FAQ

Yes, chiropractic care can be very helpful for injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Chiropractors are trained to evaluate and treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries, including those caused by car accidents. Common injuries such as whiplash, back pain, neck pain, and soft tissue injuries can be effectively treated through chiropractic care.

It is recommended that you seek chiropractic care as soon as possible after an automobile accident, ideally within a few days. Even if you don't feel any immediate pain or discomfort, it's important to get evaluated by a chiropractor because some injuries may not show up right away.

During your first appointment, your chiropractor will evaluate your injuries and medical history. They will also perform a physical examination to determine the extent of your injuries and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Treatment may include spinal adjustments, massage, and other therapies to help reduce pain and improve mobility.

The length of your recovery time will depend on the extent of your injuries and how well you respond to treatment. Some patients may start feeling better after just a few chiropractic sessions, while others may require ongoing care for several months. Your chiropractor can give you a better idea of what to expect based on your individual case.

It's not uncommon to experience some soreness or discomfort after a chiropractic adjustment, but this should subside within a day or two. If you experience any unusual or severe pain after your appointment, contact your chiropractor right away to discuss your symptoms and determine if further treatment is needed.
