Chiropractic Care for Auto Accident Injuries

Car accidents are very common occurrences. Being involved in an auto accident can cause both physical and mental trauma. While you may not notice any physical injuries right after the accident, symptoms can appear days or even weeks later. At Duben Holistic Chiropractic Center, serving Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks, CA, we can help. Our chiropractor can diagnose and treat auto accident injuries. We can help eliminate stiffness, pain, whiplash, and inflammation caused by your car accident injuries. Here is what to expect at your first consultation with our chiropractor after a car accident.

Background Information

Our chiropractor will require information about the accident. We will need to know where your car was hit, where you were seated, whether you were wearing your seat belt, as well as if an airbag hit you. This information is critical for developing a treatment plan. Our chiropractor will also inquire about your medical history during your first visit. We need to know what medications you are taking and whether you had any pre-existing medical conditions prior to the accident.

Physical Examination

Our chiropractor will also conduct a physical examination to look at your injuries. We want to find the root cause of your pain. We will ask you to move in a number of ways during the examination so that we can determine what generates the most pain. We'll also put your strength and flexibility to the test. This information is critical for establishing goals and developing an appropriate treatment plan. You might also need an MRI, X-ray, or CT scan done to determine if you have any bone problems or tissue or muscle damage

Treatment Plan

Following the physical examination, our team of experts will create a personalized treatment plan for you. This may include spinal manipulation, which realigns your spine to alleviate back pain and whiplash. We also offer applied kinesiology, spinal decompression, laser therapy, and corrective exercises to help with injuries. You will likely need several treatment sessions to get long-term results.
