What to Expect at an Auto Accident Chiropractic Evaluation
An auto accident chiropractic evaluation is a structured first visit where Dr. Lynn Labrousse reviews your history, discusses your symptoms, and completes a physical examination before recommending any care.
Before your visit
Bring a valid ID, your insurance card, claim information if applicable, and a police report if available. It also helps to know the date of the accident and any details about your auto insurance.
During the evaluation
The office may ask about the accident, whether you were the driver, passenger, or pedestrian, your auto insurance, whether you have an attorney, and whether you have been evaluated elsewhere. These details help the clinic understand your situation.
Examination and imaging
Dr. Lynn Labrousse completes a physical evaluation focused on your symptoms. In-office X-rays may be taken when appropriate. Imaging is ordered only when it may help your evaluation.
After the evaluation
When appropriate, you receive an individualized care plan. The clinic documents visits thoroughly, which is intended to support your medical care and relevant claim processes. You are never obligated to proceed with care.
Common questions
How long does an evaluation take?
The length of a first visit can vary depending on your situation and whether imaging is needed. Call the office to discuss what to expect.
Do I have to start treatment after the evaluation?
No. The evaluation is separate from treatment decisions. Dr. Lynn Labrousse discusses findings with you, and you decide together what makes sense.
