Even if you feel fine after a car accident, you may still be feeling the effects of adrenaline in your system, which could be masking signs or symptoms of injury. This is why it’s so important to visit one of the chiropractors here at Preferred Medical and Rehab right away for diagnosis of injuries and swift auto injury treatment. If you’ve recently been in a car accident and have been Googling “chiropractor near me in Anchorage,” find out what you should do after a car accident. 

Visit One of Our Chiropractors for Swift Diagnosis and Treatment

Instead of waiting for hours in a hospital emergency room or hoping that your primary care physician can fit you in, you should visit one of the chiropractors here at Preferred Medical and Rehab immediately after an auto accident. Our chiropractors can offer same-day evaluation and diagnosis of auto injuries using their onsite diagnostic tools like x-rays, MRI, and CT scan. In just one visit, one of our chiropractors can determine if you have any underlying injuries, and design a customized, non-invasive treatment plan that doesn’t rely on surgery or prescription medications. 

Obtain Documentation of Your Injuries and Treatment

You only have a certain amount of time to file an auto insurance claim, personal injury claim, or worker’s compensation claim after being injured in an auto accident. In order to file a claim, you need documentation of the accident, your injuries, and the cost, type, and length of your treatment. One of our chiropractors can provide official documentation of your injuries as well as a copy of your treatment plan, which shows the estimated number of treatments you’ll need in order to be rehabilitated and return to your normal daily routine. 

Obtain Continuing Care

In addition to obtaining diagnosis and treatment the day of your auto accident, you also need to receive continuing care. Continuing care will ensure you don’t have permanent disability or chronic pain due to your injuries. One of our chiropractors can provide same-day immediate care right after you’ve been injured, and can also offer regular, routine treatments and care on an ongoing basis. This might include massage therapy, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, pain management, and advice and education on lifestyle changes and modifications to support your recovery.
