Tips About Automobile Crashes:

Always remember that if any insurance company recommends another doctor, that doctor either works for them or does not have the patient's best interest in mind. The recommended doctor may not be an automobile crash injury specialist and will not provide you with the best possible treatment for your injuries.

Never talk to the other parties insurance company, they may want to offer you a quick settlement without giving you a chance to have your injuries treated. Remember they work for the insurance company and not you.

You can only receive compensation for your automobile crash injuries if you have your injuries treated and most importantly documented. Follow your doctors care plan and do not miss scheduled appointments. Your doctor is the only one that can determine if you have fully recovered from your injuries. Never let anyone else persuade you to stop treatment.

Did You Know the Following about Whiplash Injuries?

• Most injuries occur at speeds under 12 MPH
• Most vehicles sustain no structural damage
• More than half of the vehicles involved in low speed rear impact collisions sustain no damage

To sum it all up, this means that most injuries from automobile crashes are a result of crashes at low speeds with little to no damage to the vehicle. What is most important is that these facts are all supported by documented research.

2. Injuries heal in 6-12 weeks

Why Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic treatment restores the spine from a state of limited range of motion to normal and full range of motion. When the spine cannot move with the normal range of motion, proper nutrients which are located around the joint cannot enter the injured joint and help the body fully recover from the injuries. Chiropractic adjustments maintain the proper motion so all of the body's healing nutrients can enter into the joint and assist with healing. When left untreated the injured joint can develop disc degeneration and osteoarthritis.
