If you have been in an auto accident, getting an appointment for a chiropractic treatment plan may help. There are a lot of people who have never been to a chiropractor before, or people who are unfamiliar with the NUCCA or the upper cervical chiropractic method. If that's you, don't worry. It often helps to know what to expect at an initial appointment. We at Greenacres Chiropractic in Spokane Valley, WA, know a lot about how what to expect after you’ve received an auto accident injury
Upper Cervical, NUCCA, and Other Chiropractic Care from Our Chiropractor
Like many other medical providers, your first appointment with our chiropractor will start with a detailed medical history and the details of the accident that caused the most recent injury. This detailed history, accident details, and a physical examination of the affected area will help allow our chiropractor to put together a detailed care and treatment plan.
Typically, care for these types of injuries involves several treatment sessions spread out over several weeks. During the sessions, muscles in the affected areas will be manipulated so that they can be helped moved into their normal, healthy positions. This may help reduce the pressure on the surrounding the nerves. That may help prevent the nerves from sending pain signals to the brain.
During the initial session, our chiropractor will be happy to answer any questions you may have. There is also a strong possibility that our chiropractor will be able to perform the first treatment session. This session will help some with any pain you are experiencing but be aware that it is rare for the pain relief to be permanent after only one session. Muscles may try to move back to the positions they were forced into during the accident.
