Motor vehicle collisions can affect muscles, joints, soft tissue and mobility—even when symptoms are not immediately obvious.
Expressed Health evaluates common musculoskeletal complaints following automobile accidents and provides conservative care when clinically appropriate.
We begin by reviewing how the accident happened, when symptoms started, prior injuries, and how the collision has affected your daily activities. This helps our Rock Hill and Chester chiropractic team understand the forces involved and identify areas that may require further evaluation.
Your doctor performs a focused chiropractic and musculoskeletal examination that may include posture, range of motion, orthopedic testing, neurological testing, and evaluation of the neck, back, shoulders, and other injured areas.
We assess how the injury is affecting movement, strength, mobility, and everyday function. This helps identify restrictions that may not be obvious immediately after an auto accident and provides a baseline for tracking your recovery
When clinically indicated, X-rays or other diagnostic imaging may be recommended to evaluate the spine and injured areas more closely. Imaging decisions are based on your accident history, examination findings, symptoms, and individual clinical needs.
Based on your findings, your doctor develops an individualized treatment plan that may include chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercise, stretching, soft-tissue therapies, and other conservative care designed to improve movement and function following an auto accident.
Accurate documentation is maintained throughout your care, including your history, examination findings, treatment, progress, and response to care. When appropriate and authorized, records can be coordinated with insurance companies, attorneys, or other healthcare providers involved in your injury claim.
With patient authorization, our office can communicate with attorneys, insurers and other healthcare providers as appropriate.
