Auto injury & whiplash / Otsego, MN
Even a minor fender bender can leave your neck, back, or shoulders sore for weeks. At ChiroFix in Otsego, MN, we treat auto injuries and whiplash, and we do accept auto accident claims, even though we don’t bill regular health insurance.
The basics
Whiplash happens when your head is thrown forward and back, or side to side, faster than your muscles can brace for it. The soft tissue in your neck and upper back gets strained, sometimes along with the joints and ligaments underneath.
Symptoms don’t always show up right away. It’s common to feel okay at the scene and then wake up stiff and sore a day or two later, which is why it helps to get checked even when the accident seemed small.

How we treat it
We treat auto injuries the same careful way we treat everything: layer by layer. Like peeling back an onion, we work through the tissue one layer at a time, which helps us get hold of the problem sooner.
Hands-on work through the layers of muscle and fascia in your neck, shoulders, and back, starting gently and going deeper as your body allows.
Careful adjustments to help stiff joints move again, always matched to how your body is feeling that day.
Laser therapy, cupping, and other tools to support healing tissue when they fit your case.
About laser, cupping & more20 / 30 / 60-minute visits
We don’t just adjust and send you on your way. After an accident, the neck, shoulders, mid-back, and low back often all need attention, and we take the time and care to work through each one. Our goal is restoring your body and getting your life back on track.
We book 20 minutes for one or two areas, 30 minutes for three or four, and 60 minutes for the whole body. After an accident, a lot of people start with 30 or 60 minutes, and we adjust as you heal.
We treat people hurt in car accidents from Otsego, Elk River, Albertville, St. Michael, Zimmerman, Ramsey, and Rogers, with weekend appointments when you’re juggling work and recovery.
Questions
We don’t bill regular health insurance, but we do accept auto accident claims and workers’ compensation. Call us before your first visit with your claim number and insurance information so we can get everything set up.
It depends on your injuries and how your body responds. We’ll build a plan after your first visit, keep track of your progress, and adjust as you heal.
As soon as anything serious has been ruled out. Many injuries don’t show up right away, so it’s worth getting checked even if you felt fine at the scene.
Go to the ER or call 911 for loss of consciousness, a severe headache, confusion, numbness or weakness, trouble breathing, chest or abdominal pain, or any suspected broken bone. Come see us once you’ve been cleared.
