Why You Should Seek Care After an Auto Accident
Many people dismiss their symptoms after an accident, thinking they’ll go away on their own. However, untreated injuries can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and long-term health issues. Early chiropractic intervention can:
- Reduce inflammation and pain
- Improve mobility and range of motion
- Prevent scar tissue formation
- Address hidden injuries that may worsen over time
How We Evaluate Auto Accident Injuries
At Vivify Chiropractic, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation that includes:
- Detailed medical history and accident review
- Physical examination to assess range of motion, muscle strength, and neurological function
- Digital X-rays (if necessary) to identify structural issues or hidden injuries
