Auto Accident and Personal Injury Chiropractor in Altus and Hobart, OK
At Reed Chiropractic Clinic, we help you get back to feeling like yourself after an auto accident, fall, or other personal injury. We know this can be a stressful and frightening time, so our Altus and Hobart chiropractors make it our goal to relieve your pain, restore healthy movement, and document your injuries thoroughly so you can focus on your recovery.
Auto Injuries
Even a low-speed collision can tweak your neck, strain your back, or force your entire body out of proper alignment. Our trained professionals are ready to locate the source of each problem and recommend the necessary chiropractic adjustments, therapies, and corrective exercises to help you heal. Our goal is to have you feeling like yourself again as quickly as possible.
Whiplash Treatment
One of the most common auto accident injuries is whiplash. Whiplash occurs when the head is suddenly thrown backward and then forward, or from side to side, straining the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck. Whiplash destabilizes the spine and can cause symptoms beyond the neck, including:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Shoulder and upper back pain
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision
- Arm pain, numbness, or tingling
- Low back pain
Why You Should See a Chiropractor Even After a Minor Accident
In an auto accident, you may not feel the effects right away. Adrenaline can mask pain, and symptoms often take weeks or even months to fully appear. If these injuries go untreated, they can become long-term problems that affect you for years. Even after a minor accident, it is wise to see a chiropractor to make sure everything is still aligned and functioning properly.
Personal Injury Care
Our goal is to help you receive the proper care after a personal injury, auto accident, or fall. Our staff is devoted to helping you obtain comprehensive treatment and the care you deserve, so you can maintain your quality of life and begin to feel like yourself again. Too often, people involved in a wreck have minimal or no symptoms until several weeks later. That is where the professionals at Reed Chiropractic Clinic come in to help with every aspect of your recovery.
Your treatment plan may include adjustments, digital X-rays to evaluate your injuries, massage therapy, e-stim, therapeutic ultrasound, and spinal decompression for disc injuries.
The Importance of Prompt Treatment and Documentation
If you have neck pain, low back pain, headaches, muscle soreness, dizziness, broken bones, or possible whiplash, please call our office as soon as possible. It is important not only to receive prompt treatment, but also to document the extent of your injuries. This is critical for your health and well-being, and for information that may pertain to a claim resulting from another driver’s negligence.
This is especially important in cases involving negligence or harm caused by another party. Failure to get a timely evaluation or the required treatment may harm your ability to receive compensation, including reimbursement, insurance claims, future medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages.
If you have been injured in an auto accident and need care, please call our Altus office at (580) 482-2313 or our Hobart office at (580) 726-2900.
Auto Injury Frequently Asked Questions
How soon should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?
It is best to be evaluated as soon as possible after an accident, ideally within the first few days, even if you do not feel pain yet. Early care supports healing and helps document your injuries.
Why do symptoms appear days or weeks after an accident?
Adrenaline and shock can mask pain immediately after an accident, and inflammation and stiffness often develop gradually. Some symptoms may not appear for weeks or even months.
Can a chiropractor treat whiplash?
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments, massage, e-stim, ultrasound, and targeted exercises can relieve whiplash pain, restore neck motion, and support healing of injured soft tissues.
Do I need a chiropractor after a minor car accident?
Yes. Even minor collisions can cause misalignments and soft tissue injuries. A chiropractic evaluation helps identify problems before they become long-term issues.
Will you document my injuries for my insurance claim?
Yes. We thoroughly document your examination findings, X-rays, and treatment, which can be important for insurance and personal injury claims.
What symptoms should I watch for after an accident?
Watch for neck pain, back pain, headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, shoulder pain, arm pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle soreness. Seek emergency care for severe symptoms.
Do you treat injuries from falls and other accidents?
Yes. We treat personal injuries from falls, workplace incidents, sports, and other accidents in addition to auto accident injuries.
