with whiplash?
Yes. Chiropractic care for whiplash combines gentle adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, traction, and guided exercise to reduce pain and inflammation and restore normal neck movement. Dr. Pham starts with a full exam to rule out injuries that need other care.
Is a chiropractic adjustment safe?
Chiropractic adjustments are widely considered safe when performed by a trained, licensed chiropractor. Dr. Pham screens every patient before treatment and uses gentle, low-force techniques such as Thompson drop-table and flexion-distraction when appropriate.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No. You can schedule directly with Smiley Chiropractic without a referral, whether you're in pain, recovering from an accident, or looking for ongoing wellness care.
What happens at my first chiropractic visit?
Your first visit includes a conversation about your symptoms and health history, a physical examination, and X-rays if needed. Dr. Pham then explains what he found and recommends a personalized treatment plan.
Do you treat work injuries?
Yes. We treat strains, sprains, back and neck pain, and repetitive-stress injuries from work. Call (972) 494-5155 so we can review your claim details before your visit.
¿Hay un quiropráctico que hable español en Garland?
Sí. En Smiley Chiropractic hablamos español y también vietnamita. Llame al (972) 494-5155 para una cita el mismo día.
