CAR ACCIDENT INJURY DOCTOR ATLANTA

Car Accident Injuries can lead to debilitating conditions if you are not treated right away by an Atlanta Accident Injury Doctor to help properly diagnose the issue and provide solutions to get to the root cause of your pain symptoms.

At Arrowhead Clinic, our team of highly skilled Atlanta Injury Doctors and medical staff have been assisting Car Accident patients for nearly 40 years.

We have assembled a team of qualified Chiropractors and Medical Doctors who specialize in post Auto Accident Injury Care.  

Our Atlanta Doctors utilize multiple forms of chiropractic care treatment and natural therapies to help patients make a full recovery from injuries suffered from an Auto Accident, so contact us today.

Instead of covering up Neck pain, Back pain, and chronic pain with potentially harmful medications, our doctors believe in treating the source of pain for our Auto Accident Injury Patients.

What to Expect During Your Initial Office Visit

When we first meet with you after your Auto Accident Injury, we conduct a comprehensive examination that may include:

• X-Rays
• Neurological Diagnostic Evaluation
• Palpation and Joint Range of Motion Tests

Upon making a diagnosis, we construct a customized treatment plan designed to relieve car accident victims with their pain symptoms, promote healing and prevent future injuries and complications.

Depending on the nature and location of the Accident Injury, we typically use:

• Pressure to manipulate the spine into a more natural alignment
• Electrical stimulation therapy to ease muscle soreness and tension
• Gentle traction techniques to better facilitate vertebral imbibition

Although healing occurs over the course of many weeks or months, the soft-tissues of the spine are often able to return to healthy, normal function with regular, consistent treatments.

Understanding Whiplash Injuries from Auto Accidents

The term "whiplash" has actually lost its value within the medical and legal realms.

To grasp a better understanding, whiplash injuries usually derive from the sudden force of a car accident when muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck are suddenly and forcibly contracted.

Even unexpected minor collisions can cause connective tissues to stretch unusually far. The ending result typically causes neck sprains and neck strains or "soft tissue injury," also known as "hyperflexion" or "hyperextension," but more commonly referred to as whiplash.

These types of injuries are quite common after a vehicle wreck, but they are also tricky from an injury claim perspective. That's because whiplash-type injuries, like all soft tissue injuries, do not typically show up on typical medical tests, such as:

• X-Rays
• MRIs
• Other diagnostic tests

Don't be mistaken. This doesn't mean whiplash-type injuries are any less justifiable or any less excruciating then another type of auto accident injuries. There can still be long term consequences from a whiplash injury, including lost wages and expensive medical bills. 

That's why it is so important if you've been injured in a motor vehicle accident, to seek medical care and injury treatment from an accident injury doctor that specializes in personal injuries.

If you are experiencing pain, discomfort, limited movement, stiffness, or any other symptoms of a neck injury, receiving the proper health care right away can not only cut your recovery time in half, it may also prevent future health issues from arising causing long term chronic pain and emotional distress.

Signing a Release of Liability After a Car Accident 

When you sign a release of liability you are essentially saying you give up the right to any compensation aside from the amount stated in the agreement. 

The other party's insurance company will try and get your signature before the full extent of your accident comes to light. Meaning, any financial damages, both property and medical, that shows up after you sign a release of liability will come out of your pocket. 

Ask yourself: Are the estimates of the damage to your vehicle accurate? Could there be hidden damages you don't know about? Do you have seemingly inconsequential soreness or minor injuries? Have you received proper medical care from a doctor experienced in auto accident injuries? It doesn't matter if you were a driver or passenger.

There is no rush to sign a release of liability, no matter what an adjuster leads you to believe.

Keep in mind car accidents are notorious for inducing late appearing injuries, delaying your signature on any binding documents pertaining to insurance or your accident is essential in making sure you are fully compensated for any damages suffered.

If you are feeling pressure or just have questions about your accident injury claim Arrowhead Chiropractic Clinic can refer you to a qualified personal injury lawyer right away to make sure your rights are protected.  

Payment to a Car Accident Doctor

Our Atlanta Accident Injury Doctors can work using a Medical Lien through a reputable Personal Injury Attorney who specializes in Auto Accident cases.

This means you do not have to pay money out of your own pocket to visit our Accident Doctor.

Insurance companies want you to wait before you seek medical treatment, so there is a gap between the accident and receiving necessary medical care.This way they might not pay you as much or may use it as an excuse to not pay anything at all.
