Auto Accidents

Healing after an Accident

If you’ve been involved in an Auto Accident, you may be experiencing symptoms that include neck pain, back pain, and headaches. These are very common and can present after even the most mild of impacts. Chiropractic is a great option when pursuing care to restore your function and overcome pain.

Accidents happen, but don’t carry the pain with you for years to come. See a Cross-Up Chiropractor for effective treatment to restore function and alleviate pain. Our hands on approach will allow you to give direct and instant feedback during treatment, so that we can gauge progress and fight the problem at it’s source.

Why physical care is important

The symptoms of pain and stiffness may not be felt for weeks and even months after the injury. Our hands-on approach will allow you to give direct and instant feedback during treatment, so that we can gauge progress and fight the problem at its source. At Cross-Up Chiropractic, we believe in taking a cooperative approach with your general physicians to appropriately diagnose and effectively treat your pain for optimal recovery, which may include acupuncture.

Insurance Claims

Once you receive all pertinent information from the insurance company, we can communicate with the claims adjuster to send clinical notes and billings for appropriate reimbursement.

Dr. Jack P Rieke

Chiropractor for a car accident injury Dr. Jack P Rieke

Chiropractor, Active Release + Rehab Specialist

Dr. Rieke is always looking to build on the tools and resources he can use to provide the best care for every patient. He was inspired by Chiropractic at a young age when his mother suffered from severe and chronic pain. After seeing about 13 specialists and undergoing countless failed procedures, his mother finally experienced effective and lasting relief by visiting a Chiropractor. After becoming a patient himself, he recognized the immense impact this practice makes on the lives of many and knew right away that he wanted to pursue this career of service to others.

Car accident chiropractor Dr. Peyton Habenicht

Chiropractor, Acupuncturist, NET, FMT, Webster Certified

At just 14 years old, Dr. Habenicht developed a passion for Chiropractic Medicine and decided this field was her future. As a committed soccer player, Dr. Habenicht was always searching for real health solutions instead of medication for her injuries.

Ok. So the doctor knows his stuff, and willing to share it on a level that means something. Took care of the worst pain and numbness to my right leg I have ever had. The exercise routine he has given me, will change my muscle issues for the better and I believe, how I will age.

Hands down the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to!!! Dr Jack is very knowledgeable and always thinks outside the box. His adjustments are so much more than the average chiropractor. He knows what areas to target to help get maximum relief! I have improved so much in a few sessions and am doing so much better each day!

I just started seeing Dr Peyton Habenicht. Initially went in just for regular chiro/adjustments but she's providing so much more.She working on my knee issues, and tight quad/hamstrings. Plus she has given me strengthening exercises to do at home between visits. Plus the adjustments. She does manual adjustments which I prefer.Office/staff is really nice. Dr is really knowledgeable, friendly, and so good! Looking forward to having acupuncture at some point too.Highly recommend.

Dr Rieke is so good at what he does. The ART (what I go for) is the best therapy I have had. His verbal explanation while using his technique makes me understand what is going on and how I can help myself on a regular basis.

I have very bad back pain and saw Dr Jack for the first time and he was able to start working right away and I go some immediate relief. I understand it is still a work in progress but it was so nice to find someone that could actually help me. I tried physical therapy, injections, nothing was working. Thanks so much.

Dr. Jack is fantastic. I’ve gone in sporadically for lower back pain and with his treatment and stretches, I’m always so much better when I leave. He takes his time, really listens, and is so knowledgeable. It’s great that he gives me stretches to do at home to keep my back from acting up.

Dr. Jack’s expertise has been very helpful fixing and promoting healing for my sciatica problem. I started seeing him in early September following an injury in August that was significantly painful and had caused restricted mobility for weeks. My former longtime PT left the state a few years ago and I went to Dr. Jack with a high recommendation from my husband.Dr. Jack is kind, upbeat, very knowledgeable, and he has been extremely integral in helping me get through this physical issue.The office is modern, clean, and well-equipped. Staff is very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend Cross-Up Chiropractic!

