Chiropractic Care After A Car Accident in Vernon Hills IL

First, it’s important to note that at the time of the accident you should seek out medical attention immediately.  This will help you be cleared of any injuries or issues.

Many times people say they feel fine only to experience pain and discomfort days after the accident.  Typically, patients will say they start feeling symptoms about 3-5 days from the accident.  This is actually pretty common due to our fight or flight response – or when our adrenaline takes over.  It seems when we have had a few days to process and relax that’s when we start to experience issues.

Most patients will receive some prescription medication, it is important to note that this is really meant as a temporary relief for your pain.
