FAQ 8: How soon after a vehicle collision or any other injury should I see you?  Or after a surgery?

Rapid response significantly shortens recovery time and reduces your misery.  It's better to immediately call me about receiving work.  Immediately means the same day or the next day.  When we consider your situation, I'll help you decide when to come in.  As soon as you can tolerate being touched with a few pounds of pressure , any wounds are closed, and a physician has examined and released you, manual therapy can start accelerating your recovery.

Continuation:

Even before any wounds are scarred over, I may be able to gently accelerate healing and help you be more comfortable.  Let's discuss your situation.

The condition sometimes diagnosed as whiplash is a good example.  People who suffer  a neck injury often have no pain on the day of the accident and no significant pain the following day.  Sometimes serious pain only starts on or after the third day following a collision.  If you come in soon enough after a trauma, I can start reducing the effects and resulting suffering even before they fully develop.
