Our Story
My name is Aaron Oxenrider, DC, CCWP, DAAMLP. I’m a board certified chiropractic physician, certified in pain management, and I hold a diplomat from the American Academy of Medical Legal Professionals. I have been helping people in accidents return to their daily lives since 2003. Unfortunately, many people are injured every day but, there are very few doctors who specialize in treating the people who have been in accidents.
After an accident, if you don’t receive the correct care, if specialized testing isn’t done at the right time and documented properly, the result could mean thousands of dollars in unnecessary expenses to you. An already bad situation just became much worse.
In an effort to make sure you get the care and treatment that you need to recover and return to your life, pain free, I have created Spine & Injury Centers of Indiana. Spine & Injury Centers of Indiana has a team of doctors and experts who work together to make things easy for you.
Beyond the pain and physical stresses related to injury and accident, often times you're also stuck dealing with the insurance companies. There are paperwork and reports that need to be filled out, filed and sent to the insurance company in a timely manner. Coordinating all the documentation you receive while being treated for an injury can be a major hassle, frustrating and time consuming.
Spine & Injury Centers of Indiana has a team of insurance specialists that works together with all parties so you don’t have to chase down reports and paperwork. We call the insurance company to verify and submit your claims for you. It doesn’t matter whether your coverage is from MedPay or health insurance. We will even deliver all of your medical documentation to your attorney if necessary.

He is a graduate of the world renowned Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, thus offering excellence in diagnosis of tempero-mandibular disorder (TMD), head, neck, facial pain, implants, cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry.
