What to Expect

If you're looking for a chiropractor after an auto accident, you should consider specialized and effective care at Westmoreland Chiropractic & Rehab Associates in Export and Greensburg. Our chiropractors have the knowledge and experience to help our patients fully recover from auto accidents and prevent pain from reoccurring by using various natural and non-invasive techniques. Here is what you should expect during your first consultation after an auto accident and how we can help.

General Inquiry

After our chiropractors get to know your general concerns, we will assess your medical history and ask questions about the type and severity of pain you're experiencing. Plus, we will ask you for details about the accident. Was it a rear-end accident? Or perhaps it was a head-on? Understanding the nature of the car accidents helps establish the kind of injuries you might have suffered.

Diagnosis

Our chiropractors examine you physically to determine the areas of discomfort. Here, our chiropractor might ask you to move, sit, and stand in different directions to establish the exact location of the injury. Our chiropractors may also request x-rays, CT scans, or MRI for a thorough assessment of the type and the severity of your injury.

Treatment

After a proper diagnosis, our chiropractors can devise a personalized treatment plan. Most auto accident injuries occur around the head, neck, shoulder, back, and leg. Depending on the location of the injury, we may use one or a combination of treatment options, including:

• Chiropractic adjustments: We align your spinal muscles to lift pressure off the surrounding nerves and support blood flow to the affected area. This triggers the body's self-healing mechanism, reducing pain.
• Physical therapy: Manual therapies help reduce pain, increase mobility, and promote high-level functionality even after an injury.
• Graston technique: We use a special instrument to break down scarred tissue and restrictions in your soft tissue. This treatment helps relieve neck pain, back pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
• Nutritional counseling: We advise you on a diet that reduces inflammation and promotes faster healing.
