Have you been involved in a motor vehicle accident?
If so, chiropractic treatment should be considered.
Studies show that even low speed impacts can do more harm than you think.
Even if you've been to the emergency room since the accident, you may still have
soft tissue damage and spinal misalignments. Emergency room doctors are very
good at handling life threatening injuries, but if it's not a life threatening
situation it's not their area of expertise. That's where chiropractic excels.
Immediately following an injury like those sustained in automobile accidents,
our bodies produce massive amounts of endorphins and enkephalins to block pain.
These are very powerful chemicals that actually block pain receptors in the
body. It has been documented in literature that endorphins are as much as 10
times more powerful than morphine. These chemicals will stay in your system for
several hours after this type of injury. That's why it is common for you to feel
more sore the day after the injury. By then, these chemicals have had time to
wear off and the pain sets in.
Did you know that most automobile insurance will pay for chiropractic
treatments? In fact, it is very common for the patient to pay nothing out of
pocket for treatments at our office following an auto accident. If you've been
injured in this type of accident, call our office and explain your situation. We
will discuss with you what you need to know about your health care needs. We will
also try to help you work with the insurance company so that you can get the
care you need without paying out of your own pocket.
