What to do after a car accident

It is very important that you take inventory of a few things
before leaving the scene of any accident.

Make sure everyone is okay

If immediate care is needed dial 9-1-1. If injuries are non-life-threatening, then exchange information with the drivers involved in the accident. Use your phone or a camera to take pictures of the damage to cars, damage to the road or road structures (including skid marks, broken pieces of the cars) and take pictures of any bruising or cuts on you or the other people involved in the accident. Also take pictures of the license plates, and anyone else on scene. Be sure to record names, phone numbers, addresses of all witnesses and the people involved in the accident.

Schedule an appointment with a doctor

This can be your Primary Care Physician or a Chiropractic Physician. Even if you don’t feel like there is much pain, you should still be seen to make sure there are no underlying injuries and to document your condition. You can schedule an appointment with a Chiropractor up to a few months after the initial accident, although the longer you wait to get treated the more complicated the case usually is in regards to both your injuries and insurance covering treatment.


Take responsibility: You know your body better than anyone else. If you don’t feel right, but your medical doctor says, “You’re fine, it will get better with time and drugs,” then get a second opinion. Many times medical doctors utilize prescription drugs or physical therapy, but this doesn’t treat the underlying cause if your bones and joints and out of alignment and your body movement is compensating. Our treatment involves the natural healing approach, so you can have long-lasting relief. Most injuries don’t heal properly without professional medical help.

Be Proactive

Always be careful when talking to insurance adjusters; although many are good at their job and want to help, it is not uncommon for some of them to be misleading. Yes, they are friendly, but remember their job is ultimately to get the insurance company to pay as little it can. Usually it is best to let your doctor or lawyer do the communicating with the claims adjuster, as it is not uncommon for people to misspeak, which can significant affect the claim. 

Watch what you post

Most attorneys recommend stopping all social media until the case is settled. Things you put out to the public can be used against you in regards to how the accident has affected you; it is the easiest way for insurance companies to hurt your claim. 


Example: a driver boasts on Facebook about “being fine” after an accident, however pain doesn’t begin until a week later. This person also deletes the post about “being fine.” Insurance can deny treatment because the person “wasn’t hurt from the accident” and the deleting of the post may be considered by court to be “spoliation” (deliberately destroying of evidence related to the case).

Type of Injuries that may come up

We have plenty of history specializing in an auto injury care.  Our team have treated a large amount of patients who are suffering from pain from fender benders. From the mild hit-from-behind to the multiple car collision on the highway, each person is affected differently with a car accident injury and severity can vary from person to person.

The majority of the auto injury complaints we treat are whiplash, neck pain, back pain, sprain, and strain injuries. Chiropractic and Massage are the best treatment methods for these injuries; we specialize in treatment of these injuries and we do it every day. This is the most effective treatment for quickly getting rid of pain and keeping it away long-term.

A car crash can cause most any type of body injury, to virtually any part of your body, depending on the circumstances of the crash and the severity of the impact. It is amazing how many patients don’t feel much pain from car accident crashes after the initial injury, but then 1 to 2 weeks later they begin to experience complaints. This classic type of car accident injury pain comes from the gradual worsening of inflammation from the initial trauma, and the body beginning to compensate in its movement patterns from the accident. This delayed pain from the auto injury also comes from the gradual decrease in endorphins and other hormones the body releases after an accident, which work to quiet the pain that would normally be experienced after a whiplash event.

What is it really?

 This large, long nerve in the human body emerges from the spine out of the low back region. Running through the glute muscles, it is the longest nerve as it travels down to your lower leg.  Its primary function is to maintain the muscles within that area.

Make it stop!

Numbness and tingling at shoulders, back, arms, and legs is a very common result of an auto accident.  Your licensed chiropractor will perform gentle adjustments, along with electrode therapies and massage to support your compressed nerves and tight muscles back to health. 

How common is this really?

The true description of "whiplash" is known as neck sprain or neck strain.  This occurs when a sudden force stretches and tears the muscles and tendons in your neck.  This is very common and equally serious.  Many will experience soreness and stiffness at the nech, completely unaware as to how severe their injuries really are. 

It's just swelling...right?

Our chiropractic and massage care provides gentle and safe options for these types of injuries.  Swelling around the effected area is common, but not always the end of it.  Strains to the muscle can cause related numbness, headache, and life long pains.  Don't suffer in silence!
