Auto Accident Injury: What to Expect at Your First Consultation

consultation

Auto accidents happen all the time, and they are common causes of injuries. Even the most experienced drivers who follow all the rules can still get into an accident. So, what next after the auto injury?

Ideally, the essential thing is to seek medical intervention, in most cases, chiropractic care. Even if the accident was minor, making an appointment with our chiropractor should be the first thing you do. You see, most injuries like whiplash may not show at first but may develop complications later. If you live in Renton, WA, here is what to expect following an auto accident injury from Renton Center Chiropractic.

An Account of the Accident

Recounting how the accident was and occurred is usually a critical session. Your diagnosis depends on how well you explain the occurrence. For example, we will ask whether you were hit from behind, hit something, and the position you were in during the accident.

Medical History

Discussing your medical history is crucial in assessing whether you are prescribed any medications or have an underlying condition. Additionally, you may have allergies that may be concerning to our chiropractor.

Questions and Concerns

Your symptoms after the accident are crucial in helping our chiropractor know which tests to undertake, for example, which part feels pain or the position that triggers the pain.

Comprehensive Examination

Our chiropractor will then perform a physical examination to determine the affected areas and your muscle strength. Depending on the affected parts, our chiropractor may perform X-rays or an MRI to check for further injuries.

Treatment plan 

After a comprehensive examination, our chiropractor will make a proper diagnosis. Then, depending on the auto accident injury you sustained, our chiropractor will present all available treatment plans and discuss the best for your case. Such treatment plans may include spinal manipulation, physical therapy, chiropractic exercises, etc.
