An Auto Accident Injury Treatment Should Begin Right Away

It is important to visit our clinic for an auto accident injury treatment immediately after the accident. Many people make the mistake of waiting to seek treatment until a week or two has passed and they can no longer live with the pain. We do not recommend this.

Victims often go into shock

The trauma that the body suffers in a car accident can fluctuate from mild to severe. Initially, the body will go into a state of shock and it will be difficult to understand how bad the injuries actually are. In fact, many people leave an accident thinking that they are sore but otherwise okay when they actually have severe injuries.

It can take days or even a week for the shock to wear off and the body to feel the full extent of the injury. By waiting to receive treatment until this time, the pain can be more severe. Instead, patients need to visit our clinic the same or next day to begin receiving treatment.

Helping your body to heal

Our auto accident injury treatment is non-invasive and helps to promote healing by enabling the body to function the way it should. Through adjustments, we are able to move the spine back into the correct position to ensure that patients do not suffer from things like a slipped disc or a pinched nerve that can further exasperate the pain. We may also recommend massage and physical therapy as part of the overall treatment plan. They can be incredibly effective at doing two things.

Getting a massage from a professional can help to relax the muscles that became stiff and tense due to the accident. It is crucial to seek a massage from a medical professional, such as ourselves, to help properly stimulate healing. Physical therapy works by strengthening the body to prevent a further injury.

Benefits of physical therapy

Physical therapy is particularly important when someone has a back, shoulder or neck injury. With such an injury, the muscles around it are not strong enough and will not have enough support. Thus, a jerking or jarring motion may cause the injury to flare up again. By doing exercises and stretching under our supervision, patients can reduce the risk of this happening.

Since our auto accident injury treatment is focused on enabling the body to heal itself, we do not provide patients with a lot of medication. This makes our treatment a more natural approach than one typically found in a traditional doctor's office. For anyone who is concerned about creating a dependency on pain relievers, our approach is far safer.

Paying for treatment

After an auto accident, a driver's insurance policy should kick in and begin covering medical expenses. To do so, a victim needs to open a claim with the insurance company. They will provide a claim number that can be used at our office and billed against.

This way, it does not cost anything out-of-pocket for care. The insurance company can provide more information regarding how much they will cover on an ongoing basis.
