I wasn't traveling fast when my auto accident occurred. Why do I need to get checked?
Your body can still sustain trauma in a low-speed accident such as a fender bender. Very often your spine is injured along with all the soft tissue around it. So it’s essential to get checked.
Even if you’re slightly achy after an auto accident your body will heal up how it’s going to heal up-which may be in an improper position. Whether you’re involved in an auto accident or any accident, it’s important to get aligned as your body is healing and laying down scar tissue, because it’s going to heal in a more proper position.
Yes, in addition to chiropractic, we often recommend physical therapy and massage therapy to provide comprehensive care. If you are experiencing any neurological symptoms that aren’t responding to our care, Dr. Beth will refer you to a neurologist or an orthopedic doctor.
Yes, in Massachusetts, if you get into an auto accident, your personal car insurance pays for it, whether or not you were at fault.
Though every patient is different, typically it will take 2-3 months of regular chiropractic care. Dr. Beth’s job is to get patients to pre-accident status as much as possible. She wants to get them to the point where they’re plateauing and then Dr. Beth will release them.
