Orlando City Health & Wellness helps patients start the road to recovery with chiropractic care, physical therapy, digital X-rays, documentation, and coordinated treatment plans.
Call a Doctor First After an Accident
After an accident, most people are overwhelmed. They may feel pain right away, or symptoms may show up hours or days later. Calling a doctor first helps protect your health by starting proper evaluation, documentation, and treatment early.
Attorneys use medical documentation to understand what happened to your body. Insurance companies request medical records. Specialists rely on exam findings and imaging. That is why the first step on the road to recovery should be a clinical evaluation.

Preparing for Treatment
To prepare for an Auto New Patient Exam and Treatment, patients should gather relevant medical records, insurance information, and any documentation related to the auto accident. It's helpful to jot down any symptoms or concerns to discuss during the appointment. Additionally, wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy movement can facilitate the examination process.
During the New Patient Exam
During an Auto New Patient Exam and Treatment with a chiropractor, several steps typically occur. Firstly, the chiropractor will review the patient's medical history and discuss any specific concerns related to the auto accident. Next, they will conduct a physical examination, which may include assessing posture, range of motion, and performing orthopedic tests to identify areas of dysfunction or injury. Based on the findings, the chiropractor will develop a personalized treatment plan, which may involve spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitative exercises, or other modalities aimed at restoring function and alleviating pain caused by the auto accident. Throughout the process, the chiropractor will educate the patient on proper posture, ergonomics, and strategies for injury prevention.

Common injuries from a car accident
Common injuries resulting from car accidents can vary widely depending on the severity of the collision and the position of the individuals involved. However, some frequent injuries include whiplash, which affects the neck and upper back due to sudden jerking movements during impact, leading to muscle strain and ligament damage.
Additionally, individuals may suffer from fractures or broken bones, particularly in the arms, legs, and ribs, as a result of the force of the collision. Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries, are also common, often caused by the head striking against the steering wheel, dashboard, or windows. Soft tissue injuries such as bruises, contusions, and sprains are prevalent, affecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments throughout the body. Individuals involved in car accidents need to seek medical attention promptly to diagnose and treat any injuries, even if symptoms are not immediately apparent.
Why should you see a chiropractor after a car accident?
Patients should consider seeing a chiropractor immediately after a car accident for several reasons. Firstly, many injuries sustained in car accidents, such as whiplash and soft tissue injuries, may not manifest symptoms immediately but can develop over time. Prompt evaluation by a chiropractor allows for early detection and treatment of these injuries, preventing them from worsening.
Secondly, chiropractors specialize in musculoskeletal health and can provide non-invasive treatments tailored to address car accident-related injuries effectively. Early intervention can help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing, leading to faster recovery and preventing long-term complications. Finally, seeking chiropractic care early ensures that patients receive comprehensive documentation of their injuries, which may be crucial for insurance claims or legal proceedings related to the accident.
How do Chiropractors Treat Auto Injuries?
Chiropractors employ various techniques to treat auto injuries effectively. Initially, they conduct a thorough assessment to diagnose the extent of the injuries, often using imaging tests like X-rays to identify underlying issues. Treatment may involve chiropractic adjustments aimed at realigning the spine and joints to alleviate pain and restore mobility. Additionally, chiropractors may utilize manual therapies such as massage, stretching exercises, and soft tissue manipulation to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote healing. Education on ergonomic practices and lifestyle modifications may also be provided to prevent future injuries and promote overall well-being. By addressing the root causes of auto injuries, chiropractors help patients achieve long-term relief and optimal recovery.

What is Workers' Compensation?
Workers' compensation is a form of insurance designed to protect both employees and employers in the event of a workplace injury or illness. This system ensures that injured workers receive medical care, wage replacement, and rehabilitation while also protecting employers from lawsuits related to workplace accidents.
Why is Workers' Compensation Important?
For employees, workers' compensation provides critical benefits when injuries or illnesses occur on the job. Instead of having to worry about medical bills or lost wages, workers can focus on recovery and return to work as soon as they're able.
For employers, workers' compensation helps prevent costly legal battles and ensures a safer, more secure work environment. By complying with workers' compensation laws, businesses can minimize the risk of being held liable for workplace accidents.
Who Needs Workers' Compensation?
In most states, workers' compensation is mandatory for businesses with a certain number of employees. Whether you’re a small business owner or managing a large company, it’s essential to understand your obligations and how workers' compensation applies to your workforce.
Key coverage includes:
Full-time employees
Part-time employees
Temporary or seasonal workers (in some cases)
If you're unsure about the specific regulations for your business, our team can help you understand the laws that apply to your industry.
What Does Workers' Compensation Cover?
Workers' compensation typically covers the following:
Medical expenses: Covers the cost of doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, prescriptions, physical therapy, and more.
Lost wages: If an employee cannot work due to a work-related injury, workers' compensation replaces a portion of their lost income.
Rehabilitation costs: If long-term rehabilitation or vocational training is required, workers' compensation can cover these expenses.
Death benefits: In tragic cases where a worker dies due to a work-related accident, workers' compensation may provide benefits to the deceased employee’s family.
Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury
If an employee is injured on the job, it’s important to follow a few simple steps:
Report the injury immediately: Notify your supervisor or HR department about the incident as soon as it happens.
Seek medical attention: Get medical care right away, even if the injury seems minor.
File a workers' compensation claim: Once the injury is documented, your employer should help file a claim with their workers' compensation insurer.
Follow the recovery plan: Adhere to medical instructions and attend follow-up appointments to ensure a smooth recovery.
Employers' Responsibilities
As an employer, it is your responsibility to:
Provide a safe work environment to reduce the risk of injuries.
Offer workers' compensation insurance coverage as required by law.
Cooperate with employees and insurers during the claims process.
Ensure that employees know their rights and how to file a claim.
