How Soon Should You See A Chiropractor AFTER A Car accident?
I am commonly asked "When should I see a chiropractor after an accident?". Patients are regularly misinformed on when the right time to see a Doctor of Chirorpactic following a motor vehicle soft tissue accident. Many times people are told "Don't go in right away, wait 2 months and then go in if you still hurt." Well, that could NOT be further from the truth.
In FACT, you should make an appointment to be evaluated ON your way home from the accident. Studies are now showing that the earlier gentle chiropractic treatment begins the less long term problems that result.
That's right, beginning care within 24 to 48 hours AFTER an accident enhances the recovery process. So CALL your chiropractor IMMEDIATELY, get in, get evaluated, get under care. IN our office, we implement a combination of gentle adjustments with light massage techniques to help with swelling and pain immediately following an accident.
We then guide the patients through exercise instruction, posture education and of course specific chiropractic spinal adjustments. By the way, whiplash can cause DISC damage, you should see a chiropractor who is versed in the spinal decompression table as it can get INCREDIBLE results with people who have had whiplash accidents.
Take action NOW, don't put off your health until tomorrow&..tomorrow may be too late&and remember, when you have your health ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, when you don't have your health, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!
