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

Even the most careful drivers sometimes get into auto accidents. Our team at Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville provides treatment services for individuals following auto accidents. Chiropractic care is effective in treating the injuries associated with automotive accidents. If these injuries are not attended to promptly, they can worsen over time.

Treatment After an Auto Accident

When an auto accident occurs, you and everyone else in the vehicle will be shaken up. Major injuries will be treated at the scene by EMTs then transported to an emergency room. However, many auto accident injuries do not manifest for days or weeks after the fact. Symptoms of whiplash can sneak up well after the accident. This is where chiropractic care comes in. We use a variety of techniques to treat the symptoms of auto accident injury while also addressing the root cause of your pain.

Physical Care to Treat an Auto Accident Injury

If you are involved in an auto accident, you need to be assessed by a medical professional. While you may not feel injured at the time of the accident, some injuries only develop in the hours following an accident. Injuries, such as whiplash, may not be noticeable until 24 hours after the accident or longer. Major injuries, such as broken bones, need to be treated in an emergency room. Following the initial treatment, the patient will need more restorative treatments such as physical therapy and chiropractic care. For complete recovery, you need to follow up on all treatment recommendations. A chiropractor will be able to isolate and treat the injuries from an auto accident.
