It is important to seek care shortly after an accident occurs.
In a study conducted by Harvard Medical School, it was shown that even the slightest impact often has damaging effects on the body. While most people do not realize it, it does not take a total vehicle crash to cause injury. Whether impact takes place at two miles per hour or 25 miles per hour-your body is likely to be shaken.
More often than not, accident-related injuries do not present themselves immediately or through excruciating pain. At the time of most accidents, adrenaline is kicked into high gear. This means that it can take a few days for symptoms to become apparent. In some cases, it is not until one week or so later that your body tells you something is wrong.
With early intervention through chiropractic care, your body is less likely to incur further damage and heal quickly and efficiently.
If you’re in a lot of pain, we will just make minor changes. Rest assured that you won’t receive a forceful adjustment. We will have you spend some time on the traction table or a roller table prior to your adjustment. The table can help to stretch out and loosen tight muscles and ligaments. We also can provide stretches and exercises that can strengthen those muscles back to where they were-to improve that range of mobility.
We’ll also perform additional orthopedic tests.
Many injuries are non-obvious, including lack of energy, difficulty focusing, irritability, and poor sleep. If you sense a change in the way you feel, regardless of intensity, you may be suffering from a masked injury.
Please do not hesitate to contact our practice with questions or concerns about your current condition.
Yes, we will provide whatever documentation you require for your case. If you need to seek redress in court, we will work with your attorney.
Why should I get checked by a chiropractor as soon as possible?
Even if you’re involved in a low-impact fender bender, your body will stay sustain trauma. Some people may not feel any pain following an accident, and they incorrectly believe that they’re okay. Then they’ll come in three weeks later saying they had a car accident, but their pain doesn’t start until then.
So that’s why it’s vital to have things checked out as soon as possible. We can provide timely treatment to get you back to your previous state so you can avoid more serious complications.
I already saw a doctor after my accident? Why should I see a chiropractor?
If you go to the hospital, they’re looking for different things, such as fractures. We’re looking at more detailed and muscle-related injuries as well. These symptoms are deeper muscle injuries, like whiplash, which can take weeks or even months to show up.
What's the difference between getting care at the ER or by a chiropractor?
It’s important to go to the nearest emergency room to make sure any immediate, life threatening injuries are treated appropriately. After you have been examined and received treatment, we can help with any muscle-related issues from your accident.
Do you ever refer patients to other doctors if needed?
Yes, if a patient has an issue out of our scope, we refer out or refer for further testing. We let them know that on that report of findings day- which is the second day.
In addition to whiplash, what are some of the other things that you see after an accident?
Some people will experience general muscle stiffness and tension, limited mobility, and headaches that result from that. You also may have sleep difficulties because of the pain keeping you awake. More severe issues can arise, such as concussions and disc injuries.
