Auto Accident

Actions to Take

In cases of acute symptoms, contact 911 or proceed directly to the hospital. If you suspect you have sustained an injury, promptly inform your insurance company about the accident and your injury. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any inquiries.

Consider Receiving Chiropractic Care

The application of physical therapy and joint mobilization, including spinal manipulation and adjustment, stands out as a distinctive approach in the treatment of soft-tissue injuries. Chiropractors possess unique qualifications to address the mechanical and functional issues resulting from auto accidents. Consider it this way...

In the same manner that the mechanical force caused damage to your vehicle during a collision, the distorted and torn soft tissues in your body also demand a mechanical approach to restore the mobility of your spinal joints and the overall integrity of your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerve tissue through chiropractic care.

Prompt Action is Essential for Auto Accident Injuries!

Even a seemingly "minor" collision can lead to significant injuries such as ligament sprains. If left untreated, these injuries can potentially result in chronic pain and disability. Research has demonstrated that early intervention is the most effective approach to prevent enduring symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments and therapy prove their efficacy by aiding in the restoration of joint mechanical function and the promotion of a healthy and normal nervous system operation, all without the reliance on medications or surgical procedures.

Limited Timeframe

According to Florida law, an individual involved in an auto accident must seek medical attention within 14 days from the incident's date to have their claim covered by Personal Injury Protection “PIP” insurance. If you haven't undergone an examination by a healthcare professional (such as a chiropractor, medical doctor, or osteopathic physician) within this initial 14-day window, your PIP Insurance provider might not cover your treatment.

Delayed Pain Could Be Your Experience

Based on our observations, it is common for the aftermath of an accident to become noticeable days or even weeks afterward. Many of our patients have mentioned that they started feeling discomfort no earlier than 2 days and as late as 2 weeks after the accident. Seeking prompt treatment for these recent injuries can minimize scarring, enhance functionality, and increase the chances of a successful recovery.
