After an auto accident, you may be in shock, and your body may not feel pain. Seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you don't feel pain. An auto accident injury, such as whiplash, may not become apparent until days or weeks after the accident. A consultation with a chiropractor is an essential step in recovery.

Newton Chiropractic & Wellness Centre is here to help you recover and return to your everyday life. Here is what you should expect during your initial consultation when you come to our offices in Boston, Newton, Needham, Wellesley, Natick, Brookline, Watertown, West Roxbury, Roslindale, Waltham, Weston, and Wayland, MA.

Symptoms and Medical History

During your consultation, we will discuss your symptoms and medical history. We will also ask how the accident happened and what pain you are experiencing. It is essential to describe your symptoms. This information will help us determine the best course of treatment for you. In addition, we will ask you about your medications and allergies. This information will help us avoid potential medication interactions and therapy interactions.

Physical Examination

After gathering the necessary information, we will perform a physical examination. This exam will help us identify structures injured. We will feel tenderness, check your range, and look for signs of personal injury. We may also order additional tests, such as X-rays or MRIs.

These tests can give us a more detailed look at the structures injured in the accident. A personal injury or auto accident, such as whiplash, can cause damage even if there are no visible signs of injury. That is why it's integral to undergo these tests so that we can create a customized treatment plan for you.

Formulate a Treatment Plan

We will develop a treatment plan specifically for you based on the information we gathered and your examination results. This plan may include chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, massage therapy, and other forms of treatment. We will discuss your options with you and answer any questions you may have. We aim to help you get back to your life as quickly and safely as possible.

Follow-Up Appointments

After your first visit, we will schedule follow-up appointments for you. These appointments are necessary because they allow us to monitor your progress and change your treatment plan. In addition, we want to ensure that you get the care you need and are on the road to recovery.
