Car accidents can be scary, no matter the severity of the accident. You can sustain a variety of injuries from a car accident, ranging from minor scrapes and bruises to something as serious as whiplash, broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries.

Chiropractic care can be beneficial in the recovery process from injuries related to car accidents by providing relief from pain, restoring mobility, and improving your overall health. This can be an excellent addition to the recovery process if your injury requires seeing a physical therapist.

From an article on the blog of Florin Roebig, an injury attorney, the author writes that one of the highest priorities after a car accident is seeking medical attention. This is even if you don’t believe you’ve been injured, or you believe your injuries don’t warrant medical attention. Many injuries that happen can take hours to days after the event to make themselves known, especially whiplash. Later in the article the author recommends seeing a chiropractor within 72 hours of the accident.
