When you get into a car accident, you have a great deal to consider. You have all the tasks associated with the insurance claim and trying to get your car repaired. The first thing on your mind probably isn't your health. But, at Lemont Chiropractic Center, serving Lemont, IL, and the surrounding region, our auto injury chiropractor, Dr. Adam Bezanis, puts your health first.
Our Diagnostic Process
The first step to getting injury treatment consists of our diagnostic process, which begins with a thorough evaluation. We start by gathering information about your medical history. We'll inquire about the accident and the details associated with it, such as if it was a rear-end collision.
Our auto injury chiropractor in Lemont, IL will then perform a physical evaluation and perform X-ray imaging if. We'll focus on your area of concern and ask you to complete certain movements, so we can assess your range of motion. We also perform digital X-ray imaging as necessary. Our practitioner will manually feel the area of complaint, assessing for tightness, swelling, and more.
Getting You the Treatment You Need
Once we complete the evaluation portion of the appointment, our chiropractor will tailor a treatment to meet your needs. If it was a back or neck/whiplash injury, we may perform a chiropractic adjustment. This particular treatment consists of our practitioner manually manipulating the spine and taking stress off the surrounding nerves and tissue.
Sometimes, the treatment approach may include massage therapy. During this treatment, a specialist will apply controlled pressure and stimulate blood flow to the area. Rather than a standard spa massage, this therapy is more comprehensive and reaches the tissue deep within.
We also use trigger point and acupressure, which are targeted approaches that facilitate healing and aid in pain relief.
Your treatment may include hot and cold therapy. The temperature changes applied to an injured area can help with healing. For instance, the heat promotes circulation and can help loosen tight muscles.
Some patients may benefit from our other treatments as well, such as interferential or electrical stimulation. Others may benefit from electro-acupuncture.
