If you think you’ve been injured in a car, truck or motorcycle accident you should make an appointment for a thorough examination as soon as you can.

Often, people involved in a car crash or motorcycle wreck have minimal or no symptoms until several weeks after the motor vehicle accident.

The Doctors and chiropractors at Grappin Clinic can assist you with all aspects of auto accident personal injury recovery. If you’ve been hurt in an accident in North Port, Port Charlotte, Venice, Englewood, Sarasota or Bradenton, Florida, we can help.


It’s important to not only receive immediate treatment for any injuries sustained, but also to document the extent of personal injuries, before too much time has passed.

If you have symptoms of neck pain, low back pain, headaches, muscle soreness and dizziness, or if you have broken bones or possible whiplash injury, call our office at (941) 426-9551, as soon as possible. We will ensure expedited evaluation of your situation, including in-house x-rays, a treatment plan and prognosis for recovery.

We have been successfully treating patients for whiplash and other accident related injuries in Sarasota and Charlotte Counties since 1977.


Failure to obtain a timely evaluation or appropriate treatment for injuries sustained in a car accident may negate your ability to receive monetary compensation for any future medical bills, pain and suffering settlements, and compensation for work loss.

NOTE: The State of Florida requires that you be examined by a physician within 14 days of the motor vehicle accident to qualify for PIP (personal injury protection) of your automobile policy. Failure to do so will result in loss of your PIP coverage to pay for your medical claims.

When you first visit the Grappin Chiropractic Clinic, we will determine :

  • The extent of your injuries
  • The number of estimated treatments required to treat your injuries
  • If needed, what your physical therapy plan would consist of
  • If a referral to another medical specialist is required
  • If special tests are required (i.e. MRI, CT Scan, etc.)
  • If you need to take “injury time off” from work (we provide you with documentation for your employer)
  • We will also help you with the processing of your automobile insurance medical claim.

Since the most common injuries associated with motor vehicle accidents are sprains and strains of the spinal muscles and ligaments, disc and nerve damage, it’s only natural that chiropractic care is the treatment of choice.

If you or someone you know has been involved in an auto accident, call our office to schedule an evaluation immediately. The quicker you receive the care you need, the quicker your injuries will heal and the better you’ll feel.
