Auto Injuries
Auto Injuries
According to the Insurance Research Council, nearly 1/3 of all claimants injured in motor vehicle accidents (MVA's) seek treatment from doctors of chiropractic. This is an impressive number given that the National Safety Council (NSC) has determined there to be more than 12 million MVA's annually involving more than 20 million vehicles.
The reason individuals like yourself choose chiropractic care for treatment of injuries sustained in MVA's is simple—chiropractic care is exceptional in the treatment of soft tissue injuries, especially of the spine. Since the most common injuries associated with MVA's are sprains and strains of the spinal muscles and ligaments, it's only natural that chiropractic be the treatment of choice.
Many studies have also found individuals injured in MVA's prefer chiropractic care for the treatment of their injuries. One such study evaluated 190 whiplash injury victims and found those who received chiropractic care reported treatment satisfaction of 100%.
Why Choose Southeast Family Chiropractic for your auto injury treatment?
When choosing a chiropractor to treat your injuries after an auto accident, there are some things you need to consider...
Diagnosis - It is important to evaluate the damage done to your spine. In order to do this an x-ray is usually recommended. We have an x-ray machine on site so you don't need to be inconvenienced by going to an outside facility to get this done. Sometimes, we aren't able to or choose not to do x-rays (pregnancy, children, etc.). In those cases, we have a non-invasive technique called Myovision, which detects nerve interference by a process called paraspinal thermography.
Treatment - In addition to the chiropractic adjustment, we also have additional therapy modalities such as interferential electrostim and ultrasound therapy. These additional therapies are important in treating the initial pain symptoms and soft tissue injuries that occur after a car accident.
Payment - Whether you decide to get an attorney or decide to just work with your insurance company, we have experience with both. We will document your case thoroughly and rarely have problems receiving payment for your care. Some offices will make you pay for your services out of your own pocket and wait to be reimbursed by the insurance company (which can take up to a year or more). In our office, we simply have you sign a lien that says you agree to reimburse us after the insurance company pays you, or they just pay us directly. Either way, you don't have to pay out of your own pocket.
If you have ANY questions or would like to schedule an appointment, we would be happy to help you!
