Auto & Work Related Injuries
Auto or Work-Related Injuries
If you’ve been involved in an automobile accident or suffered a workplace injury, it's essential to receive a comprehensive chiropractic evaluation—even if you’re not currently in pain. Many injuries from accidents go undetected at first, only to cause discomfort or dysfunction weeks, months, or even years later.
Auto Accidents: Hidden Damage, Lasting Effects
Modern bumper technology may protect vehicles from visible damage, but the human body doesn’t always fare as well. Even low-impact collisions can result in significant spinal injuries. When treated promptly, chiropractic care can reduce inflammation, minimize scar tissue, and restore proper alignment—greatly improving long-term recovery.
Our experienced chiropractors in Rockford, IL specialize in identifying and treating these types of injuries to help prevent chronic pain and future complications.
Work Injuries & Your Rights
Caraotta Chiropractic physicians are fully licensed in the State of Illinois to treat injuries covered under the Workers’ Compensation Act. If you're injured on the job, you have the legal right to select two of your own treating providers—a right many employees and employers are unaware of.
When a work-related injury is reported to our office, we:
- Perform a thorough evaluation
- Create a custom treatment plan
- Send a detailed report directly to your employer

Testimonies from Our Patients

After being in a terrible accident I needed to look for a chiropractor and this place took care of me. I would definitely recommend it. The staffing is excellent—always busy but on a move.

I initially came to Caraotta Chiropractic sometime in the 90’s after a car accident. At that time, Dr. Caraotta still practiced and was extremely helpful in my healing. Fast forward to 2022 and I am still receiving excellent chiropractic care. The staff is warm and professional and the doctors are very skilled in their adjustments. My body responds well to their care, and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. I’m grateful to be able to return and be welcomed like family.

Dr Whitaker has been instrumental in my healing from a car accident as well as a shoulder strain. The muscle work he provides is invaluable, and he explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. My pain has drastically decreased since being treated here. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and the environment is very warm and welcoming.

I was in for monthly check up, and as always Dr. Lance made sure I was aligned correctly. Two weeks ago I had to come in for pain from plowing at work and the adjustment he made helped out a great deal.

Owning a Landscape Tree Service I've hurt my back many times, Dr. Lance is my miracle worker. A pulled muscle 3 to 6 inches long between the shoulders took 5 visits and I was back to normal. I've referred several others to him. He just knows where and how to make you better!

Explosive customer service! There was a work injury to the lower back. My wife made an appointment with Caraotta and they got me in right away. Dr. Mika was amazing. He explained everything to me thoroughly, did the X-rays and I was shocked how quickly I was able to get back on my feet. Thank you to the staff and doctors for the amazing care!
