Why Get Chiropractic After Crashes

 Hey, 

 

Doctor Ryan Alter. Your Delray Beach Chiropractor. Have you been involved in a car crash? Or has someone you know been involved in a car crash lately? I wanted to explain a few things to you. Typically,

 

when someone gets in a car crash,  

 

if you have injuries you think are severe enough, 

 

you might wind up going to the hospital.

 

And when you go to the hospital, 

 

what they’re going to do, 

 

they’re going to do some diagnostic tests, 

 

usually some x-rays. Oftentimes here in Delray, 

 

They’ll do CT scans. And then if you don’t have anything that’s life threatening, 

 

they’re going to give you a prescription for some medications and they’re going to send you out the door.

 

The job of the hospital. is to make sure you’re not going to die

 

and then get you out of there so they can take care of the next person who might have life threatening injuries. Their job is not to make sure your back or neck is okay. That’s not their job. My job is to make sure your spine, 

 

your back 

 

and your neck are okay.

 

And it heals properly. So you don’t wind up with a big mess 3, 4, 5, 20 years later. So when someone gets in a crash, 

 

They should come and see me 

 

because what I’m going to do is I’m going to carefully evaluate every vertebrae, 

 

their entire spine, 

 

that’s not done at the hospital. So we’re going to evaluate every vertebrae.

 

I might take a few of my own x rays 

 

and then I’m going to put together a plan to help this person heal 

 

and get better. So then in the future,

 

they don’t wind up with a big giant mess. We want the spine to heal as good as it can with the least amount of scar tissue. So if you’re ever in a wreck. If anyone you know is ever in a wreck, 

 

tell them to come and see me 

 

and we’ll do everything we can to make sure we put them back together so they don’t have a future full of misery or problems.

 

We’re here in Delray Beach. We’re here to make sure you 

 

and everyone you know is feeling your best.
