Graffeo, and Dr. Michael Malone, is committed to providing care for patients following auto accident injuries. We aim to ensure that you feel informed and comfortable as you begin your healing journey.

Initial Assessment

During your first consultation, the primary focus will be on assessing your condition. Our chiropractors will take a detailed medical history, including information about the accident, your symptoms, and any previous injuries. This thorough assessment helps us understand your unique situation and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Physical Examination

Following the initial assessment, a comprehensive physical examination will be conducted. This examination may include tests to evaluate your range of motion, strength, and reflexes. By identifying any areas of pain or discomfort, our team can pinpoint the source of your injuries and determine the best course of action for your recovery.

Diagnostic Imaging

In some cases, diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or MRIs may be necessary to gain a clearer understanding of your injuries. These imaging techniques allow us to visualize any structural damage and ensure that we address all aspects of your condition. If imaging is required, our team will guide you through the process and explain the results in detail.

Treatment Plan Discussion

Once we have gathered all the necessary information, we will discuss your personalized treatment plan. This plan may include chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and other modalities to promote healing and alleviate pain. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge about your treatment options and involve you in the decision-making process.
