If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, getting the right treatment early makes a significant difference to your recovery. At Chiro Pro we accept NSW CTP insurance claims and specialise in treating the neck pain, whiplash and headaches that are among the most common injuries sustained in car accidents.

Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance — also known as a green slip — is a mandatory insurance policy that covers all registered vehicles in NSW. If you’re injured in a motor vehicle accident, CTP insurance covers the cost of your medical treatment and rehabilitation, regardless of who was at fault in most circumstances.

CTP claims in NSW are managed by the State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) and administered through the at-fault driver’s insurer.

Motor vehicle accidents — even low-speed ones — can cause significant injury to the spine and nervous system. At Chiro Pro we regularly treat:

• Whiplash and neck pain — the most common car accident injury, caused by the sudden back-and-forth movement of the head on impact
• Headaches and migraines originating from the neck following trauma
• Upper and lower back pain from the forces involved in a collision
• Shoulder pain and stiffness
• Jaw pain and TMJ dysfunction following impact

It’s worth noting that whiplash symptoms don’t always appear immediately — some people feel fine in the hours after an accident but develop significant pain and stiffness in the days that follow. Getting assessed early, even if you feel okay, is always a good idea.

To receive chiropractic treatment under your CTP claim, you will need approval from the relevant insurer before your first appointment. Here’s how the process typically works:

1. Report the accident to the police if required and exchange details with the other driver
2. Seek medical attention and obtain documentation of your injuries
3. Lodge a CTP claim with the at-fault driver’s insurer or contact SIRA if you are unsure who to contact
4. Once chiropractic treatment is approved as part of your claim, contact Chiro Pro to book your first appointment
5. Bring your claim details and approval documentation to your first visit

If your claim hasn’t been approved yet but you need treatment, you are welcome to attend as a private patient and pay out of pocket to get started. Once your claim is approved, speak with your insurer about reimbursement for any out of pocket expenses. Give us a call and we can talk you through your options.

Research consistently shows that early intervention following a whiplash injury leads to significantly better outcomes. Leaving neck pain and stiffness untreated after a car accident can allow the injury to become chronic and much harder to resolve. If you’ve been in an accident — even a minor one — getting assessed sooner rather than later is always the right call.

Chris will conduct a thorough assessment of your injuries and develop a treatment plan focused on restoring normal movement, reducing pain and preventing the injury from becoming chronic. Treatment for car accident injuries typically includes chiropractic adjustments to the cervical and thoracic spine, dry needling for muscle tension and spasm, and a rehabilitation program to restore strength and stability.

Chris will communicate with your insurer or case manager throughout your recovery and work within the requirements of your CTP claim.

If your CTP claim has been approved for chiropractic treatment, book online today or give us a call and we’ll take care of the rest.

No. In most cases CTP insurance covers injured parties regardless of who was at fault in the accident. Contact SIRA or the at-fault driver’s insurer for guidance specific to your situation.

Absolutely. Low-speed collisions can still cause significant soft tissue injuries to the neck and spine. Whiplash symptoms in particular can take days to fully develop. Getting assessed early — even if you feel relatively okay — is always worthwhile.

You are welcome to attend as a private patient and pay out of pocket to get started — many patients choose to do this rather than wait. Once your claim is approved, speak with your insurer about reimbursement for any out of pocket expenses incurred during the approval period. Give us a call and we can talk you through your options.

This depends on the nature and severity of your injuries. Minor whiplash injuries can resolve within a few weeks with the right treatment. More significant injuries may require a longer course of care. Chris will give you a realistic timeframe after your initial assessment.
