What You Should Do After An Accident
The first thing you need to do after getting involved in a motor vehicle accident is to contact your car insurance company immediately. It doesn’t matter whether the accident is your fault or not. If you are injured, you need to seek medical help immediately.
When you come to our Calgary Clinic, you will fill a few forms and undergo an assessment. This will help us provide you with the best and most effective treatments. If the injuries are severe, you will enroll at a rehabilitation center.
What You Should Expect From Us
First things first, we will need to conduct an X-ray to determine whether there are any problems. You will also need to undergo a few examinations.
If you have whiplash, there’s a high chance that you’ll develop a Whiplash Associated Disorder (WAD). Common symptoms of whiplash include:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches
- Lower back pain
- Concussion
- Muscle strain
- Inability to move
- Memory problems
Make sure to look out for all of these symptoms. Cooperating and being open about your injury with your chiropractor can help you get the best treatment. Getting early treatment can help reduce the risks of chronic pain and other problems.
