Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Be Examined After a Car Accident

1. You may be injured and not realize it.
2. Injuries such as whiplash usually may not show any symptoms for hours, days or weeks later.
3. Research shows that people who seek treatment in the first 72 hours after an accident respond quicker and need less treatment than those who do not consult and medical professional until later.
4. The majority of injuries from car accidents occur at speeds of 6-12 MPH. Your car might not show much damage, but your body might.
5. An injury to muscles, ligaments and fascia can become permanent, as scar tissue can form leaving those structures less flexible and prone to re-injury in the future if you don't receive treatment.
6. If you act quickly you preserve your legal rights. Get prompt medical treatment; otherwise you may get benefits denied or limited.
7. In most cases treatment can cost you nothing out of pocket, even if it is your fault or you don't have any health insurance.
8. If you are not injured, you can relax knowing that you had an extensive exam conducted by a knowledgeable professional who confirmed that everything was fine.
9. Statistics show the longer you wait for treatment after you are injured, the longer it takes to heal and requires more treatments.
10. If you are injured in a car accident, your injuries will usually not heal on their own.

Helpful Information that you need to know about car accident injuries:

The amount of physical damage to your car doesn't always reflect the stress and injury to your body. Injuries to muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia have occurred in car accidents at speeds less than 12MPH.

The majority of auto accident injuries affect soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments) which do not show up on x-rays. Soreness and muscle pain from whiplash can signal a soft-tissue injury that may not be able to heal on its own, and neck and back pain commonly doesn't surface until hours or days after the car accident.

A traditional approach isn't always the best. Painkillers, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants and other prescription drugs often only mask the condition and make daily functioning difficult.

Your auto insurance personal injury protection can pay 100 percent for medical Chiropractic care, massage therapy and other treatments, with no deductible.

You can choose where you go for therapy and you do not need a referral from your insurance company. Our team at River Oaks Chiropractic and Wellness Centre will help you file the paperwork.

Upon assessment of your condition, a specialist will complete an initial report outlining his/her clinical findings, along with a treatment plan indicating types and length of treatment recommended.

The aim of the treatments are to return you to your previous level of function. Treatments focus on active strengthening, stretching, conditioning, and pain-relieving modalities as needed.
