Can I just go to a chiropractor after a car accident?

Yes, you can go straight to a chiropractor after a car accident in Ohio, and you do not need a referral. Many people call us directly the day after a crash. That said, if you have severe pain, numbness, a head injury, or anything that feels serious, get emergency care first so the dangerous things are ruled out. Once you are cleared, chiropractic care is well suited to the neck strain, back pain, and soft tissue injuries a collision leaves behind. At Muskingum County Accident & Injury Center in Zanesville, Dr. Byus evaluates how the crash affected your spine and joints, builds a plan around what he finds, and documents your visit so your record is accurate from day one.
