When to Seek Care for a Personal Injury

Personal injury cases abound, and by their numbers, you might think that there is a wide variety of causes for them. While there are outlying instances that cover pretty much everything, the fact is that most cases fall into one of only a few categories. These are auto accidents, medical malpractice, slips and falls, dog bites, and assault/battery. In many of these instances, litigation is one of the after-effects of the injury.

When Should You Seek Care for a Personal Injury?

It is best to seek care as soon as you can after an injury. This solves two concerns: one of health, and one of legal evidence.

Health-wise, fast treatment is best for any kind of injury or illness. This allows the doctor to address the damage before it has a chance to heal incorrectly or spread problems to other parts of your body. It also prevents the damage from becoming worse and more painful or debilitating.

Legally speaking, fast initial care allows you to get a medical report detailing exactly what physical harm the mishap caused. This is essential if you intend to file an insurance claim, file suit, or both. If you were assaulted, a criminal case against the perpetrator will also be aided by your medical report. Court cases are decided on the evidence and the circumstances surrounding an event, so the more evidence you can get, the better.

How Does a Chiropractor Combine Techniques to Treat Personal Injuries?

While chiropractors are known for their spinal adjustments, these are rarely the only tools that will be used to treat your injuries. Typically, our Beverly Hills chiropractor will add other therapies, such as therapeutic massage, spinal decompression, corrective exercise, and more in order to provide a well-rounded treatment plan.

The specific combination of techniques used depends on your individual case and the type of injury involved. Therefore, you will need to be evaluated before a treatment plan is finalized.
