Serving Dover and the Surrounding Kent County Communities
Our Dover clinic is the primary location for Optimus Injury Treatment Center and the hub of our statewide personal injury practice. We treat patients from Dover and the broader Kent County region, including Smyrna, Camden, Harrington, and Milford — communities where access to credentialed, injury-specific care has historically meant long drives or fragmented referrals.
If you were discharged from Bayhealth Kent General or another Dover-area emergency room after a collision, you likely left without a clear next step for soft tissue injuries, neurological symptoms, or documentation of your injuries. That gap is exactly what we exist to close. We see post-ER patients quickly, document thoroughly, and build a clinical record that holds up in a personal injury claim.
Auto Accident Injury Treatment in Dover, DE
We treat the full range of injuries that follow a motor vehicle collision — from whiplash and cervical strain to low back injury, soft tissue damage, and traumatic brain injury. Every treatment plan at our Dover clinic is built around your specific injury presentation, not a generic protocol.

- Whiplash treatment and cervical spine rehabilitation
- Soft tissue injury treatment for muscle, ligament, and tendon damage
- Neck injury and low back injury care
- Auto accident follow-up care for patients recently discharged from the ER
- Traumatic brain injury diagnosis and evaluation, including post-concussion syndrome

- Dry needling and acupuncture as adjunct injury care
- Adaptive contrast oxygen therapy (ACOT) for TBI recovery
- EMG and NCV electrodiagnostic testing
What Dover Patients Can Expect at Their First Visit
Your first appointment at our Dover clinic is a comprehensive injury evaluation — not a brief intake and adjustment. We take the time to understand the full scope of your accident, your symptoms, and your medical history before any treatment begins.
During your initial visit, we assess your musculoskeletal injuries, screen for neurological involvement, and determine whether advanced diagnostics such as EMG/NCV testing or neuropsychological evaluation are indicated. If TBI markers are present, we initiate that pathway immediately rather than waiting for a separate referral. You leave your first appointment with a clear treatment plan and the beginning of a documented clinical record.

Dr. Anthony Doran, Psy.D.

Frequently Asked Questions — Car Accident Chiropractor in Dover, DE
How soon after a car accident should I see a chiropractor in Dover?
You should seek evaluation as soon as possible after your accident — ideally within 72 hours of ER discharge. Early documentation of injuries strengthens your personal injury claim and ensures that soft tissue injuries and neurological symptoms are identified before they are attributed to other causes. Delays in treatment can create gaps in your medical record that are difficult to overcome later.Does Optimus accept patients on a lien basis for personal injury cases?
Yes. We work with personal injury attorneys throughout Delaware on a lien basis, meaning you receive treatment now and payment is resolved at the conclusion of your case. Our front desk can walk you through the process during your first call.What if I think I might have a concussion or brain injury from my accident?
Many patients who sustain a traumatic brain injury in a collision are discharged from the ER without a TBI diagnosis — standard ER imaging often misses the functional and cognitive effects of mild TBI. We offer free TBI screenings and on-site neuropsychological evaluation through Dr. Doran. If TBI markers are identified, we initiate a structured evaluation and treatment plan without requiring a separate specialist referral.Do you treat workers' compensation injuries in addition to auto accidents?
Yes. Our Dover clinic treats work injury cases under workers' compensation alongside our personal injury patients. We provide functional rehabilitation, injury documentation, and return-to-work assessments for injured workers throughout Kent County.Can you provide documentation for my personal injury attorney?
Clinical documentation for litigation is a core function of this practice, not an add-on. Our reports are structured specifically for personal injury claims — covering injury causation, functional limitations, treatment progress, and prognosis in a format that attorneys and adjusters can use directly. We have active referral relationships with 23 attorney offices across Delaware.
