It is a scary thing to worry about who to see when you have been injured in a car accident.  If you go to the hospital, they will x-ray you (maybe) give you some drugs and send you on your way.  If you see your primary care doctor, he or she will examine you, give you some drugs and send you on your way.  The challenge is that drugs don’t fix the problem

When you have ligaments that have been stretched and muscles that have been torn from the trauma of the car accident, medications may make you feel better but the ligaments will still be stretched and the muscles torn.  Pills don’t fix those things.  Rehabilitation of the muscles and ligaments is necessary. And more than exercise, the spine and joints that those muscles and ligaments attach to have to be addressed as well.

I think the best person to see after a car accident is a Chiropractor.  We can x-ray you to see if bone are broken, we can adjust the spine to make sure the joints are aligned properly and we can give you rehabilitation exercises to strengthen and stablize the ligaments and muscles.  All under one roof.  If you have been in an accident please contact us at 860-620-9523 or go to our website to make an appointment at www.southingtonchiropractor.com.
