Auto accidents are often scary, even if they occur at a slow rate of speed. Your adrenaline is pumping, and you may think you have not suffered any injuries, but did you know that pain can show up days later? Medication might help a bit but it might not provide long-term relief.

Our “chiropractor near me” tries to find the source of your pain. Even if you aren't in pain, it may help to make an appointment with us at Elite Family Chiropractic in Pearland, TX, after the accident. Day-to-day activities can worsen an injury to the point of you feeling pain.

Your First Consultation

We may start your first visit with a limited physical exam of the affected area. Our chiropractor may also talk to you about your medical history. We are also interested in your range of motion and flexibility. These give us a good idea of what damage, if any, the auto accident did. We are also looking for signs of whiplash. Whiplash is a common condition that occurs when a car is hit from behind. Your head is thrown forward, then backward, and even a crash at low speed can do damage. We may look for things like neck stiffness, loss of range of motion, and tenderness in your neck, back, and shoulders.

This first visit is also used to gather information about you, including your lifestyle, habits, hobbies, and work.
