Was my accident serious enough for medical treatment?

The types of injuries following car accidents varies greatly and depends on a number of things including; the speed of both cars involved in the collision, the size of the cars, condition of the road, the position of the headrests, bracing for impact etc. It is important to remember that the magnitude of the collision doesn’t always determine the severity of the ensuing injury. Even minor accidents have caused severe damage to the spine, nervous, and other bodily systems. One of the most common injuries involved with car accidents is whiplash; but cuts, concussions, muscular/ligament damage, broken bones, and internal injuries may also occur.

I felt alright right after the accident, but as time progresses I am having more pain.

People are often under the misconception that the injuries resulting from an automobile accident are always immediately noticeable or recognized following the incident. However, some injuries are unnoticed for days or weeks following the accident.

I was treated at the ER, but I think I need more care.

We see many patients that were treated at an emergency facility directly following their accident. Most of the time, these patients are examined, then prescribed pain medicine and discharged. But what if the pain persists? What if you want to know what is causing the pain and how to correct it? After your consult and exam at our office, we will let you know if your injury is something chiropractic can help, or if another provider is best suited for care.
