Hi, Dr. Rob from Personal Care Chiropractic is back again to answer your questions. This time we are going to talk about auto accidents and what you should do if you been in one.
The number one thing to do is to get checked out. So often I see patients come in who have been in an auto accident a year before, but they didn't have any treatment following it. Now all of a sudden, a year later, they're having neck pain, back pain, or headaches.
