What To Do Following A Car Accident In Bellevue, WA

In the hours and days after a car accident, it might not be clear how one should proceed. Following the right steps can help ensure quick treatment for your injuries and that your time and money is compensated. Contacting the proper authorities and companies, working with skilled, licensed medical professionals and going easy on your body are all important steps. At Chiropractic of Bellevue, I can help car accident victims get the treatment they need to make a full recovery.

Seek Medical Treatment

Immediately after your car accident occurs, you may not feel injured. Whiplash and musculoskeletal injuries can take days or even weeks for symptoms to manifest. Without seeing a chiropractor soon after your accident occurs, your injury could worsen.

Some of the common symptoms of car accident injury include:

• Muscle stiffness
• Limited range of motion
• Dizziness
• Difficulty focusing
• Headaches
• Blurred vision

As a leading chiropractor in Bellevue, I encourage you to be on the lookout for these symptoms. We can diagnose your whiplash and administer treatments that can put you on the path to wellness. At Chiropractic of Bellevue, we treat whiplash with the following methods:

• Spinal adjustment. Our spinal adjustments help put the vertebrae back in alignment, which helps to relieve your pain and improves the functioning of the central nervous system.
• Stretches and exercises. We'll teach you to perform stretches and exercises that help you during recovery.
• Massage therapy. Our massage therapy techniques help loosen your tight, injured muscles and speed the healing process.

Contact Insurance Company and Lawyers

You'll need to start working with your insurance company and lawyer if you plan to seek compensation for your injuries. This means you'll want to have your paperwork in order. We'll help you at this time by providing written information about your condition and treatment.

Continue Stretches and Exercises for Healing

The stretches and exercises that we'll prescribe are an important part of the healing process. Work on your therapy at home when you have time. This will help make your treatments at Chiropractic of Bellevue more effective and will also strengthen your injured muscles, so you'll be better able to live your ordinary life during your recovery.
