Your First Consultation After an Auto Accident Injury: What to Expect

Being involved in an auto accident can be traumatic, both mentally and physically. If you have suffered an auto accident injury, the professionals at Carolina Chiropractic Wellness Group can help. Chiropractic care will help relieve your pain, stiffness, and inflammation caused by your auto accident injury.

Medical History

During your first visit, we will need to take a medical history. We need to know what types of medication you are on and if you had any pre-existing conditions before the accident.

Accident Details

Your chiropractor will need to know the details of the accident. We will need to know where the car you were in was hit, where you were sitting, if you were wearing your seat belt, and if you were struck by an airbag. This information is essential in creating a treatment plan.

Physical Exam

To determine the extent of your injuries, our chiropractor will perform a physical exam. During the exam, you will be asked to move in a variety of ways so that we can see what causes the most pain. We will also test your strength and range of motion. This information is essential in setting goals and creating an effective treatment plan.

Image Testing

If you don't arrive at our office with a copy of your x-ray, MRI, or CT scan, our chiropractor might order some testing. We will need to check for broken bones or muscle and tissue damage.

Goals and Treatment Plans

After the physical exam, we will discuss your treatment, and the short-term and long-term goals that we will work toward.
