Auto-Accident & Personal Injury Care in Fargo
After a car accident, you may be dealing with a sore neck, a stiff back, and plenty of questions. Even when discomfort seems manageable, it can interfere with driving, sleeping, or getting through work. At Bjorlie Chiropractic, Dr. Kevin Bjorlie, DC, evaluates musculoskeletal concerns after collisions and explains what the findings mean for your next steps.
The goal is to understand your symptoms, document what you’re experiencing, and determine whether chiropractic care is suitable.
An Evaluation That Starts with Your Story
Your first visit includes a detailed conversation about the collision. Your chiropractor asks where you were sitting, the direction and type of impact, and how you felt before and after the accident. Knowing whether symptoms are new or have changed helps guide the assessment.
A physical examination follows, and the chiropractor explains the findings in plain language. Care may begin that day if chiropractic treatment is suitable. The chiropractor may recommend further assessment or referral when needed.
Common Concerns After a Collision
Patients may seek an evaluation for:
- Neck and back strains or sprains
- Whiplash and reduced movement
- Arm or leg pain
- Muscle spasms and headaches
- Symptoms associated with disc injuries
Your chiropractor considers how these concerns affect daily activities and builds recommendations around the examination findings. Symptom documentation and changes in movement help guide follow-up care.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon should I get checked after an accident?
Seek timely healthcare advice if you have symptoms or concerns after a collision. Symptoms may not be apparent immediately. Serious injuries or urgent symptoms require emergency medical evaluation rather than waiting for a chiropractic appointment.
What happens during my first visit?
