Whether you were in a minor or severe auto accident, it's essential to seek treatment immediately. Some auto injuries may not exhibit symptoms until days, weeks, and even months after the impact. Luckily, our chiropractor can diagnose and treat your injury early on before serious symptoms set in. If you are in the Chicago area, don't hesitate to book an appointment at Ries Wellness after a car accident. Our experienced chiropractic team will help you get back to living a healthy and pain-free life by creating a treatment plan that's customized for your unique health needs.

What Are the Most Common Auto Accident Injuries?

Head injuries are a common injury seen after auto accidents. The impact can leave individuals with chronic headaches, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, jaw pain, and other issues. Soft tissue injuries are also common, with serious bruising of the legs, arms, shoulders, or hips. Back sprains and whiplash are also common in car crashes.

Can Auto Accident Injuries Be Delayed?

Individuals in a car accident may feel fine right after the event, but later, they may develop pain and problems with their range of motion due to these injuries. It's important to be checked by our chiropractor after an accident to prevent pain and problems with function related to car accident injuries.

How Does Chiropractic Care Help Auto Accident Injuries?

Chiropractic care may use a wide range of techniques to help individuals with auto accident injuries. Our chiropractor will design a care plan for your unique needs. Manual adjustment may be used to re-align spinal structures to improve body function. Physical therapy and corrective exercise help patients regain muscle strength after an injury. Massage therapy increases circulation to injured areas of the body and enhances the body's natural healing process. Cold laser is often used to relieve pain from auto accident injuries.

Is Chiropractic Treatment For Auto Accident Injuries Covered by Insurance?

Depending on the type of injury you sustained, your insurance may reimburse you for the chiropractic treatment you receive after an accident. Health insurance may also be used to pay for your treatment. If neither is available, we can create a payment plan, so you can receive the treatment you need.
