What to Do In a Car Accident

Car Accidents

Car accidents are bound to happen, especially driving in New York traffic! Fortunately they are usually not serious. However, even a minor car accident can lead to a major problem with lasting side effects. Whiplash, back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain are all side effects of car accidents. And if left untreated, can lead to chronic conditions that leave you in pain for years. So if you do get in a car accident, here's a few suggestions:

Drive Safely

Avoiding a car accident altogether would be ideal. So keep distractions at a minimum when you're behind the wheel. For example, if you're feeling tired pull over and grab a coffee before pressing on!

Be Prepared to Heal

The healthier you are going into a car accident, the better off you'll be afterward. If your body is strong and flexible it will be that much easier for you to recover from most car accidents. This is not a suggestion to plan for a car accident, but a suggestion to be in the best shape possible to handle any situation.

Go From The Accident to a Chiropractor

If you experience a serious injury, obviously go to the hospital! However, as soon as possible get to a chiropractor. You may have underlying muscle tension that if left untreated could turn into a chronic issue. Your spine will most likely become subluaxted (misaligned) as a result of the car accident, which again can lead to a chronic issue if left untreated.

I have been going to Williamsburg Chiropractic for two months. It is clear that the doctors at this practice are dedicated to helping their patients feel the best that they can. I love that the intake process includes taking x-rays, as it provided me with a clear picture of my structural imbalances and helps me understand more deeply how the adjustments are helping to realign my spine. There are also incremental body scan check-ins which reveal the progress my nervous system is making as a result of the adjustments over time. The office is also very efficient with wait times. Highly recommend!

Williamsburg Chiropractic is a quality practice all around.The front desk staff are always kind and responsive, Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Thomas are informative and consistently demonstrate expertise in their field, and I've never had a single billing issue (even while using my medical insurance plan).I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Williamsburg Chiropractic if you're experiencing any pain or discomfort - no matter the severity - as they may be able to help!

I suffered from a pinched nerve from my neck running down my arm for 3 months. It stopped me from working out which I had been doing daily. Went to a physical therapist for 2 of the 3 months. Did acupuncture regularly. Visited a neurologist. I did not want to take any medication to get rid of the pain, but nothing was working. Until I found Williamsburg Chiropractic.After very thorough examination and 1 week of treatment, we had established the reason for my pinched nerve and the pain had reduced by 60%. 2 weeks after that the pain was completely gone and I am now back to my routine of lifting heavy weights. BIG BIG thank you to the amazing people at Williamsburg Chiropractic. I am forever grateful and VERY HIGHLY recommend them to anyone suffering from any sort of body aches.

I tweaked my back weightlifting, and it was pretty painful to say the least. Within one session with Dr. Hoffman, I was in significantly less pain, and in two sessions in two days I was near back to normal. If you're debating a holistic route to pain, this is a great place to start. They x-ray you so they know exactly what they're working with and are very patient with explaining everything going on with your body. Would recommend!
