With their noninvasive methods and various techniques, there are many car accident injuries chiropractors are capable of treating.

Some common injuries include:

  • Whiplash
  • Neck pain
  • Back pain
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Herniated discs
  • Subluxation
  • Back strains
  • Aching joints
  • And more!

Be sure to be as specific as possible with your personal injury chiropractor. 

The information your chiropractor has, the better suited they are to effectively alleviate your pain.

It cannot be stressed enough how important seeking medical attention immediately after an accident is.

However, even if significant time has passed your personal injury chiropractor can still be remarkably helpful.

Your chiropractor will categorize and treat injuries and conditions based on the following criteria:

  1. Acute: Symptoms noticed less than 6 weeks.
  2. Subacute: Symptoms observed 6-12 weeks.
  3. Chronic: Symptoms lasting longer than 12 weeks.
  4. Recurrent: Symptoms inconsistently flare up.

Therefore, chiropractors do not only treat immediate injuries.

The more immediate the better, but even chronic and long-lasting injuries can be treated and relieved by our chiropractic care.

After being involved in an accident, it is very likely that the other driver's insurance company will try to get in contact with you.

For your own benefit, it would be best not to communicate or reveal information with them.

You are under zero liability to answer any of their questions.

Typically, with the immediacy of their insurance company contacting you, you are unqualified to properly answer their questions and they will attempt to offer certain settlement opportunities that are less than you deserve.

Politely decline any questions asked by the other driver's insurance company, and refer to your own insurance company and attorney.

Since chiropractic care is noninvasive treatment, overall the level risk is significantly low.

However, every person in the world is different and have various reactions to treatment methods.

The two most common side-effects of personal injury chiropractic care are:

  1. Soreness and aches
  2. Dizziness and nausea 

Consider how your body feels when you exercise after months of a sedentary lifestyle.

At first, your body feels sore and is met with the ultimate resistance. Your joints may ache and you may be irritable.

Just like with chiropractic care, these temporary physical side-effects are actual positives and prove that your body is needing to adjust to the healthier, beneficial lifestyle and alignment.

Just hang in there, and you will feel amazing in no time.

After a car accident and personal injury, it may be difficult to see the bright side of things for a while.

Allow us to share some of the fantastic benefits you'll receive with chiropractic care once you stop by for a visit after your accident.

  1. The treatments are specific to you and your injury
  2. Treatment is all natural, meaning zero medication
  3. The methods used are noninvasive, meaning there will be no surgery
  4. You'll save cost based on the lack of surgery requirements
  5. Overall pain relief and assistance
  6. Joint function and mobility
  7. Treatment that focuses on the cause of the pain, not just the symptom
  8. Education on your injury, and treatment/preventative measures you can take going forward

Sometimes car accidents can seem completely unavoidable. These situations usually revolve around poor weather conditions.

However, a significant amount of car accidents are the result of negligent driving.

The most common reasons for car accidents are the following:

  • Speeding
  • Texting and driving
  • Talking on the phone and driving
  • Poor weather conditions
  • Configuring a GPS
  • defective auto parts
  • Tuning the radio
  • Driver exhaustion
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs

Absolutely.

Not all injuries are front and center.

While broken bones and pierced skin are obvious indicators of injury, do not overlook potential underlying conditions. 

Damage to soft tissue, muscles, and joints may have occurred without immediate signs.

Some broken bones may require X-rays to be revealed.

Whiplash is a very common injury post-accident, and those signs may take up to a week to appear.

For your own safety, and for legal documentation of injury, it is best to immediately seek medical attention after any sort of car accident or personal injury.
