Same Day Chiropractor Appointments: Walk-In Care St. Paul
Your back went out this morning. You bent over to tie your shoes, and something in your lower back just gave. Now you can barely stand up straight. Every movement sends a sharp pain through your spine. You need help NOW—not next Tuesday.
Or maybe you got rear-ended yesterday on 94, and today your neck feels like concrete. You can’t turn your head. The pain is getting worse by the hour. You don’t want to sit in urgent care for three hours just to be told to take ibuprofen.
This is why we offer same-day chiropractor appointments at Twin Cities Chiropractic in St. Paul. When you’re in serious pain, waiting days for relief isn’t an option.
When You Need a Same-Day Chiropractor
Sudden, severe back pain that came out of nowhere. You were fine this morning, but now you can barely move. This kind of acute pain responds incredibly well to immediate treatment.
Acute neck pain or stiffness is making it impossible to function. You can’t turn your head to check your blind spot. The longer you wait, the more the muscles spasm and lock up.
You just got in a car accident. Even if you feel “okay” right now, whiplash symptoms can appear days after an accident. Getting evaluated within 48 hours makes a huge difference in recovery.
A sports injury that just happened. You tweaked something during a workout, and it’s getting worse, not better. Sports injuries need quick attention to prevent chronic problems.
A sciatica flare-up with shooting pain down your leg. That electric sensation is nerve compression, and sciatica can get progressively worse if not addressed.
You hurt yourself at work and need documentation. We handle workplace injury treatment and provide all necessary documentation.
The bottom line: if pain is affecting your ability to work, sleep, or do normal activities, don’t wait.
What Happens During a Same-Day Visit
No ridiculous wait times. We’re not an urgent care where you sit for two hours. We understand you’re in pain and need help now.
Real evaluation on your first visit. Dr. Sorum takes time to understand what happened, examine you thoroughly, check the range of motion, test reflexes, and nerve function.
Treatment begins the same day. You’ll get your first chiropractic adjustment during that visit. If needed, Joy Vang can provide manual therapy to release muscle spasms immediately.
X-rays if needed. We can take X-rays right here in the office. No waiting days for results.
You walk out feeling better. That first adjustment often provides immediate relief, even if it’s just taking the edge off.
Conditions We Treat Same Day
Back pain and sciatica. Whether lower, mid, or upper back, we can evaluate and treat it today.
Neck pain and stiffness. Chronic neck pain or acute injuries both respond well to immediate treatment.
Whiplash from car accidents. We specialize in auto accident injuries and work directly with insurance companies.
Sports injuries. Pulled muscles, strained ligaments, joint problems—we treat these all the time.
Herniated discs. We offer spinal decompression therapy in addition to adjustments.
Headaches and migraines. Severe headaches starting in your neck often respond immediately to treatment.

Same Day Chiropractic vs. Urgent Care or ER
For musculoskeletal problems—back pain, neck pain, joint pain—a chiropractor is almost always your best first option.
Urgent care and ERs are great for broken bones or medical emergencies. But for back and neck pain? They’ll prescribe painkillers and tell you to follow up with a specialist. You’ll wait hours, pay more money, and walk out with no actual treatment.
We actually fix the problem. We address misaligned vertebrae, compressed nerves, and muscle spasms—things chiropractic treatment directly fixes.
Go to the ER if:
- Serious car accident with possible broken bones
- Severe weakness or loss of bowel/bladder control
- Pain with fever or other concerning symptoms
Come see us for:
- Acute back or neck pain
- Sciatica and radiating leg pain
- Auto accident injuries like whiplash
- Sports injuries
- Work-related injuries
- Any pain affecting your ability to function
The cost difference is significant. An ER visit can run $1,000-$3,000. A same-day chiropractic visit? A fraction of that, and you actually get treatment.
Don’t Wait Until Tomorrow
Acute pain rarely gets better on its own. That muscle spasm? It’s tightening up more overnight. That neck stiffness? The inflammation is building.
People who receive immediate treatment recover faster and have fewer complications than those who wait.
If you’re in pain right now, don’t wait. Get evaluated and treated today.
