No one ever thinks about being hit by a car as they cross the street or walk on the sidewalk. Yet, pedestrian accidents happen. Should you find yourself in a pedestrian accident, it’s critical to understand you should and can get treated right away.  Although many people are injured in auto accidents each and every day, there are also other types of accidents that can take place. For instance, pedestrians can sustain injuries from accidents involving automobiles, motorcycles, and trucks. 

It can happen before you know it. One moment, you’re walking along the street, and in the next moment, a car, motorcycle, or truck has struck you. The injuries resulting from a pedestrian accident can vary from mild to severe. For individuals who have experienced an injury as a pedestrian, it’s important to seek out medical attention as quickly as possible. Even if you do not believe you have sustained a serious injury, it’s still a good idea to get checked out and make certain there are no injuries that might not be immediately apparent.

Even if you are not sure you have sustained an injury, it’s still a good idea to contact Lyn Lake Chiropractic to schedule an evaluation. Our staff can perform a variety of assessments to evaluate your range of motion and check for injuries such as hip and pelvic misalignment and spinal injuries. 

In the event that we do detect any injuries, we will develop a customized treatment plan to ensure that these injuries heal properly and do not result in long-term pain and discomfort. This treatment plan may involve several in-office treatments as well as at-home exercises to promote healing and increase your range of motion.
