Auto Accident Chiropractic at Great South Bay Chiropractic
When you’ve been involved in an auto accident—even a relatively minor fender bender—you can sustain a whiplash injury, which is a hyperextension injury that stretches the ligaments of the spine and causes the spine to take a long time to heal.
Typically, people don’t realize how much damage has been done and think they don’t need to get checked out. But the longer the spine is out of alignment, the more it irritates the body, and the body responds to it with an inflammatory process that doesn’t go away on its own.
That’s why it’s important to get seen by a chiropractor as soon as possible after a car accident, so we can identify and correct the underlying problems and allow your body to heal properly.
At Great South Bay Chiropractic, we have 40 years of experience helping patients injured in car accidents get the care they deserve.
Our Approach
We work with your insurance company and attorney to document your case fully and provide all the information necessary to ensure you get the care you need to feel better. We’ll refer you out for an MRI or X-rays, as needed. We will conduct nerve testing in our office, including electromyography and nerve conduction velocity, to locate any nerve damage and determine if it’s coming from the spine or the extremities.
This will let us know the full extent of your injuries so that your attorney has all the necessary documentation.
Based on your specific situation, we will design a care plan to address the underlying misalignments and soft tissue damage.
We will also refer you out for any other care you may need. We’re located in a larger medical office and have physical therapists, orthopedists, and pain management providers with whom we can refer or co-manage care. Our goal is to ensure you get all the care you need, not just the care we can provide!
