Car Accidents

 

If you have been in an Auto Accident, immediate medical attention is imperative to your health. Whiplash is one of the most common consequences of automobile accidents. An estimated 35-50% will suffer neck pain after a collision. The rebound effect of whiplash causes injury to your soft tissue: muscles, ligaments, tendons and connective tissues. Whiplash can cause serious problems because it can lead to long term damage. This damage can be mild to severe and can lead to long term chronic pain and impairment. Studies show that 50% to 80% of whiplash sufferers may continue to suffer pain and some amount of disability for years after the accident. 

 
Some injuries happen so quickly, literally in 1/10th of a second, that ligaments and muscles are torn instantly with little immediate pain. If you've been in an accident, there's only one way to really know: visit an expert who is a specialist and detect whiplash injuries.

 

Chiropractors are the recognized leaders in caring for whiplash trauma, and medical studies have shown chiropractic care to be much more effective than traditional medical care.

 

 

Please keep in mind that there will be no out-of-pocket cost to you when you are injured in a motor vehicle accident like car, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents.
