Hurt After a Portsmouth Car Accident? Get Evaluated Today.

After a car accident, you may be sore, stiff, fighting a headache — and not sure what to do next. That second part is what this office is for. Describe what changed, and we’ll evaluate the muscle-and-joint side of it, explain what we find in plain words, and keep a clear record of the visit. If what you describe needs emergency or medical care instead, we’ll tell you right away.

Accident care and everyday chiropractic care in Portsmouth

People come to Portsmouth Accident & Injury Center for two reasons. Something changed after a car crash — or an everyday neck, back, headache, joint, or posture problem finally got in the way of work, sleep, or driving. The visits look different: a crash visit adds the event history, safety checks, and crash-related records, while an everyday visit digs into when the problem started and what makes it better or worse.

Either way, you don’t need a diagnosis before calling. Tell us what you feel and what’s hard to do now. The exam is how we figure out what fits — chiropractic care, a medical check, imaging, or another referral.

Start with the guide that matches your question.

What happens during an accident-focused evaluation

An accident-focused visit builds a clear account of three things: what happened, what changed afterward, and what the exam shows. If anything in that picture needs medical care or another referral, we say so.

  1. The visit reviews how the collision occurred and how you were positioned.
  2. The clinician asks when each symptom began and how it has changed.
  3. You describe activities that are harder now, such as sleeping, driving, lifting, sitting, or turning.
  4. The history includes emergency, hospital, urgent-care, imaging, or other care already received.
  5. The examination helps determine whether the concern fits the office’s scope or needs a referral.

You should receive a clear explanation of the findings

You should be able to describe your symptoms without being dismissed — and without being pushed toward a diagnosis. We listen to the whole story, examine you, and explain what the findings do and don’t show.

Care is suggested only when the findings support it. Sometimes the honest answer is that a medical check, imaging, or another provider fits better. You’ll hear that plainly, too.

Chiropractic information for common musculoskeletal concerns

Neck pain, back pain, headaches, and joint stiffness don’t always start with a car crash. Work, long drives, lifting, sleep position, exercise, and old injuries can all matter. An everyday visit starts with your history, how you move, and the daily tasks that changed — care options come after that, not before.

Explore the everyday-care guides:

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health lists spinal manipulation as one non-drug option for some muscle and joint problems. Its evidence review is careful. Benefits are often modest, results vary, and health history matters for safety. Read the NCCIH spinal manipulation overview(opens in a new tab).

What to bring to the first visit

Bring what you already have — you don’t need a complete file to make the first call. For a crash visit: photo ID, insurance details, the crash report number if you have one, and records from any care tied to the crash. For an everyday visit: a medication list, relevant reports, and a note about what makes the problem better or worse.

One housekeeping note: the website form is only for contact and scheduling basics. Share clinical details in a direct call — not in the form, which shouldn’t carry a diagnosis, medical narrative, Social Security number, or policy ID.
