Why Is It Important To See A Chiropractor After A Car Accident In Midtown Atlanta?

A car accident, and accident injuries especially, is the last thing anyone needs.

There's no way to anticipate being involved in a motor vehicle accident when driving around Midtown Atlanta, but it's an all too familiar scenario that happens to too many drivers.

Even if you feel fine after your auto accident, you may have sustained injuries like whiplash that could take hours, days, or even weeks after your crash to show symptoms.

Fortunately, a Midtown Atlanta car accident chiropractor is excellent at addressing the pain and discomfort associated with car accidents.

In the article below, we will discuss why it's important to see a chiropractor after a car accident in Midtown Atlanta.

Chiropractic Care Can Deliver Instant Relief

There's a good chance that as soon as the adrenaline wears off after your accident, you will start feeling aches and pains, stiffness, and neck pain, and back pain.

Even fender benders and minor accidents can put a lot of pressure and strain on your body.

Many accident victims will begin to feel the aches and pains right away, if not the morning after the accident.

Scheduling an appointment with your local Midtown Atlanta chiropractor can help you get out of your immediate pain and start your road to recovery right away.

With regular chiropractic adjustments, ice, heat, and other treatments, you can start rebuilding your health and feeling like yourself again after your accident.

Finding Hidden Injuries

It's important to get checked out by a knowledgeable and trusted chiropractor that knows a lot about car accident injuries.

And if someone else's negligence caused your accident, their insurance company should cover the bill.

Many of these car wreck injuries are hidden at first, so you should be sure that you get taken care of before you develop long-term health issues.

Your first chiropractic appointment may include a physical exam to check for structural damage, tissue damage, numbness, neurological effects, muscle damage, nerve malfunction, and joint issues.

This allows your chiropractor to design an ongoing treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.

Your first trip to the chiropractor will likely include an adjustment to get you on the path to recovery.

No Medications or Adverse Side Effects

Chiropractic means "done by the hand."

Chiropractic care is a manual therapy that doesn't require harmful medications or invasive surgeries.

Painkillers can temporarily relieve some symptoms of whiplash or other accident injuries, but all they do is mask the symptoms without treating their underlying cause.

Chiropractic care, however, is the first step in addressing your actual issues instead of just masking your pain.

Many medications also come with adverse side effects.

Anything from an upset stomach to addiction can result after using certain medications after an accident.

Chiropractic care eliminates the possibility of these side effects if you're experiencing pain or discomfort after your accident.

And instead of surgery, chiropractic professionals use adjustments and manipulations to realign joints following an automobile accident. 

Accident victims shouldn't go under the knife for back or neck pain without consulting a qualified chiropractor in Midtown Atlanta.

Unlike many doctor visits which can be uncomfortable, especially if you're dealing with pain after an accident, a visit to your chiropractor is usually an enjoyable experience with immediate benefits.

Prevent Long-term Injuries

Immediate treatment after a car accident is essential if you want to prevent any long-term, chronic injuries from developing.

Let's use whiplash as an example.

If your whiplash (or other soft tissue injuries) isn't treated right away, it can leave your neck feeling weak and sore.

It can also cause inflammation in the soft tissues and adversely impact your range of motion.

Depending on how severe your whiplash is, it can even cause chronic pain or damage to the tissue.

A whiplash injury can also leave you with chronic headaches and migraines.

Your head and neck don't have much protection during a car crash from the seatbelt and airbags, and they can easily be jerked back and forth.

This causes discomfort, headaches, and migraines that may persist for years without proper treatment.

Fortunately, a chiropractor can help diagnose and immediately start treating these injuries after your accident.

Deliver Peace of Mind

Some people are lucky enough to be involved in major car accidents and walk away without any major injuries.

Other people can get in fender benders that change their life.

This is why it's important to get checked out by a chiropractor and get necessary medical care no matter how insignificant your collision seemed.

Visiting your Midtown Atlanta chiropractor and receiving the medical attention you need can help you get that much-needed peace of mind.

Visit your chiropractor right away for an exam and x-rays to diagnose common injuries, so you can be sure you are fully aware of the extent of your injuries.

Dr. James Toney

Dr. Toney is Arrowhead Clinic’s Midtown Atlanta Chiropractor who specializes in helping accident victims and patients who suffer from chronic pain conditions, such as chronic back and neck pain. Dr. Toney didn't grow up wanting to become a chiropractor. After a financial hardship hit his family before starting his freshman year of college, Dr. Toney turned to exercise as an outlet. He would run three to five miles three to four times a week to cleanse his mind and body of all the afflictions he was experiencing. When he found out his college tuition fees included the benefit of the Recreational Activity Center, he decided to put the opportunity to good use. The rest is history. Dr. Toney soon discovered his love for weightlifting and started to see results immediately. Gaining 20 lbs of muscle the first three months of lifting fueled his development into becoming a bodybuilder. Through bodybuilding, Dr. Toney was able to improve his appearance while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. After 18 months of bodybuilding, Dr. Toney suffered every athlete's worst nightmare, an injury. This wasn't just any injury, but a back injury, due to improper form on a cable machine workout. At the time, Dr. Toney had no health insurance and couldn't afford to see a medical doctor. He did some research and stumbled upon chiropractic treatment. During his first exam, Dr. Toney was given an X-ray and an adjustment. He was back in the gym in less than a week. That's when he discovered his newly found love for Chiropractic. Dr. Toney graduated from Georgia Southern University with a BA in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Business Management. He then finished up his education at Life University, where he received a Masters in Exercise Science/Sports Chiropractic with an emphasis in Sports Injury, and a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine. One of Dr. Toney’s accident patients recently left a review stating, “I was involved in an accident and was referred to Arrowhead Clinic by a friend. Upon walking in the clinic, I was greeted with a smile and superior professionalism. Dr. Toney was thorough, making my recovery extremely successful. If you are looking for a chiropractic clinic, call to schedule your appointment.” Dr. Toney provides all potential patients with a free, same-day consultation. He takes the time to listen, discuss, diagnose, and treat a person’s injury or condition all during the same appointment. Dr. Toney is available for appointments Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. "You never know where life is going to take you, so enjoy the journey." -Dr. James E. Toney Jr., DC
