01 — WHAT IT IS

Hurting today? Get seen today.

Yes — you can see a chiropractor today in Jacksonville. Meridian offers same-day appointments at two offices: Southside Jacksonville and Orange Park. Call, tell us what happened, and we book the earliest open time. Your exam and, when it is appropriate, your first treatment happen at the same visit.

Same-day visits are for pain that cannot wait until next week: a back that locked up, a neck you cannot turn, a sciatica flare, or an injury from a car accident, work, or sport. Hours at both offices: Monday–Thursday 9am–7pm · Friday 8am–5pm.

Call Jacksonville (904) 379-9412 or Orange Park (904) 541-4826. Prefer not to call? Request a callback and our front desk will reach out.

Most same-day calls are one of the problems below. If yours is something else, call anyway — a provider sorts it out at the exam.

02 — SYMPTOMS

How a same-day visit works

01 — Call or request a callback
Tell us what happened and which office is closer. We book the earliest open time.
02 — History and exam
How it started, what makes it worse, and a hands-on orthopedic and neurological exam. If imaging is needed, we tell you why.
03 — Treatment starts
When it is safe and appropriate, care begins at the same visit — adjustment, soft tissue work, or other tools your provider chooses.
04 — A plan you understand
What we found, what we are treating, and what the next few visits look like. No guessing. Plan on about 45 minutes for your first visit.
03 — HOW WE TREAT IT

What we see the same day.

01
Back that locked up
You bent to pick something up and now you cannot stand straight. Acute low back spasm is one of the most common reasons people call us the same morning.
02
Neck you cannot turn
Woke up with a stiff neck, or it seized while driving. We check the joints and muscles and get it moving again.
03
Sciatica flare
Pain shooting down the leg, into the buttock or calf. We find where the nerve is irritated and take pressure off it.
04
Car accident injury
Neck, back, or headache pain after a crash — even a minor one. Same-day exams inside Florida's 14-day PIP window.
05
Work or lifting injury
Hurt on the job or moving furniture at home. We treat the injury and document it from the first visit.
06
Sports injury
A tweak in the gym, on the course, or on the field. Get it assessed before it turns into weeks on the sideline.
— GO TO THE ER OR CALL 911 FIRST
Chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, sweating, or nausea — even if the pain is in your shoulder, arm, jaw, or upper back. Loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness in the groin or inner thighs. Leg or arm weakness that is getting worse. Back pain with fever, or after a major fall or high-speed crash. The worst headache of your life, sudden confusion, or trouble speaking. Once you have been cleared, we are here for the recovery.
04 — GOOD TO KNOW

Why getting in today matters

Acute pain changes how you move. You guard the sore side, you sit differently, you sleep in one position. Within days those habits start to feed the problem. Getting the joint and muscles moving again early keeps a bad week from becoming a bad month.

Chiropractic care is drug-free and non-surgical, and there is no downtime — most people drive themselves home and go back to their day. It is also conservative care in the truest sense: chiropractors pay a fraction of the malpractice premiums that surgeons and most physicians pay, and insurers set those premiums from real claims data.

For car accident injuries, timing also affects coverage. Florida PIP requires your first visit within 14 days of the crash. Read more in our guide to Florida's 14-day PIP rule, or start with our page for people hurt in a car accident.

05 — COMMON QUESTIONS

Same-day chiropractic questions

Can I see a chiropractor today in Jacksonville?
Yes. Same-day appointments are available at both of our offices — Southside Jacksonville on Old Baymeadows Road and Orange Park on Kingsley Avenue. Call (904) 379-9412 (Jacksonville) or (904) 541-4826 (Orange Park), or request a callback on this page, and we will find you the earliest open time.
Can I get an exam and an adjustment on the same day?
In most cases, yes. Your first visit starts with a history and a hands-on exam. When the exam shows treatment is safe and appropriate, your provider starts care at that same visit, so you do not leave with only a plan and the same pain.
Is there such a thing as an emergency chiropractor?
There is no chiropractic emergency room. What there is: a same-day visit for pain that is urgent but not dangerous — a back that locked up this morning, a neck you cannot turn, a flare of sciatica, or an injury from a car accident, work, or sport. If you have any of the warning signs listed on this page, go to the emergency room or call 911 first.
What should I bring to a same-day visit?
A photo ID, your insurance card, and any recent imaging reports you already have. If you were in a car accident, bring the crash report or claim number and your auto insurance card. Wear clothes you can move in.
Do you take insurance for same-day appointments?
Yes. We work with Florida Blue, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna. In-network status varies by plan. We verify your benefits before your first visit. For car accident injuries, we accept all auto insurance.
I was in a car accident today. Should I wait to see if I feel worse?
No. Pain from a crash often shows up a day or two later, and Florida PIP requires your first visit within 14 days of the accident. Get checked early. We see accident patients same-day.
How long does a same-day visit take?
Plan on about 45 minutes for a first visit. Follow-up visits are shorter.