Dr. Jack & Dr. Peyton are the best in town. Dr. Jack takes him time, listens and helps get to the root of the issues. I came into the office for the first time thinking I would just get a quick adjustment, but it also included stretching, exercises & treatment! These doctors genuinely care about getting you better. I highly recommend this practice. A+++

I absolutely LOVE this center and Dr. Jack and Dr. Payton. Our whole family goes here. Let me just say that, while I have worked with wonderful chiropractors in the past, there isn't anyone that is as comprehensive as Dr. Jack and Dr. Payton are. One recent example, I came in for an adjustment and complained of feeling sleepy and not having the clearest head. Dr. Jack analyzed and had me do a few head movements to reset (something dealing with inner ear) and my head cleared up within 2 minutes. Other recent examples - I had headaches and Dr. Jack did a TMJ adjustment that made them go away. My son had a forearm injury, Dr. Jack stepped up with Occupational Therapy. My wife is raving about Dr. Payton for help with her issues. My shoulder was hurt and Dr. Jack fixed it, etc. etc. etc. They truly are the best place to go if you're in need of a chiropractor, acupuncture, physical therapy, or nutrition. Every time I get more and more impressed. If you're in Libertyville, Vernon Hills (like I am), Mundelein, or any of the surrounding area - you really should check them out! Thank you Dr. Jack and Dr. Payton!!!

Dr. Rieke displayed a great depth of knowledge regarding my back issue. He gave me some exercises that appear to be working. Treatment is ongoing, but I'm optimistic He appears to be both competent and confidant.

After calling Dr. Rieke, while in immense pain with my IT Band injury, he gave me immediate instructions about how to stabilize my injury at home until my appointment the very next morning. Once in his office, Dr. Rieke alleviated the majority of my pain during the very first visit (I crawled in, and was actually able to walk out.) He spent about an hour with me and throughout the entire visit explained the dynamics behind his methodology. It really helped to be educated about my condition which allowed me to better understand the road to recovery. Can't thank Dr. Jack enough for his knowledge and expertise – along with his compassionate bedside manner. He's a real pro!

The doctors here research nutrition, active release technique and LISTEN to the patient in our family. The doctors take time to communicate with the patient to understand the patient's health situation. The doctors ask the patient for feedback and use their knowledge to adapt treatment accordingly. I highly recommend!

Dr Rieke was fabulous. He took the time to thoroughly review and discuss my history, asked lots of questions and really listened. His assessment included asking fur my feedback on pain, discomfort and the like. This helped him determine what was happening and what treatment was called for. I look forward to continuing our work together.

I wish I could rate more than 5 stars! I do not submit reviews often but Cross-Up Chiropractic is hands down the best Chiropractic office I have ever been to. They are the most caring doctors who listen to their patients and create plans that will fix the issue(s) long term and not put a bandaid on them. Dr. Peyton has helped me overcome injuries that I thought I would have to live in pain for the rest of my life. I always leave my appointments feeling like a new person! At every appointment I have she continues to educate me on why my pains are occurring and how we will be fixing them for a long term. She has introduced me to acupuncture, cupping and nutrition! My healthy and body are in a completely different place from where I was 4 months ago and I owe it all to Dr. Peyton! I cannot say enough amazing things about her!

I was referred to Dr. Reike by a friend and I’m so happy I was. I’m a chronic pain patient with extenuating circumstances. In only two visits I have more mobility than I’ve had in 13 years!At your first opportunity, give them a call and make an appointment, you’ll be glad you did!

I am so satisfied with my visits..My neck pain was severe stabbing and after one session that ceased. My hands are working so much better...the swelling on the side of my left wrist is almost gone. The pain in my hands has left and I can even open a jar at dinner time with no problem That wasn't the case before. I can turn left and right in the car without bad pain. I am completely happy with my results I look foward to more help in maintaining this stabilized move forward. Thanks to Dr. Rieke my long months of pain will be in the past.

Dr. Peyton Habenicht worked with me for over two hours for my first session and adjustment. She was thorough & informed me of more details regarding my injury. I really enjoyed that she taught me PT exercises that I can do from home to help speed my recovery. From the first phone conversation I could tell that she is informed & she listened to all of my concerns. If you are hesitant to see a chiropractor, don’t worry, with Dr. Peyton you are in good hands. I can see her passion and commitment to her profession. Also she charges fairly & this is refreshing. I highly recommend her!!!

