When To Seek Orthopedic Treatment After an Auto Accident

LinkedInFacebookInstagramXPinterestYoutube

Our Atlanta orthopedic doctors highly recommend seeking care immediately following an auto accident.

Noticeable Symptoms

Following the shock of the trauma of realizing you have been in an accident, you or medical personnel will immediately notice if bones are broken as well as lacerations and other visual injuries sustained in the accident.

Delayed Symptoms of an Orthopedic Injury

While broken bones and lacerations are serious and need immediate attention, there’s also the possibility you could experience delayed symptoms which could be just as devastating.

If you leave an accident with just some minor bruising you may think taking some over the counter medicine and some rest will do the trick. However, as the night progresses so does the swelling and you wake up to excruciating pain and the inability to move your arm.

At this point you know treatment is essential, but what if you had sought treatment earlier, maybe this injury wouldn’t have escalated to an emergency. This minor bruise that you thought was nothing could very well be a broken bone and having left it untreated, this could mean potential surgery depending on how much damage was caused. Seeking attention immediately or as soon as possible can reduce the risk of more damage.

Now, stop and think about this. If you self diagnose and put off seeing a doctor like our Atlanta orthopedic specialists, you may potentially wave your right to file an injury lawsuit if you were not the negligent party. This means not only were you a victim of an accident but you are now looking at hefty medical bills and a longer healing time which may cost you more money.

Yesterday was my last day at AICA College Park since my accident in December, there is so much to say about the people who work here and the level of customer service, care, attention, friendliness, and overall amazing atmosphere that they provide. Location is perfect in College Park, right off the highway and in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The entire staff, from the front desk girls, to the physical therapy girls, to the chiros, and the medical team are AMAZING! I feel like I just lost my friends not being able to visit them twice a week every week. I will definitely miss coming here. All the smiles and warm welcomes received. The physical therapy - asking about my day, if everything is okay and helping my back and neck get better. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Hector as my chiropractor, he is awesome, was very helpful in the healing process and also a native Spanish speaker which is a plus for those of us who do speak Spanish. Before coming to AICA, I tried another injury clinic in ATL and walked out after 5 mins - so impersonal and cold. I am so glad that I found AICA in College Park. Trust me, if you are injured and need some healing and TLC you NEED to come to this clinic! Highly recommend to everyone. Thank you again to the guys and girls at AICA - xo Ms. Colon
