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

While most people drive safely, accidents still happen. If you have been in an auto accident, the chances are that you suffered auto injuries like whiplash, neck pain, back pain, or broken bones. Even if the auto accident was minor, it's still essential to see Dr. Eulo for a proper assessment. After an accident, some injuries don't exhibit symptoms immediately. However, chiropractic care is pivotal in treating auto injuries, including hidden injuries.

What Happens During Your First Consultation After an Auto Accident

Accident injury pain may not surface immediately. During a car accident, your body jolts back and forth. Whiplash, shoulder and back pain, discomfort, and limited range of motion are all possible symptoms of an auto accident injury. Dr. Eulo will evaluate you for misalignment and joint damage at your first consultation. Here is what to expect on your first visit:

• Accident details: Dr. Eulo will require details of the accident. It would be best if you remembered everything you can. For example, where and when the accident happened, were you wearing your seatbelt, and how it happened. These details are essential as they will help Dr. Eulo establish possible injuries.
• Medical history: Medical history is a significant step for every hospital visit. All your information on whether you have an existing condition or taking any medication is vital for a proper treatment plan.
• Examination: This is also a very significant step, where our chiropractor will perform a physical exam. You will be requested to move in different ways to ascertain what kind or where there is pain or restricted mobility. In addition to this physical exam, Dr. Eulo will conduct an orthopedic/neurological exam.
• Image testing: Dr. Eulo may need an MRI, X-rays, or CT scan to check for injuries in the muscles, bones, and joints.
• Treatment plan: Our chiropractor will then discuss the treatment plans that will work best for you. Depending on your injury, Dr. Eulo will recommend specialized treatment plan to help you get out of pain as quick as possible.
