Should You See a Physician or Bellevue Chiropractor after a Car Accident?

At Chiropractic of Bellevue, I see many patients who were injured in an auto accident. If you were recently in a car crash and you feel sore, I invite you to come see us. Let me tell you why to visit our Bellevue car accident doctor instead of a medical doctor. 

Which Doctor to See After an Auto Accident? 

Who you should see after an auto accident depends on the severity of your pain. If you are bleeding or suspect something is broken, we encourage you to visit the emergency room for immediate treatment. 

If you hit your head, it is always a good idea to make sure you don't have a concussion. A Bellevue car accident doctor can check for signs of concussion as well as other delayed-onset auto injury issues, like whiplash. This isn't something you need to visit the ER for. 

Medical doctors know your history, and you may have a relationship with your primary care physician. Yet, most medical doctors do not specialize in anatomy, physiology, and the musculoskeletal system, as we chiropractors do. If you think you broke or fractured a bone, an orthopedic doctor can set the bone and prescribe medication. For all other auto injuries, come and schedule an appointment at our Bellevue car accident chiropractic clinic.

Here's what you can expect when you come to our Bellevue chiropractor's office: 

• Pain relief - We provide natural pain relief. We won't give you medication, but we will soothe your nervous system, reduce inflammation, and decrease musculoskeletal pain. 
• Greater mobility - Tense muscles cause stiffness and limit your range of motion. As we restore your body's natural alignment, we will unlock muscle tension so you can move your limbs, back, and neck freely. 
• Rehabilitation - Our goal is to treat your whole person, not just your neck pain after the auto accident. We will provide you with stretches and strengthening exercises, which you can perform at home. By completing our rehabilitation exercises, you can strengthen your body and leave our care feeling better than you have in years! 
• Personalized attention - Our chiropractor takes time to listen to you, talk with you about your symptoms, and improve your overall health. Many patients enjoy the greater amount of personalized attention they receive. 

Don't delay -- seeking treatment after an auto accident can help you recover faster. To schedule a car accident checkup, call us at (425) 802-5432. If you are a new patient of ours, your first visit is just $39!
