Moderate Injury Treatment Clinic Q&A

There are all sorts of moderate injuries that happen to most of us in our lifetime. A case in point is a car accident, and according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), each year Americans spend a combined total of over one million days in the hospital after being injured while on roads and highways. What’s even more staggering is that medical costs combined exceed $18 billion. However, despite these facts, many people will wait to seek medical attention, especially if they only have minor signs of injury. However, when you are in any kind of car accident, or experience any kind of minor accident, it is important to receive medical attention right away. Even if you have minor pain, go see a doctor or a healthcare provider, who can help assess your injury, conduct an examination, and offer preventative tips for staying safe on the highway, or while cruising across town. A doctor or healthcare provider may also offer tips that might help keep you safer at home, or while playing your sport of choice. So, when an accident happens, get help right away and have it treated to make sure it’s not serious.

Columbia Clinic Urgent Care helps treat a number of injuries for clients:

– Auto injuries: If you have been injured in a car accident, it can be very painful and you may suffer from headaches, neck pain, back pain, even dizziness.
– Sports injuries: While on the court, field, ice, track, or in the ring, sports injuries are very common for weekend warriors and professional athletes alike.
– Work injuries: Workplace accidents happen, especially in physically demanding jobs.

Treatments start with an examination, and after careful diagnosis, your treatment plan may include non-invasive treatments, chiropractic care recommendations, joint and soft tissue manipulation, physical therapy, or stretching techniques.
