Why Visit a Chiropractor Right After a Car Accident?

Written By Premier Chiropractic and Performance on February 21, 2023

Most people are so busy that even after being in a car accident, they don’t seek treatment because they think they feel fine. In reality, the adrenaline your body produces after a car accident can mask symptoms of injury, and some auto accident injuries don’t show signs until days or weeks later. This is why it is so important to visit a Jacksonville chiropractor right away for auto injury treatment: 

Immediate Evaluation of Underlying Injuries

Whether you’re showing symptoms of auto injuries or think you’re fine, our chiropractor can immediately evaluate you and recommend you get an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan if necessary. Instead of having to wait for hours in a hospital emergency room, our chiropractor can provide same-day exams and design a customized chiropractic treatment plan during that first visit. 

Comprehensive & Ongoing Chiropractic Care

Once our chiropractor has developed your comprehensive chiropractic care plan, he will continue seeing you until your auto injuries resolve and you have fully restored mobility and range of motion. Even once you are back to your normal, healthy self, our chiropractor can continue providing overall wellness care to prevent future injuries, treat ongoing symptoms like stress and insomnia, and help you become a healthier, stronger person overall. 

Documentation of Auto Injuries & Treatment

If you plan on filing an auto insurance, personal injury, or worker’s compensation claim, you will need to provide formal documentation of your auto injuries and treatment plan from a qualified medical specialist. Our chiropractor can provide that documentation, as well as an evaluation of how many treatments you will need in order to be “made whole,” or return to your previous state of health.
