Car accidents are terrible experiences for anyone involved, especially because of the long-term damage they leave in the body. Many of our patients realize that, while they felt almost OK immediately after a car crash, after few hours or a day, their health wasn’t as good anymore.
It’s normal for this to happen, as the adrenaline rush you feel in the aftermath, will mask more serious pains and injuries. As soon as it’s over, you’ll succumb to the fullest of your injuries.
What Kind of Doctor Should I See After a Car Accident?
ER Doctors
If the injuries are serious, you will be rushed into the ER. The doctors there will do their best to put you back together, give you medication and save your life.
The problem is that, after a serious car accident, there are more injuries and lasting trauma that cannot be taken care of in the ER only.
Here are just few of the conditions you’ll encounter, even after a small car accident: Whiplash, Spinal Fractures, Herniated Discs, Spondylolisthesis, Spinal Cord Injuries and so on.
These are not taken care of in the ER, as long as they don’t put your life at risk, but a herniated disk for instance or a torn meniscus will make it impossible for you to resume your regular life anymore.
Many patients then go to a primary care physician to be further diagnosed.
Primary Care Physician
In many cases these doctors refuse to treat the car crash injuries, because they also know there are more serious issues that need to be diagnosed by a specialist. This is why they refer you to Orthopedic, Chiropractors and Pain Management doctors among others.
