Questions patients ask
I feel mostly fine. Should I still be checked?
Yes. Whiplash symptoms often appear 24–72 hours later. An early examination documents your condition and starts care before stiffness sets in.
Will my auto insurance cover treatment?
Many policies and third-party claims cover chiropractic and acupuncture after an accident. Our office documents your care; bring your claim information and we will help you understand the process.
Do you work with attorneys?
We provide the examination findings, treatment records and progress reports your attorney needs. Treatment decisions are always based on your condition, not the claim.
Can I be treated in Korean?
Yes. Dr. Lee sees patients in Korean and English.
