Seeing a Chiropractor After an Auto Accident Injury

Auto accident injuries are among the most common causes of injuries in the US. It's vital to get the right treatment after an injury in order to experience the fullest recovery possible. At Meek Integrative Health Center, we see auto accident injury patients every day. Here is what you should expect when you come to our Springfield, MO, office for a consultation.

What to Expect at Your First Consultation

When you've been in an accident, the sooner you get treatment, the faster you'll be back to full health. At your first consultation, we'll start by getting all the details about your accident. We'll discuss where you were sitting, where the impact was, and what symptoms you are experiencing. Some of what we'll talk about include what interventions you've tried, how they have worked, and how severe your current symptoms are. Next, we'll perform a physical exam, so we can get a better look at your injuries. We'll test your range of motion, flexibility, and strength. This gives us the information we need for your plan of care.

After learning what we need to, we'll set out a plan for your recovery that will generally occur in three phases. During phase one, our core focus is bringing immediate relief. You'll see us two to three times a week, depending on the severity of your auto accident injuries. In phase two, we focus on restorative care that allows your muscles and other tissues to heal more completely, preventing new injuries in the future. Finally, you'll graduate to our third phase, where we have you in for occasional wellness care to keep you in alignment.
