What injuries can develop after an auto accident?
Back pain, whiplash, neck stiffness, and soft tissue injuries can develop after an auto accident. Symptoms may also include headaches, sciatica, shoulder discomfort, or reduced movement. Advanced Injury Care Clinic reviews these concerns through a health history and exam. Severe or sudden symptoms need prompt medical evaluation before non-invasive care.
What does the care team look at first after a crash?
The first review covers the collision details, symptom onset, movement limits, and health history. We also check tender areas, joint motion, muscle tension, and related symptoms. These findings help us discuss whether adjustments, exercise, massage therapy, or another evaluation fits your condition.
What should be checked before treatment is scheduled?
A health history and clinical exam should be checked before treatment is scheduled. The review should include current symptoms, past injuries, medicines, medical records, and any warning signs. Our team uses that information to discuss suitable care and identify concerns that need medical attention first.
Who is a good fit for this type of injury care?
People with collision-related muscle, joint, spine, or soft tissue symptoms may fit this type of care. The exam decides whether non-invasive treatment is suitable. Severe symptoms, major weakness, or signs of a serious medical problem need medical evaluation instead of starting with routine chiropractic care.
Which treatments might be included in a care plan?
A care plan may include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, physical therapy, massage therapy, or therapeutic exercises. The selected options follow the exam and your recovery needs. Our team explains the purpose of each treatment before adding it to the plan.
How do I prepare for a first appointment in Franklin?
Bring accident details, medical records, imaging reports, and a list of current medicines when available. Note when symptoms began and which activities change them. A consultation gives our team time to review those details, examine movement, and discuss treatment choices.
Why can neck stiffness continue after the crash?
Neck stiffness can continue when impact strains muscles, joints, ligaments, or nearby soft tissue. Symptoms may also change with posture and movement during daily tasks. We assess the neck and related areas, then discuss care that matches the clinical findings.
