A car accident is the last thing anyone needs to deal with.
Between all of life’s other daily struggles, adding a car accident into the mix just produces more stress and more things to take care of.
Conyers Chiropractic for Car Accidents
One of the biggest questions after a car accident is where to seek treatment for your injuries.
Here’s when and why you should consider an adjustment from one of our experienced Conyers car accident injury Chiropractors following a car crash:
Was the car accident extensive?
Most people will agree to go to the hospital after an extensive car accident, and rightly so.
Any time a head injury is involved, or there is a chance of internal bleeding, receiving emergency medical care is critical.
But what most people don’t realize is that even minor car accidents can lead to soft tissue injuries, and if untreated they can lead to chronic arthritic issues.
When the vehicle doesn’t absorb the full shock of the crash, the occupants do–so anytime your body is jerked in response to a collision, the possibility of injury exists.
Are you in pain?
Pain after an automobile accident is a good indication of an injury.
If there’s any chance that severe or life-threatening injuries have been sustained, you should first go to an emergency room to rule those out.
Even if you are experiencing no pain, it is still a good idea to see a chiropractor after your car accident.
Many car accident injuries do not cause pain or discomfort until weeks or months later. After that time has passed, and you still have not sought treatment, you may be forfeiting your right to insurance coverage for your injuries.
The best rule of thumb to keep your health and your finances protected is to play it safe and get evaluated by a chiropractor within two weeks following your car accident.
