Auto Accidents

Whether it was a minor fender bender or a much more severe collision, your health is the most important thing to consider following an auto accident. This can be a very stressful time, between getting the car fixed to dealing with insurance companies, but it is very important to make sure your spine has not been injured.

People in "minor accidents" with little to no damage to their car often minimize their own injuries. Research shows that occupants can suffer from severe injuries that are not easily noticeable.

After an accident you may have visited the emergency room or your general practitioner to make sure you didn't have broken bones or any life- threatening injuries. As long as there is no immediate threat to your life, you were probably prescribed pain medication, anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxers. The problem with taking those medications following an accident is that most injuries sustained during an accident are soft tissue related and are not always visible on x-rays. Soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, discs and nerves. If the only treatment for these injuries is medication, scar tissue and adhesions can form limiting the proper motion needed for healthy nerves and muscles.

You need to be evaluated by a health professional that truly understands soft tissue injuries, spinal biomechanics and rehabilitation procedures. We strive for perfection in every aspect of auto accident care; from delivering top notch chiropractic, massage and rehab techniques to locating or working with attorneys and insurance companies. We hope to put the accident behind you, so that you can live life the way it was before the accident.
