Your First Consultation After an Auto Accident Injury: What To Expect

Even if you are involved in a minor auto collision, it's prudent to seek medical attention right away. While you may not exhibit any immediate signs, some auto accident injuries are not apparent until days or weeks after the crash. If left untreated, auto accident injuries can lead to health complications in the future.

Common Auto Accident Injuries Treatable by Our Chiropractor

• Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries
• Neck and shoulder injuries
• Back and knee injuries
• Sprains and strains
• Fractures
• Herniated discs
• Headaches

What to Expect During Your First Visit

Here is what to expect at your first consultation:

Medical history: Our chiropractor will establish if you have any underlying medical condition and inquire about the nature of the accident, when it occurred, and whether you had your seat belt on. We aim to understand the nature of your injuries.

Physical examination: During this diagnostic examination, you will be required to make different movements to establish pain points and areas experiencing difficulty with mobility. Our doctor will work with you to understand your symptoms and the underlying cause of your condition.

Imaging: Our chiropractor may order some additional testing by using an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan to determine the extent of your injury.

Treatment: After the physical exam, we will discuss your treatment plan. Possible chiropractic treatments include non-invasive techniques like spinal adjustment, massage therapies, and corrective exercises.
