Injured in an Auto Accident In Shoreview Area?

There are more than 12 million car accidents every year in the US. Studies have found that many people can be symptomatic months or years after the initial accident. In one study, 75% had pain and/or other symptoms 6 months after the accident.
The forces from a car accident can be substantial. Just look at what happened to your car and think of those forces applied to your body. Auto accidents can cause spinal misalignments in the body, sprain strain injuries to muscles, whiplash, tendon/ligament injury, and possibly spinal disc injuries or nerve injuries. Soft tissue injuries, injuries to muscles, ligaments, and tendons, can take days or even weeks to present themselves after car accidents.
 
This is why it is so important, even if the accident was just a little bump, to get checked by a health professional. Chiropractors are experts in spinal misalignment treatment and the treatment of soft tissue injuries from auto accidents.
What to do after a car accident?
  • File a accident report with the local police
  • Seek treatment from a health care professional
  • Contact and file appropriate forms with your insurer
  • Contact an attorney that specializes in auto injuries
