Your First Consultation After An Auto Accident Injury: What To Expect

It is not uncommon to experience pain after a car accident. An auto accident injury can make everyday activities difficult. Therefore, you should schedule an appointment with Elan Wellness Center in Tampa for quality treatment. Before your first appointment, you should know what to expect.

Your Medical History

During your appointment, our Westchase chiropractor, Dr. Rogers, will take your medical history. We will need to know what medications you are taking, any past surgeries you have had, and any conditions or pain issues you are suffering.

Accident Information

Our chiropractor will want to know how the accident occurred. Understanding what happened before and after the auto accident can help us understand a bit more about your injury. This information is also essential in creating an adequate treatment plan.

Physical Exam

A physical exam is necessary to test your range of motion and your strength in the area where the injury happened, as well as diagnose your condition.

Diagnostic Testing

Dr. Rogers may order an x-ray, CT scan, or MRI to get a better look at your spine, bones, tendons, and joints, and rule out certain issues.

Discussing Your Treatment Plan

When our doctor has a complete understanding of your injuries, she will discuss you your treatment plan. Together, we will set goals for your needs and make sure that you have a realistic expectation of what to expect.
