Auto accidents happen all the time, even to the most experienced drivers. Some of these accidents are unavoidable due to all kinds of drivers on the roads. If you have been in a car accident, it is advisable to seek medical attention immediately, whether you feel any pain or not. Some auto accident injuries like whiplash present no sign at first, but you begin to feel the pain with time, which can result in a chronic condition.
Luckily, our chiropractor at Cason Chiropractic in Harrisonburg, VA, can detect hidden injuries and put you on a treatment plan before the pain becomes chronic. But what should you expect during the first chiropractic consultation? Here is a rundown.
A chiropractor from our practice will want to evaluate your medical history. Assess whether you have any underlying condition or whether you are under medication.
We understand you may be in shock, but this is usually a critical session for proper diagnosis. A chiropractor on our team will ask you how the accident occurred. For example, whether your car was hit or hit something and your position during the accident.
A chiropractor on our team will ask you how you feel after an accident. Which part of your body is in pain or which position makes the pain worse? With this information, our chiropractor will know which test to undertake.
A chiropractor on our team will then perform a physical test to determine the affected joints, range of motion, and strength of your muscles. Test exams like X-rays can help determine the exact cause of pain and detect any fracture.
After a thorough examination, a chiropractor from our practice can now diagnose you with an auto accident injury you sustained. Our chiropractor will then present all available treatment plans that may include spinal manipulation, massage therapy, physical therapy, etc. Depending on what works for your injury, you will be administered a treatment plan.
Don't wait until you can't move your body to seek chiropractic care. Many benefits come with visiting a chiropractor immediately after an auto accident. For example, a chiropractor on our team can help reduce inflammation, help reduce scar tissue, help improve your range of motion, and help allow your body to heal naturally.
