When Do You Need Auto Injury Treatment in Vancouver, WA?
Many people believe they only need auto injury treatment if they have severe pain or immediate, visible signs of auto injuries. However, adrenaline can mask pain and other symptoms, and some auto injuries don’t show symptoms for days or weeks post-accident. At Back to Health Chiropractic and Massage, we recommend that you visit us for auto injury treatment in Vancouver, WA, immediately after being in an accident. Here are some key ways you can tell if you need auto injury treatment.
You Were Rear Ended
If you were rear ended in a car accident, you have an increased risk of concussion, whiplash, and cervical spine injury. All these injuries can have delayed symptoms, and you may not immediately realize that you are injured. We can provide comprehensive screening and diagnostic testing that uncovers hidden auto injuries. We will screen you for symptoms of a concussion, whiplash, or a cervical spine injury.
You Have Symptoms of a Head Injury or Concussion
When untreated, a head injury or concussion can be life threatening or cause chronic physical and mental health issues. Dr. Thomas Saeman has extensive education and training in recognizing symptoms of a head injury or concussion, and can get you the treatment you need before your symptoms become more serious. The most common symptoms of a head injury or concussion are:
- Neck pain, stiffness, and loss of range of motion
- Severe or recurring headaches or migraines
- Nausea
- Disorientation
- Memory and concentration problems
- Personality changes or mood swings
- Depression or anxiety
- Sleep problems
- Loss of appetite
- Loss of consciousness or fainting
- Fatigue
You Want to File an Insurance Claim or Personal Injury Claim

We will preserve all evidence related to your auto accident and provide your insurance company or personal injury attorney with all necessary documentation. We can also act as a witness in your personal injury claim and work closely with your attorney to recover compensation for your damages.
