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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
