Car Accident Recovery: How Oakland Chiropractor Can Help

Chiropractors who work with people injured in a car accident understand many variables needed to manage this type of client including specific adjusting, home and exercise recommendations. They also understand proper documentation for treatment and making referrals to help you get the most support during this vulnerable time.

The Shift Chiropractor has experience and understanding of how to support you if you have been in a car accident. We have supported many people to heal from whiplash, traumatic brain injury, concussions and various sprains and disc injuries.  These common injuries worsen over time if not addressed relatively quickly. Some people experience new symptoms from the accident even 3 weeks or more after. People may not seek additional care after a car accident because X-rays often do not reveal any broken bones and medical providers prescribe medication and rest. Rarely, a medical doctor will refer the patient to a chiropractor, perhaps because it is not part of their protocol or approved referrals.

Chiropractic has shown to be effective for healing and recovering after a car accident injury. The good news is that you do not need a referral to see a chiropractor. You can reach out to a provider of your choice and discuss your options with them. Not all chiropractors work with car accident injuries for several reasons – an often long period of waiting time to get reimbursed by the insurance company or attorney’s office, and the stress of getting involved in a legal case. Our Oakland chiropractic clinic accepts personal injury liens.  At the Shift, we typically manage clients who have been in car accidents between 6 weeks and 6 months on average.  This length of time allows a chiropractor to assess how a person responds to a treatment, and to see what is improving with care and what is not. It takes up to 2 years for some soft tissue injuries to finish fully healing. For regions that are not improving within a certain time frame, we can order an MRI to assess the extent of an injury to make a proper referral or modify our treatment plan. Choose your provider wisely since you may be seeing them 2-3 times a week for a few months.  If you want to learn if the Shift Chiropractic is the right place for you, please Contact Us for a consultation today!
