I've Been Injured in an Accident, What Do I do?

    So you're hurt and not sure what to do next.  First things first, if you are hurting and have what you feel are severe injuries, a head injury or lacerations, go to the ER.  In fact, its a good idea to go to an emergency room initially anyway, just to make sure.  They can rule out life threatening conditions and possibly give you something for pain if they feel that you need it.
   But then what?  At that point, if you are still hurting, you should get to a doctor like the ones at Accident and Injury Chiropractic.  The emergency room gave you emergency treatment, but to be able to heal properly, you need to be evaluated and will possibly need some sort of therapy for your condition.  Some hospital emergency rooms actually recommend to their patients to see a doctor of chiropractic for the remainder of their care.
    When you come in to see the Accident and Injury doctor, he will get a complete medical history, perform an exam, possibly shoot x-rays and formulate a treatment plan for your injuries.  As you treat, your  doctor will see you each day that you come in for therapy.  He or she will monitor your progress and guide you in your treatment as needed.
     The doctors at Accident and Injury can also help you with things like insurance and bills.  Its complicated and they can explain how that is taken care of so that hopefully, you won't have any out of pocket expenses.  But remember, the number one thing to do is get to the doctor as soon as possible.  The longer you delay, the more difficult it will be to treat your injury effectively.
