Quick answers to questions ABOUT SEEING A CHIROPRACTOR AFTER AN AUTO ACCIDENT
What happens at my first chiropractic visit after an auto accident?
At your first visit, you’ll complete a detailed intake: you’ll discuss how the accident happened, when symptoms began, and describe current pain or discomfort. The chiropractor will review your general medical history as well as accident history. Then you’ll undergo a physical examination — palpation, posture analysis, range of motion tests, tests for joint or soft-tissue injury, and possibly neurological screening (reflexes, strength, nerve involvement).
Will I need X-rays or imaging after a car accident?
Yes — your chiropractor will look for spinal misalignment, soft tissue injury, disc damage or other structural issues, and will likely recommend X-rays (or other imaging if needed including MRI) to get a clear view of the spine, neck, and potentially injured areas. This allows Dr. Hull to assess spine alignment, and detect internal injuries that may not show through an exam without imaging.
What kinds of exams will the chiropractor perform — beyond just looking at my back and neck?
Dr. Hull will complete orthopedic and neurological exams. This includes testing your range of motion, muscle strength, reflexes, nerve function, joint mobility, gait or balance, and palpation for tenderness or stiffness. These tests help identify soft-tissue injuries, nerve involvement, whiplash, disc issues or other hidden damage from the accident.
How does treatment begin — and what can I expect after the initial exam?
After reviewing your exam, history, and any imaging results, Dr. Andrew Hull will create a personalized treatment plan. This may include spinal adjustments, soft-tissue therapy (massage, myofascial release), rehabilitative exercises, and sometimes therapies like spinal decompression, shockwave, or other modalities to reduce inflammation and promote healing. They will also set expectations for recovery time, schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust care as needed.
How does working with a personal injury (PI) attorney relate to chiropractic care — and what role do SOAP notes and documentation play?
When you plan to work with a PI attorney after an auto accident, detailed chiropractic documentation becomes very important. Chiropractors use a format called SOAP notes (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) to record your complaints, objective findings (like exam results, imaging, range of motion, neurological observations), their diagnosis/assessment, and the treatment plan. Proper, thorough documentation — including pain scales, objective measurements, and detailed observations — can serve as critical evidence for your injury claim. Additionally, chiropractors experienced in accident cases often coordinate with legal teams to ensure records are detailed, properly formatted, and timely. Dr. Hull is known by local attorneys and trusted as an expert diagnosing physician.
