Motor Vehicle Accident
Chiropractic care after an MVA:
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can be a traumatic experience, and the impact on your body may not always be immediately apparent. Even minor accidents can cause significant stress to the musculoskeletal system, leading to a range of injuries that may not manifest symptoms right away.
At Core Health and Spine, we understand the importance of prompt and specialized care following a motor vehicle accident. Our experienced chiropractors are here to help you on the road to recovery and ensure that any injuries are addressed effectively.
Just as delaying medical evaluation after a motor vehicle accident can lead to unseen consequences, postponing chiropractic care may result in prolonged discomfort and potential complications. Many individuals may not immediately feel the impact of an accident, but symptoms such as whiplash, TMJ syndrome, concussion, spinal pain, headaches, and even numbness and tingling in the extremities can surface in the days following the incident.
We recommend the following steps to follow after an automobile accident:
- ALWAYS file an accident report with the local police
- Contact your car insurance company or agent to report the accident and to get educated about your automobile insurance benefits
- Consult a chiropractor that excels at working with patients involved in MVAs
- Consider hiring an attorney, especially if the insurance companies or other driver are uncooperative or if your injuries will likely require ongoing care. Your chiropractor will help with this assessment.
