Personal Injury

When should I see a chiropractor?

Whether or not pain is present, it is a good idea to seek chiropractic treatment as soon as possible. Although a negligent act leading to a minor accident could not call for a trip to the emergency room, it could bring about unseen injuries. It is not uncommon for pain and injuries to surface within hours or days after an accident. Failing to seek care can result in several chronic conditions. Without an accurate evaluation of your potential injuries, you could end up paying thousands of dollars in medical treatment. Regardless of the amount of time it takes for symptoms to present themselves, they should be addressed immediately following an accident.

What are the benefits of chiropractic care after a personal injury?

In most cases after an accident, many people assume they may need surgery or drugs to relieve their pain. However, chiropractic care is an inexpensive and less invasive treatment when compared to traditional medical treatment. Many injuries do not cause stiffness, pain, soreness or discomfort until days or weeks after an accident. Seeing a chiropractor soon after an accident can help detect and prevent injuries from worsening

Non-Invasive Treatment

Seeking chiropractic treatment should be an injured person’s first stop simply because an adjustment can prevent an injury from becoming a more serious injury. Getting immediate treatment after an injury can lower one’s risks of having to undergo surgery to correct a problem. Surgery is a costly expense and, while it is unavoidable in some cases, for many it can be avoided through non-invasive chiropractic adjustments.
