Your First Consultation After an Auto Accident Injury: What To Expect

One moment you are driving down the road, and the next, your entire day - much like your vehicle, comes to a crashing stop. The other driver never even saw you coming when they pulled out. It might have been the sun glaring in their eyes, or perhaps their eyes were on their phone. The only thing you know for sure is wow - everything hurts. If you have been in an auto accident that led to a search for a chiropractor near you in the Edmonds area, our team at Optimal Health Chiropractic and Massage Clinic can help.

The Initial Consultation with Your Chiropractor

Hopefully, dealing with a car injury isn't something you are used to, and for many of us, the experience of having an auto injury is new. That also means that you may be a bit uncertain about what to expect upon your first visit to the chiropractor. Along with details about the auto accident, your chiropractor will also want to get some information regarding your medical history, past injuries, and other pertinent details. They will inquire about any issues like back pain or neck pain that may or may not be related to the accident.

Along with a physical and an overall assessment (generally including a spinal evaluation), your chiropractic team will document this information. From there, your chiropractor will develop a treatment plan to deal with issues from whiplash to headache relief treatment or any other chiropractic needs your injuries may require. In many cases, you might even receive treatment on your initial visit.
