Why Is It Important to See a Chiropractor After a Car Accident?
Even if you feel fine after being in a car accident, you may develop symptoms in the days or weeks after your accident. You could also have hidden auto injuries that are being masked by the adrenaline rush from the accident. Dr. Jennifer Tinoosh, our chiropractor at Chiro-Med Health Center, recommends visiting her for an examination, diagnostic testing, and chiropractic care after an auto accident in Lynchburg, VA. Here is a look at why it is important to see a chiropractor after a car accident.
You May Have Hidden Auto Injuries
Hidden auto injuries are ones that aren’t immediately apparent due to visible or physical symptoms. Some of the most common auto injuries don’t necessarily cause immediate symptoms or may have such subtle symptoms at first that you don’t realize you have a serious injury. Dr. Tinoosh will complete a full examination and take an x-ray, MRI, and CT scan to see if you have any hidden injuries. She will also screen you for signs of common auto injuries like whiplash, head injury, concussion, and spinal injury.
The Faster You Receive Treatment, the Better Your Outcome
Delaying treatment of an auto injury can give your symptoms time to progress and worsen. If you never get treatment, you may end up with chronic symptoms like headaches, migraines, vertigo, neck pain, back pain, neck stiffness, anxiety, and memory problems. Dr. Tinoosh will make sure you get same-day treatment for auto injuries and that you also get a personalized auto injury treatment plan that is carefully designed to relieve pain, improve function, and prevent further injury or complications.
You Will Get Medical Documentation of Your Injury
If you need to take time off work due to your auto injuries, Dr. Tinoosh can provide you with official documentation proving your injury that you can provide to your employer. She can also provide you with the documentation you need to file a worker’s compensation claim, auto insurance claim, or personal injury claim.
