Car crashes are an unfortunate fact of life, especially in a large metropolitan area like Louisville and the surrounding suburbs.
What should you do if you have a fender bender or more serious crash? Should your first see a doctor, contact your insurance company, or seek legal help?
If you feel any pain or discomfort after your car crash, the answer is seek medical help as soon as you can.
But even if you don't feel pain, a doctor visit should be high on your list of priorities.
Our bodies react automatically to stress by releasing emergency hormones that can dull pain for a brief period. What feels like a minor bump or ache immediately after your accident can progress to serious or debilitating pain hours, or even days after the crash.
The nature of the injuries may mean that symptoms don't show up for even longer - weeks or even months, in some cases, depending on the type, severity, and location of the injury.
A timely exam and analysis by a medical doctor trained to identify skeletal or soft tissue damage that may cause pain is critical.
At Caterra Health Systems our medical doctors, physical therapists, and nurse practitioners specialize in the treatment of injuries associated with car crashes.
We offer same day service, in house comprehensive diagnostic capabilities, and will help you recover quickly and with the least interruption to your life.
