Being in a car accident can be a terrifying experience, while there is plenty written about how to take pictures and call your insurance company, however, there is often very little information about what to do the day after an accident. If you've recently been in an accident, follow these steps to recover from your auto accident injury. We at Crystal Springs Chiropractic in San Mateo, CA, know a lot about how to help a potential auto accident injury.

Chiropractic Care and Your Auto Accident Injury

1. Know what your insurance covers: This will greatly affect the type of care you receive. In many cases, it is possible to negotiate on this. Specifically, work to get your chiropractic care covered. Chiropractic care may lead to better health outcomes for accident victims, and it may lead to fewer hospital bills in the future.

2. Get evaluated: Even if you do not have serious injuries from the accident, it's a good idea to be looked at by a medical professional. There may be long-term damage that you don't know about. This evaluation can be done by a traditional medical provider or a chiropractor.

3. Schedule your first chiropractic session: Chiropractic care may help with your recovery from an auto accident. A chiropractor at our clinic will be able to evaluate what's wrong, and then develop a plan with you to help alleviate pain and improve your health. Most recovery will take multiple sessions, so be prepared to rearrange your schedule a little.

Throughout your treatment, you should keep our chiropractors informed of any changes to your health, as well as any changes to your medical history. Be sure to tell our chiropractor about any changes in medication or any other surgeries you undergo.
