Your First Consultation After an Auto Accident Injury: What To Expect at Atlantic Chiropractic Clinic in Portsmouth
If you were involved in a vehicular accident, and you had an auto accident injury occur as a result of the event, finding relief from pain is necessary so you can return to your normal daily tasks. Contact Atlantic Chiropractic Center in Portsmouth for proper, effective treatment. Here is some information about what you can expect at your first consultation with our chiropractor.
Discussion Of Your Health And Auto Injury
Our chiropractor will sit down with you to discuss your overall health and whether you suffer from any other medical conditions that may have conflicts with your current auto accident injury. This information is useful to help in determining which types of treatment would best work at relieving your pain. If you have documentation available from your family physician or a hospital you had been admitted to, bring this along to give to our practitioner.
Evaluation Of Where Your Pain Is Located
After your medical history is discussed, our chiropractor will conduct an evaluation of the injured part of your body. This is done by asking you to perform simple activities while our chiropractor observes your body's reactions. Your mobility will most likely be restricted, and it is best to refrain from pushing your body too hard to achieve a task given. Alert our chiropractor about any pain you feel so they can determine your range of motion.
Treatment Administration
After your evaluation, our chiropractor will start treatment if your condition is favorable enough to do so right away. This usually involves the application of an ice pack or heating pad to an affected area to reduce inflammation and pain, the administration of light massage to relieve muscle pain, or the use of body adjustment tactics to relieve stress on affected joints.
