Every person in the United States is involved an auto
accident every seven years. I’ve been
blessed in that someone has been taking my turns for me, but for those of you
that are filling your own quota, some information might be useful.
First of all, if the accident is not your fault, you deserve
to be returned as close to the condition you were in before the injury as
possible, at no expense to yourself.
This is why we carry insurance – to cover our own expenses for damage
that we sustain and also for any others for whom it is determined that we are
responsible. You’ve paid for the
insurance and you deserve the coverage.
Second,
it is your privilege to select the doctor and the treatment regimen which you
prefer, and chiropractic care, along with the LazrPulsr® laser is an excellent, proven strategy for
optimal recovery from dramatic injuries.
While an attorney may feel more comfortable working with some doctors
than others, he will not insist that you must go to a particular chiropractor,
and any insurance company that says you must go to a particular doctor is
breaking the law, and ripe for legal action.
Third,
research shows that you can be just as badly injured in a low-speed (five to 10
mph) impact, as in a collision at a speed of 30 mph, due to the way that
impact-absorbing bumpers are designed to operate.
Fourth,
most symptoms may not show up for six months to two years after the
accident. Insurance companies recognize
this and often try any means necessary to coerce you into settling the claim as
quickly as possible.
When
the spine is injured, it is rare to have bones fractured. Rather, the supporting soft-tissue structures
(muscles, tendons, ligaments, discs, connective tissue, etc.) are stretched and
torn, so that the vertebrae are unable to maintain their correct position. The nerve roots in those areas, already
injured in the crash, are further irritated by the misaligned condition of the
vertebrae, leading to as many different kinds of symptoms as there are nerves.
Chiropractic
care is designed to maintain the vertebrae in their correct position as the
damage heals, minimizing both the temporary symptoms and the long-term effects
of the whiplash injury. ‘Cold’ Laser
therapy encourages the body to heal itself more quickly and with less pain by
encouraging cellular healing. At Val Vista Chiropractic, we incorporate
this therapy in our treatments to get you healthy and healing more quickly. The
LazrPulsr® laser has a
Whiplash protocol, specifically targeted to speed healing as rapidly as
possible.
The
wisest course is to get to Val Vista Chiropractic as soon as possible after an
automobile accident. We will be able to
evaluate your needs, provide appropriate chiropractic and therapeutic care
(including the ‘cold’ laser), and get you back to optimal recovery and health
as quickly as your body is capable of doing.
Getting rid of your pain,
Dr. Steven Ray, Chiropractor
Val Vista Chiropractic
