Chiropractic Treatments Are Effective for Auto Accident Injuries

Research shows effective Chiropractic treatments have proven successful for thousands of auto accident patients. A car accident chiropractor can, in many cases, significantly reduce patients’ distress and allow them to return to their normal daily activities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Treatment After an Auto Accident

Should I go to a chiropractor after a car accident?

Yes, it’s a good idea to see a chiropractor after a car accident. Even if you’re not experiencing any pain immediately after an auto accident, it’s common for injuries to take days or even weeks to start causing any discomfort. The earlier you seek treatment, the better your chances are of making a full recovery. In addition, if you were involved in a car accident where someone else was at fault, insurance may not cover your medical expenses if you wait too long after the accident to seek treatment.

How long should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?

This depends on the severity of your injury. Some patients may find permanent relief from their injury after a few weeks’ worth of treatments, while others may need ongoing chiropractic care if an injury is significant. 

Who pays for a chiropractor after a car accident?

If another driver was responsible for your car accident, their insurance may provide reimbursement for your chiropractic care. If you were at fault, you will need to use your own insurance or pay for your treatments out-of-pocket.

Why see a chiropractor after an auto accident?

Chiropractors are experts in treating injuries to the spine, which are one of the most common injuries suffered in auto accidents.
