The Highland Chiropractic team in Louisville is here to help accident victims navigate through that period of uncertainty, getting you back to pre-accident health as soon as possible.

What to Expect from Your Initial Visit

In the initial meeting, you will answer a number of questions. Details regarding the accident, pain and symptoms, and timeline of occurrences will be discussed, at length. The chiropractor will examine you, order X-rays when needed, and evaluate your injuries, ultimately coming up with a treatment plan based on his findings. While there are a number of common injuries associated with auto accidents, each patient’s situation is unique and requires an individualized treatment strategy. 

The Most Common Auto Accident Injuries

The sudden force our bodies are met within an auto accident can wreak havoc for years to come. Neck and back pain, or a combination of both, are the most common injuries treated. Whether jolted from the side or front to back, ligaments and neck muscles are often stretched and/or torn in the trauma. 

But these injuries are not limited to the back and neck. Soft tissue injuries and strains are also prevalent in other parts of the body, such as the abdominal area, arms, and legs. Limited range of motion and pain often turns into a chronic condition if left untreated. Fortunately, with the right treatment plan and the use of the latest in chiropractic techniques, most injuries are treatable, restoring victims back to pre-accident health.
