Step #1—Go to an Emergency Clinic (if necessary)
While spending hours in an Emergency Room following a collision is not enjoyable, it is necessary to rule out serious injuries that might not show up for days or weeks later. Headaches, neck pain and a feeling of “Brain Fog” are common symptoms of soft tissue strains/sprains but life threatening conditions should be ruled out first.
Step #2—Determine if Chiropractic Care Is Necessary Following an Auto Accident
While the ability for an automobile to dampen the amount of trauma to your spine has improved dramatically over the last decade, your spine and soft tissue still absorbs much of the impact. Your first appointment at an accident chiropractor should include a consultation and diagnostic examination (including X-Rays if necessary) to determine if Chiropractic Care is warranted. An estimated timeframe for pain relief should be provided prior to treatments. If Chiropractic Care can help, treatments should vary from light adjustments and soft tissue mobilization.
Step #3—Determine if Legal Counsel is Needed
Depending on your case, you may not need or want to use a personal injury attorney. In these cases, seek an accident chiropractor that has experience billing the car insurance company directly. If the accident was not your fault and you want the responsible party to pay, we highly recommend that you consult legal counsel.
Step#4—What If My Car Wasn’t Damaged? Can I Use My Car Insurance if I Need Treatment?
Absolutely! Studies show that low speed collisions can produce an impact of 7-10Gs and cause injuries even if there is no damage to the car. Some insurance policies carry personal injury protection that is used for these situations. Make sure your medical team checks your insurance and provides you with advice on how to file a claim before beginning treatment.
