The chiropractor will take your medical history, perform a physical exam and will ask you questions about your car accident.Then the chiropractor will decide if you need therapeutic massage or joint adjustments. Non-invasive procedures are done first, the last resort is surgery.

Following a car accident, chiropractic standard of care includes assessing and treating any injuries resulting from the accident. If there was a previous reason for chiropractic care needed, then the judgement falls on the chiropractor as to whether the treatment is needed as a result of the accident or not.
