Most commonly after a car accident, there are a few signs and symptoms you can keep an eye on at home.
Stiffness, one of the biggest indicators that something is not quite right.
Headache. Very common as well. If you are prone to headaches, you should also watch out for more frequent headaches.
If you feel these things, you should come in for an examination.
In our clinic, we are going to do an orthopedic and neurological examination. We are also going to examine how the muscles are working, how they are firing and if they are strong, or tight. We may send you for x-rays depending on your case. From those images, we can also determine if we need an MRI.
We can also determine if we need to refer for an examination with another provider or specialist. We have great experience with the injury evaluation. With all of those things together, we can decide which route to take your care based on your symptoms and how you are presenting.
