Automobile Injuries

Chiropractic care is exceptional in the treatment of soft tissue injuries, especially of the spine.

One of the most stressful events in life is dealing with the issues that occur after an auto accident. The first thing a person thinks about after the accident is the car. Most people are not aware that some injuries are not detected for weeks or even months. Two things usually happen. First, the insurance company settles with the victim without compensating for the pain and treatment needed from these undiagnosed injuries. Second, the injury gets worse over time due to the lack or delay of treatment.

It is absolutely imperative that anybody that is in an auto accident immediately seek the services of a chiropractor even after emergency room care. A typical patient in our office is someone who has been involved in an automobile accident 10 to 15 years ago and did not get the proper treatment for their injuries.

Often times, an individual does not see a medical professional or file a claim to their auto insurance carrier for fear of their premiums going up. Many people have medical benefits (medpay) included in their automobile policies and don't even realize it. Medpay is exactly like health insurance, using it does not cause your premiums to increase. If the accident is not your fault, medpay doesn't relieve the other party from having to pay in full for your loss.

In most cases with the use of med-pay, a personal injury attorney is not required. The insurance policy will cover most or all costs. This will only happen if medical assistance is sought immediately after the accident though.

If we can't help the patient, we will refer them to a doctor or facility that can. If you have been in an auto accident recently, there are some important decisions you have to make, and it is critical to make the first decision be to be evaluated by a doctor of chiropractic and get under care immediately.

Client Testimonials

I had a car accident that resulted in chronic neck and back pain with headaches three to four times per week. I highly recommend this kind of care. My only regret is that I did not begin sooner. - Michele H.

For two years I was having difficulty holding my head up [due to the] pain in my neck and upper back. Dr. Kris actually listened to what I had to say about the problems I was having. He worked with me and actually made me feel like a person again without taking prescriptions. I can move my neck better now than I have been able to in years and the pain is almost nonexistent. I've also regained the feeling back in my right forearm after being numb for two years! - Stephen C.
