Injured in an accident?
Get the care you need — with no upfront cost.
Metro East Injury Centers is a locally owned chiropractic and physical therapy clinic in Swansea, IL. We treat auto accident, work, and personal injury patients — and we work on a lien, so you pay nothing out of pocket until your case settles.
How lien-based care works
If you were hurt in a car accident, work incident, or slip and fall, you likely have a right to have your medical bills covered by the at-fault party. We make it simple — you start treatment right away, and we handle the billing through your case.
Step 1
Call or come in
Tell us how you were injured. We will schedule your first visit quickly — usually within 24–48 hours.
Step 2
Start treatment
Dr. Brunkhorst evaluates your injuries and builds a care plan. No insurance claim required to begin.
Step 3
We document everything
Your treatment records support your injury case. Our documentation is thorough and attorney-ready.
Step 4
Pay from your settlement
When your case resolves, your medical bill is paid from the proceeds. Most patients owe nothing upfront.

Common questions
Do I need health insurance to be seen?
No. For qualifying injury cases, we work on a lien — meaning your health insurance is not billed and you pay nothing upfront. Call us to confirm your situation qualifies.

As soon as possible. Documenting your injuries early is important for both your health and your case. Do not wait for symptoms to get worse — call us at (618) 235-1500.
Do I need an attorney to use your clinic?
No. An attorney is not required to begin treatment. However, if you are pursuing an injury claim, having one helps protect your rights. We can help you understand your options — call us at (618) 235-1500 to get started.

Auto accidents (car, motorcycle, commercial vehicle), work injuries, slip and fall, and other personal injury events. We also treat sports injuries and general chiropractic patients.
