Whiplash Car Accident

You just experienced Whiplash and other injuries in a Car Accident!

What should you do--Now?

Your quick action, immediately after a Car Accident, can save you considerable Pain, Inflammation, Stress and MONEY, if you call Secrest Family Chiropractic, PC for an appointment-------480-994-4411.

· MONEY & Financial Stress—in most cases, there is No Out-Of-Pocket Cost to you, if the accident is not your fault or if you have adequate Med-Pay insurance. Some restrictions on this policy may apply.

· Physical Stress, Pain & Inflammation—the sooner you receive treatment to correct any structural misalignment in your spine & neck (Whiplash), the shorter your recovery time will usually be. With this goal in mind, we offer:

o Therapeutic massage of the traumatized soft tissue, surrounding the misaligned structural area, to ease your pains, spasms and inflammation.

o Koren Specific Technique (KST), is a low-impact specific adjustment of the traumatized spinal structure and soft tissue area, usually administered in the “position of pain or injury.” In the case of an auto injury, this is usually in the sitting or standing position—which also minimizes stress on your body. Injuries to your feet, ankles, legs, knees, arms, wrists and hands can also be adjusted.

o Low Level Light Laser—a non-invasive treatment (sometimes called Cold Laser) of the traumatized soft tissue, to help relieve pain and inflammation. This treatment has also been used to accelerate the healing process at a cellular level (pre/post surgery).

o Corrective Action Taping Technique (CATT)—also known as Kinesio Taping, is frequently applied after your chiropractic adjustment to help retrain soft tissue that has be distorted by the impact of the car accident. It is also used as a lymphatic treatment for pain and inflammation, without impairing range of motion. You may have seen this technique used in the recent Olympics, to help athletes with soft tissue injuries continue to perform at championship levels.

o Cranial Manipulation—80% of your nervous system is located in the cranium. This is the nerve center than controls the entire body. A trauma to the head during an accident can cause headaches, eye & ear pain, TMJ pain, depression and stress. It can affect smell, cause “brain fog” and severely affect your balance. Adjustments to the cranial bones are quick and quite comfortable—yet very powerful. They can make a huge difference in your quality of life and help restore the delicate balance of all systems throughout your entire body. The treatment is a true conversion of Pain to Power.

What Your Insurance Carrier

Won’t Tell You About Low Impact 

Motor Vehicle Collisions

“Ask for our Free 12-Page Report--

—Take it to Your Attorney.”

You have brought your car to a full stop, at a red light and turned your head slightly, to reach for a bottle of water in the consol besides you. Suddenly, you are rear-ended and your car lunges forward. You get out of the car to inspect for damages and note a small dent in your bumper. You are asked if you are hurt and you are about to make one of the biggest mistakes of your life. “No, I feel fine.” You might add, “I’m just a little shook up, but I am glad to see there is so little damage to my car.”

A few days, weeks, months or as much as a year later, your neck begins to hurt. You have sustained a Whiplash. This is why we suggest that you immediately visit our office after a car accident, no matter how minor you may think it is. You see, most whiplash accidents occur in as little as 250 msec. and are more severe without muscle control and with the neck turned sideways and down (when you reached for that bottle of water). Here are a few quotes from the report that you should find of interest: 

· “…the smaller the vehicle damage, the greater the kinetic energy available to cause injury. This effect is especially relevant in low speed rear impacts.”

· “The development of safety or ‘no-damage’ bumpers…are designed specifically to minimize vehicle damage in low speed rear impact collisions, and there is clear evidence that insurance property losses have decreased dramatically.”

· “Studies clearly indicate that such vehicles can withstand a reasonably high-speed impact with little or no accompanying vehicle damage. Unfortunately, when vehicle damage energy is reduced, the energy is transferred into the kinetic energy that causes patient injury.”

There is considerable more information in this report to help you refute the claims of an adjuster. Your attorney should have a copy for your defense. We will be happy to share this report, which is replete with documented research. Just give us a call. Be sure to tell others about this report too, so they may have the benefit of your foreknowledge.

Speaking of foreknowledge, be sure to also ask for a copy of our brochure, “Auto Accident Check List.” This is a “To Do List” that will save you much time and trouble, if you are unfortunate enough to be in an auto accident. You should have one in the glove compartment of every auto in your family. Lastly, don’t forget about adding a Med-Pay Rider, to your current auto insurance policy. For as little as $50 per year, you can have a benefit of up to $5,000, to pay medical bills if you are in an accident. This is one of the best and cheapest “stress relievers” you can get—and we all know what stress can do to your body’s health.
