SERVICE
Personal Injury Chiropractor
A major impact can change the function of the body immediately and produce many secondary conditions. Getting rear-ended, T-boned, or sideswiped in a motor vehicle accident can bring with it neck and low back issues as well as more severe changes such as disk herniations and nerve obstructions. Car accident cases such as these take time to return back to optimal function, but the process can be enhanced by functional Chiropractic care.
Car accidents can do some major damage to the body. Even a small accident can cause a big change in how your body functions and how you feel.
The goal with Chiropractic care is to get you functioning and feeling as close to you as you were before the accident happened. In order to determine this, we track your progress on every visit.
Significance: Why is it important? How does it help? What are common services/next steps?
The impact of a car accident is significant even if the accident occurred at only 5 miles per hour. Spinal changes can occur and the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints can all be irritated, inflamed, and in pain. Some impacts are more serious than others and may require other interventions before being seen by a Chiropractor.
Chiropractic care will look specifically at how the impact affected the body and nervous system and how we can get that system into a healing state. Chiropractic adjustments, therapy, and exercises can all be given to order to allow this process to occur as fast as possible.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you in the office soon.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon following a car accident can I come in for care?
The first visit at Ryno Family Chiropractic can even take place on the day of the accident. It is advised that if you are checked out by the paramedics on the scene of the accident and need to go to the ER or urgent care you go there first and make sure you are cleared or get a diagnosis before coming for your first visit. Your first visit will include a detailed health history and description of the accident as well as a functional exam and referral for any additional x-ray/MRI if needed.
Is there a difference if I was hit or if I hit someone else?
Yes, in many cases if you were hit by someone else and they have insurance and were found at fault that their car insurance company will be billed for the services deemed necessary. If you were the one who caused the accident you may need care just as bad, but you may have to pay out of pocket for care or your car insurance may cover it depending on the coverage you have.
Is there any important information that I need to bring with me to my visit?
Paperwork is crucial to motor vehicle accident cases. We need a clear understanding of what happened, how it happened, and the extent of the injuries you sustained. This allows us to give the best care plan possible and track your results. You will have to fill out intake paperwork and bring both parties insurance information as well as police reports and any other information from other medical care you have received. It ends up being a smooth process as long as we prepare for it.
