Motor Vehicle Accidents

Most drivers, at some point in their travels, will be involved in a motor vehicle accident or car wreck or crash, what ever you wish to call it. Most instances are relatively benign; you backed into someone at the mall, a little minor damage, and all was well. Others are less fortunate, and their mishap is bit more severe. In any case, you were injured; whether you knew it, or not!

An injury during a motor vehicle accident isn’t necessarily evident. You may not have been taken away by an ambulance, but your neck was a little stiff the next day, you got a massage and dismissed it; or, you didn’t notice anything at all, but in a few years you’re gonna feel it.

An example…
Your head weighs about as much as a bowling ball. If all of your muscles are functioning correctly and are stable, your head is relatively weightless on your neck and shoulders and is quite secure. Unfortunately, most people don’t fall into this category, and any little unanticipated movement can shift the weight of your head and cause serious trauma to the muscles and tissues holding it up. When you’re in even a minor accident, this is exactly what happens…it’s generally known as “whiplash”.

Advanced Chiropractic care following an accident of any magnitude, can work to stabilize the affected area; this helps to reduce any immediate pain and discomfort, while allowing the body the ability to start the repair process. Seeing a chiropractic doctor is crucial after an accident because these types of conditions don’t just go away, these injuries will hang around, and intensify. As time goes on, it gets more difficult to treat not only the original problem, but any additional conditions the injury has progressed into also become harder to manage and cope with.

After any accident, it’s usually a pretty good idea to immediately visit an urgent care or emergency room or your family M.D. in order to rule out anything of a life-threatening nature.

We accept most auto insurance PIP claims!
In case you aren't aware, most auto insurance policy's carry what is known as Personal Injury Protection or "PIP" coverage.  Your PIP coverage is designed to pay for some initial medical expenses (such as Advanced Chiropractic care or Massage Therapy) after a motor vehicle accident.  Most PIP plans pay for between $2500 and $5000 of care per person in the vehicle at the time of the accident, depending on your policy.  This coverage is shared between any health care providers you see about your accident who wish to file medical bills against your PIP, so the sooner you see us after an accident, the more Advanced Chiropractic and Massage care you can receive on the insurance company's dime!
