What Should I Do Now?

If you've been in an accident, there are some important steps to take after filing a claim with your insurance.  First, you should be evaluated thoroughly by a doctor who understands accident trauma.  If you go or have been to an urgent care clinic, that is a great start.  Next, you can call and speak directly to Dr. Owens about your accident, symptoms, treatment options, and what to expect.  In Florida, you must be seen by a doctor within 14 days of the accident, and we would be thrilled to satisfy that requirement and help you on the road to recovery.

Our Promise to You

We know how traumatic car accidents can be, and we understand the injuries and stress that they create.  Our examination will be thorough, and necessary imaging will be ordered at the appropriate times.  We will use gentle treatment techniques, file all your insurance claims, communicate with your medical doctor and attorney (if you hire one), recommend attorneys (if you need to hire one), and refer you out for other evaluations and treatments as needed.  Dr. Owens will not just meet you once and pass you off.  He is with you every step of your recovery.

Choosing a Chiropractor after a Car Accident

When choosing a chiropractor after a car accident, pay attention to a few different items.

 

Does the Chiropractor treat car accident cases?

Experience evaluating, diagnosing, treating, and documenting a car accident case is critically important.  Dr. Owens has treated these cases since 2010, and he has passed various post-graduate certifications to advance his understanding.

Does the Chiropractor only treat car accident cases?

Beware the chiropractic office that only treats these types of cases.  You may feel like a case number more than a patient or a true member of the practice.

Does the Chiropractor work with attorneys?

A chiropractor should be willing to work with attorneys in regards to sharing records, discussing the case periodically, working off liens and letters of protection, and more.  Teamwork on behalf of the patient is always a winning recipe.

Do I have to see a Chiropractor after a Car Accident?

Of course not!  With that said, a car accident chiropractor can be a huge help for your spinal injuries.  Research supports chiropractic care for acute pain relief, chronic pain relief, injury stabilization, and rehabilitation.  We incorporate laser therapy into our treatment to further help alleviate pain and restore normal function after an accident.
