Documented studies done by Charles Carroll, M.D., Paul McAtee, M.D., and Lee Riley, M.D., revealed that "the amount of damage to the automobile bears little relation to the force applied to the cervical spine (neck) of the occupants."
In other words, the damage to the passengers is not necessarily directly related to the damage to the vehicle. Thus, auto accident injuries need to be immediately evaluated by a qualified chiropractor like those found at Advanced Spine and Wellness.
We will immediately refer you for an MRI or any imaging studies necessary to evaluate the extent of your injuries. We also work exclusively with other local, qualified medical professionals, such as orthopedics and neurologists, to provide any additional necessary care.
You need a doctor who is experienced in providing the necessary care and diagnosis for auto accident injuries. Usually, hospitals will check vital signs, make sure there are no life-threatening conditions, and release the patient with pain medication. They normally do not provide healthcare for the underlying injuries that can often lead to future pain.
The care is comfortable and quite soothing. Our patients look forward to the care they receive during their office visits.
Yes. The care is safe and gentle. In fact, we have patients ranging from newborn infants and children to the elderly, who receive effective relief.
During the impact of an accident, your neck is forcibly "whipped" back and forth and side to side past its normal range of motion. As a result, whiplash injuries can affect the muscles and tissues in your back and neck. Stiffness, back pain, or neck pain can ensue immediately or take days, weeks, or even months to appear. It is crucial to treat whiplash immediately, even if you are not yet experiencing neck or back pain.
Headaches and migraines are common symptoms that can occur as a result of whiplash injuries or any type of motor vehicle injury. Headaches may appear when specific vertebrae in your neck are restricted and out of position due to the impact of an accident. Your head may hurt if your neck muscles are strained. Any injuries or trauma to your head can cause headaches and migraines. If you are experiencing headaches after your car accident, then you should be treated as soon as possible so that your headache pain does not become permanent.
At Advanced Spine and Wellness, we treat whiplash injuries to get you functional and back to normal.
After a car accident, pain and/or damage symptoms are frequently delayed. The soft tissues (muscles, tendons, discs, ligaments, etc.) are commonly stretched and/or sustain micro-tears in an automobile accident. This leads to an inflammatory reaction that takes time to build up in the soft tissue. Patients frequently use painkillers to conceal their initial symptoms; when these drugs wear off, they become aware of how much pain and stiffness they are experiencing.
At Advanced Spine Wellness, we are proud to offer DOT Physicals for those looking to renew their Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) certification. DOT Physicals are comprehensive physical examinations required by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
This exam is designed to ensure that commercial motor vehicle drivers are physically qualified to work safely and follow all DOT regulations. Our DOT Physical exams are performed by certified medical professionals and include an evaluation of the driver's vision, hearing, blood pressure, urine sample, cardiovascular health, and overall physical condition. DOT Physicals must be done every two years in order to stay compliant with DOT regulations.
