What it is

Injuries caught early heal better.

Injuries from car accidents, falls, and workplace incidents don't always show symptoms right away. Adrenaline can mask pain for 24 to 72 hours, and what feels like mild stiffness at the scene can become a chronic problem if it's never evaluated.

Dr. Birch evaluates your injury thoroughly, documents what he finds, and builds a recovery plan around your specific situation — coordinating with attorneys and other providers when appropriate.

What recovery looks like

“As a semi-active person who has been in car accidents and has scoliosis, my back needs adjusting to manage pain. Dr. Birch is able to get me up and moving again in five minutes when other doctors require multiple long, painful sessions.”

Call (816) 491-8000 →

How soon after an accident should I be seen?

As soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours. Early evaluation catches hidden injuries before they become chronic and supports stronger medical documentation.

What if I feel fine after my accident?

It's still worth getting evaluated. Whiplash and soft tissue damage often don't produce symptoms for hours or even days.

Do you work with personal injury attorneys?

Yes. We coordinate with attorneys and other providers when appropriate and maintain detailed documentation to support your claim.

How long does recovery take?

It depends on severity. Some patients recover in a few weeks; more significant injuries may take several months. You’ll get a realistic timeline after your exam.

Do you accept insurance?

We do not accept insurance, but offer a variety of flexible payment options to make care accessible. Contact our office before your visit to discuss options.
