What doctor is best to see after a car accident?

It depends on how hurt you are. If you have severe pain, a head injury, numbness, or anything alarming, go to the emergency room first so serious problems are ruled out. Once you are cleared, or if the crash left you with neck pain, back pain, stiffness, or headaches, a chiropractor who works with accident injuries is a strong fit, because those are soft tissue and joint problems. A primary care doctor can help coordinate and refer. Often the best answer is more than one. At Muskingum County Accident & Injury Center in Zanesville, Dr. Byus evaluates crash injuries, treats what falls in his lane, and refers out when something needs a different specialist.
