As a new patient, we want to make your experience seamless, comfortable, and focused on your healing. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about starting your journey with us, from what to expect during your first visit to how we support your recovery from car accident injuries.

 

Why Choose Venice Injury Clinic?

Led by Dr. Joseph M. Neunder, a Venice native with deep ties to Sarasota County, our clinic is built on a foundation of compassionate, patient-centered care. Dr. Joe’s extensive experience in chiropractic medicine, combined with his commitment to the community—through roles like former Venice City Councilman and involvement with the YMCA and Boys and Girls Club—ensures that every patient is treated like family. Whether you’re seeking relief from auto accident injuries like whiplash or back pain, or aiming to improve your overall wellness, we provide tailored, non-invasive treatments to help you heal and thrive.

 

What to Expect on Your First Visit

At Venice Injury Clinic, we prioritize your comfort and recovery from the moment you walk through our doors. Your first visit is designed to thoroughly assess your condition and create a personalized treatment plan. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Warm Welcome: Our friendly staff will greet you and provide a brief set of new patient forms to complete (available below for download to save time).

2. Consultation with Dr. Neunder: Dr. Joe will listen to your health concerns, discuss any accident-related injuries, and review your medical history to understand your needs.

3. Comprehensive Evaluation: We’ll perform neurological and orthopedic exams to assess your condition. If needed, diagnostic imaging like X-rays or MRIs may be ordered to pinpoint the cause of your pain.

4. Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your evaluation, Dr. Neunder will develop a customized plan, which may include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, therapeutic services, or physical rehabilitation, tailored to your injuries and goals.

5. Education and Next Steps: We’ll explain your diagnosis, treatment options, and how we can support your recovery, including guidance on Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance requirements for auto accident patients.

Your first visit typically lasts 45–60 minutes, ensuring we have ample time to address your needs. If you’ve been in a car accident, prompt care is critical—Florida law requires a medical evaluation within 14 days to qualify for PIP insurance benefits. We offer same-day appointments to help you meet this deadline and begin healing immediately.

 

Preparing for Your Appointment

To make your first visit as smooth as possible, please follow these steps:

• Download and Complete Forms: Save time by downloading our New Patient Forms (#) (link to be added) and filling them out in advance. Bring them to your appointment or arrive 10–15 minutes early to complete them in our office.

• Bring Relevant Information:

  • A valid photo ID.

  • Insurance information, including PIP details if you’ve been in a car accident.

  • Any medical records, accident reports, or imaging related to your condition.

• Wear Comfortable Clothing: Loose, comfortable attire allows for easier assessments and adjustments.

• Note Your Symptoms: Jot down details about your pain, mobility issues, or accident-related concerns to discuss with Dr. Neunder.

If you’re an auto accident patient, bring your auto insurance policy number and any police report or attorney contact information to assist with PIP claims or legal documentation.

Auto Accident Patients: Special Considerations

If you’ve been involved in a car accident, seeking prompt chiropractic care is essential. Even minor collisions can cause hidden injuries like whiplash, soft tissue damage, or spinal misalignments that may not be immediately apparent due to adrenaline. At Venice Injury Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating auto accident injuries, including:

• Whiplash: Neck pain and stiffness from sudden head movement.

• Back Pain: Sprains, strains, or herniated discs caused by impact.

• Sciatica: Radiating pain from nerve compression.

• Headaches: Often linked to spinal misalignments or muscle tension.

• Soft Tissue Injuries: Damage to muscles, ligaments, or tendons.

We understand Florida’s PIP insurance requirements and offer no out-of-pocket care for accident-related visits, working closely with your insurance provider or attorney to ensure proper documentation. Our team helps you navigate the 14-day PIP deadline, providing timely evaluations to secure your benefits.

 

Insurance and Payment Options

Venice Injury Clinic strives to make chiropractic care affordable. We accept most major credit cards, checks, or cash, including auto insurance with PIP coverage for accident-related injuries. For auto accident patients, treatment may involve no out-of-pocket costs, as we work directly with your insurance provider. We also offer flexible payment options for non-insured services. Please contact our office to verify your insurance coverage or discuss payment plans.
