FAQ
What are some common auto accident injuries that you treat?
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries we see at our clinic. This type of injury occurs when the soft tissues surrounding the spine get damaged. This damage is usually due to the spine being thrust forward at the time of impact. Neck pain and stiffness, some of the most common symptoms of whiplash, often don’t occur until a day or two following the accident.
Herniated and slipped discs also occur frequently as a result of car accidents. With this type of injury, one or more of the fluid-filled discs located between the vertebrae become forced out of place due to the impact of the accident. Disc injuries can be incredibly painful, often resulting in sharp pain along the spinal column.
How does chiropractic care address auto accident injuries?
Chiropractic care is the optimal way to address auto accident injuries such as whiplash and herniated/bulging discs. That’s because these chiropractic techniques are natural, non-invasive and gentle.
What if I’m just experiencing minor pain?
Even if you feel that your pain isn’t too bad, it is still a good idea to get a comprehensive chiropractic evaluation. Many musculoskeletal injuries such as whiplash do not cause severe pain right away. It may be several weeks before chronic pain develops. Coming in for a diagnostic exam as soon as possible after your accident will ensure your injuries are fully diagnosed and treated.
Can I use car insurance claims settlements to pay for services at your office?
If you get a car insurance settlement as a result of your injuries, we can accept this as a form of payment for your chiropractic care. We also are happy to accept most health insurance plans.
