Your First Consultation After an Auto Accident

What to Expect

Whether your car gets bumped in a fender bender or you survive a head-on crash, you always need to see your chiropractor as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment of injuries. Not only will you potentially save yourself months or even years of progressive pain and disability, but you will also have better evidence for claims you need to make on your insurance or the other driver's policy. Read on to learn more about your first consultation At Auto Accident Urgent Care, where we have provided residents of the Kansas City Metro with natural and effective auto accident injury treatment for many years.

Auto Injuries Can Be Subtle

Even a crash at 2 miles per hour can knock your body out of alignment. However, you probably won't notice the effects of your auto injuries right away. That's particularly true of whiplash and neck injuries. Tiny tears in the muscles of your neck don't cause you any problems until they begin to heal, days to weeks after they are injured. The repair process for injured muscles involves inflammation and swelling that pulls directly on your spine, and then when your spine pinches nerves coming out of your neck bones, you have pain and loss of mobility. This is why it is important to schedule an appointment with a chiropractor as soon as possible following an auto accident.

Pain and Disability after Auto Injuries Are Cumulative

Untreated auto injuries usually just get worse and worse. You may have a collection of symptoms that don't seem connected to your injuries. At first, you may just feel "off." It may make you anxious or fidgety. You may have an odd reaction to heat or cold. You may feel a little stiff, but it may come and go. There are cases where severe pain and immobility only started several years after a car accident. The longer you put off your visit with a chiropractor, the worse the pain and immobility get.
