Keep reading to learn more about your first visit and what you can expect.

Meet Our Chiropractor 

When you first arrive, you have an opportunity to meet our chiropractor. During this time you can discuss the nature of your injuries and any other treatment you may have already had. You should also fill the doctor in on your past medical history.

Diagnostics

If you do not already have a standing diagnosis concerning your injuries, the chiropractor will perform diagnostics. This may consist of exams and x-rays. These diagnostics will help the chiropractor determine what types of injuries you are suffering from. The most common type of injury following a car accident is whiplash. An auto accident chiropractor will be able to pinpoint the nature of your injury and develop a treatment plan for you.

Treatment Plan

There are many types of treatments available that can help you recover quickly from your car accident. Let's look at some of these options.

Spinal adjustment: If your spine is out of alignment following your car wreck, a spinal adjustment can help to bring balance back to your spine.

Spinal decompression: If you have sustained a disc injury during your wreck, spinal decompression can be used to help the disc start to heal.

Massage therapy: If you are suffering from whiplash, massage therapy can help to loosen tightened traumatized muscles.
