What Is a Personal Injury Chiropractor?
A personal injury chiropractor treats injuries caused by someone else — like a car crash or a slip and fall — and documents them in the detail an insurance claim or lawsuit requires. Treatment relieves pain and restores movement; the records show what happened, what was injured, what care was needed, and how you recovered.
After an accident, the ER may be your first stop. But follow-up care in the days and weeks after an injury matters just as much. Dr. Pham examines you thoroughly, builds a plan for your specific injuries, and keeps you and your attorney informed along the way. You're never just another number here.
- Letters of Protection (LOPs) accepted
- Records sent to your attorney with your authorization
- Same-day appointments after an injury
- Care with or without an attorney — PIP and MedPay welcome

A Letter of Protection (LOP) lets you get the care you need now, instead of waiting months for an insurance settlement.
You hire a personal injury attorney
Your attorney represents you in the claim against the at-fault party.
Your attorney sends us a Letter of Protection
The LOP is a written promise that your treatment bill will be paid from your settlement or judgment.
You start treatment right away
No up-front payment for covered care. We document every visit.
Your bill is paid when the case resolves
We send records and an itemized bill to your attorney, who pays us from the settlement.
No attorney? You can still start care today using your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or MedPay coverage. Learn more on our car accident payment options guide.

What is a personal injury chiropractor?
A personal injury chiropractor treats injuries caused by accidents such as car crashes, slips and falls, and work incidents, and keeps the detailed medical records an insurance claim or lawsuit requires. At Smiley Chiropractic in Garland, TX, Dr. Thanh Pham, DC also coordinates care with your attorney.
Do you accept Letters of Protection (LOPs)?
Yes. Smiley Chiropractic accepts Letters of Protection from personal injury attorneys, so you can start treatment without paying up front. Your bill is paid from your settlement when your case resolves.
What is a Letter of Protection?
A Letter of Protection is a written agreement from your personal injury attorney promising that your medical provider will be paid from your settlement or judgment. It lets you get care now when the at-fault party's insurance hasn't paid yet.
Do I need an attorney to be treated?
No. You can be treated with or without an attorney. Many patients use their own PIP or MedPay coverage. If you have an attorney, we coordinate with them and accept LOPs.
Can you recommend a personal injury lawyer?
We don't steer patients to particular attorneys. If you want help finding one, the State Bar of Texas lists certified lawyer referral services. Choosing an attorney is entirely your decision, and you can start treatment either way.
Will you send my records to my attorney?
Yes. With your written authorization, we send your exam findings, treatment notes, progress reports, final narrative report, and itemized bill to your attorney or insurer.
Do you treat slip and fall injuries?
Yes. We treat back, neck, hip, and tailbone injuries from slips and falls, along with car accident, work, and other injuries caused by someone else.
How soon should I see a chiropractor after an injury?
As soon as possible, ideally within the first few days after emergency care has ruled out serious injuries. Gaps between the incident and treatment can slow recovery and make injuries harder to document.
What happens if my case settles before I finish treatment?
Talk to your attorney before settling. Once a case settles, future care usually isn't covered by the at-fault party, so it's best to settle after your injuries have been treated and your recovery is documented.
