Whiplash from Auto Accident Trauma: Neck, Low back Pain HELPED! Dr. Sal...

Following a whiplash auto accident injury, it is important to get checked by a chiropractor even if you don't have pain.  Sometimes pain does not present itself right away.  It may take several days to several weeks until the full manifestation of the accident becomes apparent.  Getting a check-up soon after an accident will help determine the extent of your injuries, if any.  Another reason you should get in for a check-up soon after a collision is because in the event that the pain presents itself later, the adjuster may argue that there was never any medical documentation of a possible injury and then use that against you in a settlement.  In fact many attorneys I know will not accept a case if the client waited more than two weeks to seek medical care.  For more information feel free to contact Dr. Salse at drsalse@salsechiropractic.com.

Can Whiplash Pain Be Alleviated With Chiropractic?

One BIG mistake people make after being in a car accident.

Many Californians are under the illusion that they have enough auto insurance coverage.  For example, if someone hits your vehicle and they do not have insurance, your insurance will not pay for the damage unless you have UM  or uninsured insurance coverage.  Uninsured motorist coverage in most cases will protect you however, if there are no witnesses or a police report, your insurance company may question the validity of your accident and may not pay.  Therefor, if you are hit by another vehicle be sure to pull out you phone camera and get statements from witnesses if possible.  Filing a police report, taking pictures of the vehicles, and getting a video statement from the other driver help as well.  If you have more questions, feel free to email me at drsalse@salsechiropractic.com
