Car Accident Q & A
When should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?
It’s important to see a chiropractor if you’ve been in an accident, even if you aren’t sure whether you were injured. An initial evaluation can identify problems early – before you begin to experience symptoms – and ensure you receive the right treatment immediately.
Although treatment is recommended right away, it’s never too late to seek care from a chiropractor. Car accident victims are at risk of chronic pain, so if you experience pain weeks or months after your accident, it’s time to schedule an appointment with New York Spine and Pain.

- Headaches
- Migraines
- Blurry vision
- Muscle stiffness
- Irritability
- Trouble sleeping
- Neck, back, and shoulder pain
- Tingling, numbness in your shoulders and upper arms
How is chronic pain treated?
The team at New York Spine and Pain believes the only way to provide lasting relief from chronic pain is to identify and treat the underlying cause of your pain.
Treatment of pain depends on its cause, location, and severity. Dr. Lezamiz tailors your treatment plan to you so you can expect a custom treatment plan designed to deliver the results you need.
Perhaps most importantly, if he believes you need treatment from a specialist, massage therapist, or physical therapist in addition to chiropractic treatment, he’ll let you know and even coordinate care with these professionals.
