Why Visit a Chiropractor After a Car Accident?
After a car accident, you may feel fine but have injuries that aren’t yet showing symptoms. Some auto accident injuries, like whiplash, won’t be noticeable until hours or days after your accident. If you have recently been involved in a car accident, it is important to schedule an appointment with the team here at Tree City Chiropractic in Tualatin.
Uncover Injuries
When you visit Tree City Chiropractic after a car accident, one of our doctors—Dr. Daniel Lujan, D.C. or Dr. Joshua Pettigrew, D.C.—will do a full physical examination to determine if you have any injuries. The doctor may also recommend diagnostic testing, like x-rays, an MRI, or a CT scan. Whether you’re in pain or aren’t showing any symptoms, these tests will uncover any injuries you have that need treatment. The most common car accident injuries may not show immediate symptoms or be visible to the naked eye.
Heal Faster
Receiving swift care and chiropractic treatment ensures that you heal faster and can get back to your regular routine. After determining the extent of your injuries, Dr. Lujan or Dr. Pettigrew will design a customized chiropractic care treatment plan that can reduce pain and inflammation, promote healing, improve circulation, and improve mobility. Getting the care and treatment you need also reduces your risk of re-injury and will prevent your injury from worsening and becoming chronic or permanent.
Get Documentation of Your Injuries and Treatment Plan
Dr. Lujan or Dr. Pettigrew can provide you with documentation of your injuries and your treatment plan, including how many weeks of treatment you will need. This can be used if you file a worker’s compensation claim or personal injury claim, or if you just need to request time off of work to heal. We can also refer you to a medical specialist or personal injury attorney if needed.