Our Techniques

We use several techniques at Cross-up Chiro, depending on our patient’s needs. One or more techniques may be used to provide the best results for you.

Active Release TECHNIQUE (ART)

We are full body certified to treat the spine, upper & lower extremity with this technique. It is the most targeted soft tissue technique available and it restores function, mechanics, and nutrition to muscles and ligaments, while freeing up tension around nerves. 

Sports & Fire Cupping 

This tool comes from ancient chinese and mayan practice. The vacuum created in the cup creates suction against the skin to open the underlying tissues and facilitate circulation. 

Fascial Flossing

This is the use of a thick resistance band around joints and soft tissues of the upper and lower body. The band grabs hold of the skin and underlying connective tissue, and then movement is used to floss and release the muscles, nerves, and vessels below. 

BOdy Tempering

This is the use of a weighted roller on larger muscles – mainly of the lower body. This is excellent for working tension out of the hamstrings, quadriceps, and gluteals, while improving the reliance of those muscles. Temper means to prepare the muscle for heavier loads. 

Muscle Gliding

A gua sha tool with a beveled edge is used to glide along the muscles to promote fluid exchange and break up contracted tissues. This is great for accessing deeper tension in areas with more layers of muscle.

Spinal Stability training

In cases where spinal pain in unaffected by soft tissue release, there is a clear case for spinal instability that leads to shearing of the vertebra. This causes reflexive spasms in the surrounding musculature. Stability training off loads stress from the spine onto the girdle of support musculature. 

Strength & Conditioning

These two components must always cooperate in a healthy system. One can only thrive with the other simultaneously. We use protocols proven to improve muscle physiology and to help you achieve long term treatment relief without relapse.   

Proprioceptive (Balance & Coordination) Training

Proprioception is a sensory feedback system in the body that is continuously sending signals to the muscles about where they are in space. This type of training is essential in injury prevention because it teaches the muscles to respond to unexpected forces. This system is the foundation of all training.

Principles of the following:

Donnie Thompson (World Record Powerlifter), Kelly Starrett (PT, Crossfit Trainer, Mobility Coach), National Academy of Sport Medicine, Ben Patrick (Knees Over Toes Guy/Athletic Training Group Founder), Dr. Stuart McGill PhD (Backfit Pro Inc), Mark Bell (Super Training Gym/Powerproject Host), Stan Efferding (Vertical Diet & Training), Thomas Myers (Fascial Trains)

“Our focus is on finding and fixing the underlying problem – not just masking it.”

Car Accident Chiropractor – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What to do after a car accident injury?

Contact the police to file a report. Contact your auto insurance carrier and obtain that from the other driver as well. Seek emergency medical attention if warranted. Once clear of imminent danger, contact our office and we can direct you appropriately. We are located in Libertyville, Illinois.

How much does a Car Accident Chiropractor session cost?

The cost of Car Accident Doctor depends on the extent of care and time of services.  Most of the services we offer are covered by your insurance. Check with us for details about your plan.  Prices for some services are shown in the table below.

Chiropractic Price,$

What doctor to see after a car accident?

In serious trauma, it is always recommended to seek emergency medical attention first. When dangerous injury has been ruled out and appropriate imaging obtained, patients often prefer to utilize Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and Physical Therapy for recovery. Fortunately, we offer all of those services in one location. 

Does insurance cover car accidents?

In the event of an auto accident, you will have to file for a claim with your auto insurance carrier. This will provide you with a claim number and claims insurance adjuster contact with whom we can communicate and send appropriate claim forms and visit notes. 

What to say to doctor after car accident?

When you visit the doctor, you need to tell about:

  • The details of the accident: who, what, when, where, and how
  • The details of your injury: even factors you may not consider new
  • The impact of this injury on your daily activity

With a full understanding of the whole picture, the doctor will be able to properly determine the severity of the injury and examine other areas that may have been affected in the accident as well.

How long will my back hurt after car accident?

Time of recovery will depend on the severity of injury. Often times, patients are struggling with more than one area of complaint. Patients commonly inform us that they did not begin feeling pain until several days after the incident. We will take a regimented approach and often seen the best result when front loading treatment and then reducing as necessary. 

We gladly provide more definitive detail on recovery once you have been properly evaluated.
