You have been in an auto accident — what now? Whether you feel like you have suffered an injury or not, you should visit Advanced Family Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Imperial. Our chiropractor will discuss your health and perform a chiropractic exam to determine the extent of your injuries before creating a chiropractic care plan tailored to your needs. Following are the answers to questions our chiropractor frequently receives regarding auto accident injuries.

Do I Still Need to Visit a Chiropractor Even If I Feel Fine?

Yes! Sometimes the pain resulting from an auto accident injury will not show up for days or even weeks. You may not be feeling any pain despite significant damage has occurred. If you have recently been involved in a car accident, we recommend visiting our chiropractor as soon as possible regardless of your pain levels.

How Long Do I Have to See the Chiropractor?

The number of sessions you will need will depend on the type, location, and severity of your auto accident injuries. Our chiropractor will carefully assess your musculoskeletal system when determining the combination of therapies that will benefit you the most. Typically, treatment plans for an auto accident injury call for regular adjustments over a six to eighteen-month period.

How Do I Know If I Have Whiplash?

Whiplash can occur during an auto accident, especially when you are hit from behind. If you are experiencing neck pain, back pain, blurred vision, headaches, nausea, or insomnia, you are likely suffering from whiplash. Chiropractic adjustments will reduce your pain, restore your mobility, and improve your body’s natural ability to heal itself.
