Tips About Automobile Crashes:

Always remember that if any insurance company recommends another doctor, that doctor either works for them or may not have the patient's best interest at heart. The recommended doctor may not be an automobile crash injury specialist and will not provide you with the best possible treatment or documentation for your injuries. Remember, No documentation…No Treatment…No Settlement.

Get an Attorney. Don’t try to go this alone, especially if you have been in a previous accident. There are serious medical legal issues involved in your case and you need someone to represent your legal interest. 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.

Top five automobile crash myths:
1. Just because the ER said "nothing life threatening, your OK go home" doesn't  mean you don't have a real problem that needs to be treated 
2. Injuries heal in 6-12 weeks
3. Auto damage = Injury so Greater damage = Greater injury
4. Air bags can't hurt you like that... Yes they can. 
5. Injuries untreated heal on their own

Insurance companies and their defense lawyers try to reduce the amount of money an automobile crash victim may receive by using all of the above myths.

Why Chiropractic Care?
After an auto accident the body often swells with edema as the body tries to stabilize injured areas. Also the injured body, at the cellular level has possibly thousands of micro (small) tears of the muscles, ligaments and tendons. This limits range of motion and causes pain. These are called strains and sprains. What's interesting is that strains and sprains often take longer to heal than a broken bone. Chiropractic treatment helps restore the body to its original normal state. We help restore range of motion and function. Results of course vary based on your injuries and other factors such as how long you wait to get care.

Left untreated many injuries can turn chronic (pain for years). Do not let your injuries develop into a chronic condition that will be bothersome for the rest of your life.
