You may feel fine after being in an auto accident, but it could just be the effects of adrenaline masking signs of injury. Some auto accident injuries, like whiplash, don’t exhibit signs or symptoms until days or weeks after the initial accident. Visiting our chiropractor for auto injury treatment in DeLand right after being in an auto accident can help you prevent long-term health problems and reduce your risk of re-injury. 

Identify Hidden Auto Accident Injuries

Our chiropractor can quickly identify hidden auto accident injuries like whiplash, muscle strain, sprains, and hairline fractures. These injuries are easily missed by busy hospital emergency centers who have less time to spend with each patient. 

Prevent Re-Injury and Chronic Health Issues

Early detection and treatment of auto accident injuries can prevent them from becoming chronic or recurrent. You can also reduce your risk of re-injury by ensuring you get the diagnosis and treatment you need immediately so that your injury heals quickly and completely.

Get Swift Treatment and Continuing Care

Rather than waiting in a busy hospital emergency room or hoping your primary care physician can fit you in, you can visit our chiropractor for a same-day appointment. Our chiropractor has access to onsite diagnostic tools, like X Rays, MRIs, lab testing, and other techniques that allow him to quickly diagnose injuries and uncover the root cause of your pain or discomfort. Our chiropractor can also provide continuing care to assist you throughout your recovery journey.

Obtain Documentation of Your Injury and Treatment Plan

Our chiropractor can provide you with the formal documentation you need to support your injury and treatment plan. This documentation can be used to file an auto insurance, worker’s compensation, or personal injury claim.
