Chiropractors for personal injury and car accident care

What to know before booking chiropractic

Chiropractic practices can offer assessments and services involving the musculoskeletal system. The clinician, examination and services available can differ between offices. A chiropractic listing is not a recommendation for a particular technique or a substitute for discussing your accident history and current concerns with a qualified healthcare professional. NIH NCCIH: chiropractic background provides additional background.

Prepare for the first appointment

Ask who will evaluate you and how to share relevant health history and existing records before the visit. Confirm what the initial examination includes and how proposed care will be explained. If you are also seeing other clinicians, ask how the office coordinates information and what to do when questions arise between appointments.

Questions for the chiropractic office

• Which licensed clinician will perform the evaluation at this address?
• How will my history and any existing care instructions be considered?
• How are the proposed options, risks and alternatives explained before I agree to care?
• How does this office communicate with my other treating clinicians?
