It doesn’t take much. You’re going 8 miles an hour though a parking lot and another car taps you from behind.
The next day, your neck is achy, your fingers are tingling, and you have a headache.
When people think of injuries from car accidents, they usually think of a crazy roll over or high speed collision,
but whiplash injuries can happen in low speed accidents when your car is put through an abrupt deceleration or acceleration.
The muscles and ligaments are stretched to unnatural lengths and compressed at rapid rates, causing sprains in the muscles,
strains in the tendons, and sometimes even small tears to the ligaments. Not to mention all the
weird symptoms from whiplash.
The symptoms can be subtle or dramatic, yet they often don’t just go away on their own, and if ignored, you may still be feeling
that rush hour fender bender a few years down the road (trust me, I’ve been there).
With the right referral, your personal injury protection will cover a certain amount of massage, chiropractic care,
and/or physical therapy to help you get back to feeling like your pre-collision self.
As an expert in whiplash symptoms and post-motor vehicle accident recovery, I can help you navigate your post-accident care.
I even do all the insurance billing for you, so you don’t have to worry about submitting super bills for reimbursement.
1. A referral from a doctor (MD, DC, or DPT).
If you don’t have a doctor you’re working with yet, consider Dr. Trent and
Dr. Danielle at
Spine & Sport Health.
2. A claim number from your insurance
3. Date of injury
4. Your insurance company’s name, address, and phone (car insurance only)
