Being in a car accident can cause injuries that aren’t immediately obvious. Your adrenaline might be masking your symptoms, or your symptoms might not show up until days or weeks after the accident. When you visit a chiropractor immediately after an auto accident in McKinney, TX, you can get a diagnosis for your auto injuries and receive same-day auto injury treatment. When you visit us at ChiroConcepts McKinney, you can also get the documentation and assistance you need to work with a personal injury attorney on filing an auto accident claim.  

What Can a Chiropractor Do After a Car Accident? 

Our chiropractor, Dr. Michael Prochaska, has extensive experience evaluating, diagnosing, and treating auto injuries. You will receive immediate evaluation and same-day treatment without having to wait for hours in a hospital emergency waiting room. Dr. Prochaska and his team will conduct a thorough physical examination and screen you for symptoms of common auto injuries like whiplash, concussion, spinal injury, head injury, and neurological issues.

How Does a Chiropractor Treat Auto Injuries? 

Chiropractic care is safe, effective, and non-invasive. It utilizes the body’s natural ability to heal itself rather than relying on prescription medications or dangerous surgeries. Dr. Prochaska will take an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan to uncover hidden auto injuries or rule out or confirm a diagnosis. He will then design a personalized chiropractic auto injury treatment plan that addresses the underlying cause of your symptoms. He may recommend a combination of chiropractic therapies to offer you the fastest recovery, including chiropractic adjustments, physical rehabilitation, and spinal decompression therapy.

When Should You Visit a Chiropractor After a Car Accident? 

We recommend that you visit Dr. Prochaska as soon as possible after being in a car accident. Delaying treatment can put you at risk of complications and further injury. Some auto injury complications are permanent. 

Can a Chiropractor Help You With a Personal Injury Lawsuit? 

Yes, Dr. Prochaska can offer assistance if you plan on filing a personal injury lawsuit in relation to your auto accident. He can recommend a reputable personal injury attorney in the area, and he has extensive experience working with local personal injury lawyers. He will carefully document your injuries, treatment plan, prognosis, and any evidence in your case so that your attorney can use it to substantiate your claim. He can also act as an expert witness in your case if needed.
