Car Accident FAQ

Steps To Follow After A Car Accident

The typical car accident often involves jarring movement that leaves passengers vulnerable to injury. Even minor car accidents can inflict lasting damage on a body. Seat belts can keep passengers relatively safe, yet all victims of car accidents may become injured; that’s why it’s important to seek treatment immediately after an accident.

If you have been in a car accident in Nashville, the first action is to seek the help of a chiropractor to receive a professional evaluation for any related auto injuries. Having a precise medical evaluation from a chiropractor will provide the affected person with the correct and necessary information to achieve the settlement of the personal injury case. More important, this evaluation will provide immediate and long-term health recovery avoiding any future unnecessary pain and health costs.

Why is it important not to delay a visit to a Chiropractor or Accident Doctor?

It’s not at all uncommon for victims of car accidents to feel perfectly fine for 24 to 48 hours after a car accident, only to start noticing the effects of their injuries days after the actual event. Common injuries from car accidents, like whiplash and back injury, are not always obvious from the very start. Delaying treatment for these conditions can actually increase the stress on the body, resulting in more pain and a longer recovery time.

How a Chiropractor Helps Accident Victims

Traditional doctors often treat injuries from car accidents with pain medication. While this offers a temporary relief, some pain medications are addictive and none of them promote healing.

Chiropractic care treats these injuries by establishing realignment of the joints and promoting self-healing within the body. Chiropractic treatment actually helps your body heal as it treats your pain. Upon your first visit to a chiropractor, you’ll receive a thorough examination—possibly with X-rays—so the chiropractor can determine the best course of treatment for your situation. Your individualized treatment plan may involve exercises you can do from home, a nutritional consultation and dietary plan, regular massage and, of course, regular treatments from the chiropractor.

Common Symptoms Following Car Accident

The symptoms of injury after an auto accident depends entirely on the type of injury sustained. It’s important to be able to recognize these common symptoms, so you can seek treatment and report the symptoms to the chiropractor. The symptoms include:

Neck pain
Stiffness of neck or other joints
Headaches
Whiplash
Limited range of motion
Shoulder pain
Swelling
Blurred vision

Unexpected pain or discomfort after an auto injury should be investigated after an accident, regardless of whether or not the symptoms match up with a common auto injury. In addition to whiplash, back injury, ligament tears and joint misalignment, victims may also suffer from pinched nerves, concussions, fractures and traumatic brain injury—all of which can be safely treated by a chiropractor.

      I have seen their Nashville accident and injury center from a year now for just preventative maintenance. There has been a tremendous improvement on my overall fitness and energy levels compared to before. I can’t thank them enough. The auto accident I was in reallytook a toll on my life but thanks to these Dr. Bearden and his team for the great chiropractic care and a very supportive nature.

      If you are searching for auto accident injury treatment in Nashville, then you should give them a call. I was grappling with so much neck pain for nearly a year after my accident. Tried so many approaches whether its physical therapy, medicines or massage but all of them were only short term relief. Within a short period of time, I could tell an enormous breakthrough with my pain levels and after 2 and a half months was off my meds and sleeping well again. Only wish I found them sooner.

      From the years of strenuous workout of power lifting and squats, my spine was exhausted. After months of suffering with chronic, re-occuring pain, I scheduled an appointment with their center. Right off the bat, they addressed all of my concerns re: Insurance and ability to pay and what to expect from one week to the next. After a month of treatment I was back in the gym at a capacity I hadn’t achieved for several years. I am optimistic this has saved me from future back surgery and having to resort to pain management. I tell everybody at my gym to try this first before resorting to other dangerous methods recommended to me by the other people.

      2 years ago, I was brutally hit by a car which caused me immense neck pain and sciatica. Dr. Bearden and Dr. Josh were great at fixingmy spinal alignment with their gentle traction method and rehab. I was lucky to find them and hopefully avoid any future chronic pain down the road.

      Their spinal decompression therapy ended up being the best therapy for my grandfather. In fact, he wasn’t able to sit properly and donormal work around the house. But because of these great folks, he is now doing everything on his own without any support of a family member.

      I found this clinic after being turned away from my regular doctors office because of “third party pay” after my car accident. Their Insurance dep’t was helpful in assisting me with resolving my case so that I could focus on my health and overall recovery.

      Nashville accident and injury center treatment plans are quite easy to follow for treating the pain and ache in the body. I went to this doctor at the hard time of Covid; each and every staff member had taken a proper precaution while wearing a masks and gloves. Overall I am impressed with the careful measures they have taken. Within a few sessions, they reduced the back problem from my back and neck. It was an effective treatment and I strongly referring them high enough.
