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

Recuperating from a car accident injury can take years and most people need pain management for the resulting trauma. At Cheyenne Mountain Chiropractic in Colorado Springs, we use specialized chiropractic care to expedite your recovery and manage back pain, whiplash, back strain, and other common car accident injuries.

Examination and Review

Our chiropractor in Colorado Springs, Dr. Hanley, will document your medical history. He will ask questions about the accident and your injuries and then perform an examination to determine the extent of your trauma.

Auto accident injuries often involve the back and neck. We may request an MRI, x-ray, or other scans if there are injuries to the muscle structure. It is crucial to determine your range of mobility so that we can observe how your joints respond to basic movements. We will also assess the state of your nervous system and your muscle strength.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Our chiropractor will discuss the test results with you and highlight any causes of concern. We will take the time to acknowledge your health goals when developing a treatment plan.

Do you want to manage the pain, restore your body's optimal function, or improve your mobility and flexibility? We will personalize our treatment plan to meet your individual needs. Treatment will include spinal adjustments to re-align the spine, minimize muscle tension, and reduce back pain. There will be enough time for an initial adjustment in most cases and our patients report increased mobility after the first session.

Our chiropractor may recommend massage, strengthening exercises, electrical therapy, physical therapy, ice or heat, and soft tissue mobilization for faster recovery. Our therapies will increase your range of motion, reduce pain, promote your overall wellness, and boost your quality of life.
