Accidents while walking can happen in seconds. If you were struck while on foot in San Diego, seeing a San Diego pedestrian crossing injury chiropractor promptly can help you recover and protect your rights — even if you walked away initially.
At San Diego Auto Injury Center, we handle collisions involving pedestrians, crosswalk incidents, vehicle‑on‑foot injuries, and more. We offer bilingual care (English & Spanish), accept liens and MedPay, and assist with documentation for insurance or legal cases.
Why Pedestrian Injuries Need Specialized Care
Being hit or tripped while walking often results in unseen damage — altered gait, joint misalignment, nerve irritation. Although you may feel okay at first, symptoms often appear later. A chiropractor trained in pedestrian injuries can find and treat these issues before they become chronic.
Also, early medical intervention strengthens your case if you must pursue compensation.
Common Injuries After a Pedestrian Collision
- Joint misalignment in hips, knees, ankles from impact or fall
- Soft tissue injuries — muscles or ligaments overstretched
- Spinal misalignment due to sudden force
- Nerve compression leading to tingling or numbness
- Back, neck or head pain from the fall or impact
For knee or joint issues, see this joint alignment treatment page.

What You Should Do Immediately After Being Injured
1. Get a medical or chiropractic exam right away — even if you feel fine; hidden injuries can develop.
2. Take photos and gather witness info — the crosswalk, signage, vehicle damage, your footwear matter.
3. Notify authorities & save records — file a police or incident report, keep your medical documents.
4. Schedule your chiropractic evaluation — we’ll assess alignment, soft tissue damage, and start care immediately.
