The first question of every person ever in a car accident, no matter how minor, is of medical treatment.
There are many minor fender bender car accidents where you may think “I am fine, it was just a minor accident”. Any injuries you might have sustained may allow you to walk away from the scene of the accident feeling ok, but you have to remember that your body is currently sending out fight or flight hormones to keep you going and protect you. The next couple of days following the accident you begin to feel the impact.
In Florida you have only 14 days under PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage on your auto insurance to initiate medical treatment. If it is not started within that range your bills become your own and must come out of pocket. Auto accidents are covered under your insurance policy’s PIP.
Even if you have walked away from an accident, you may notice soreness or pain in your back, neck, ribs, chest, and even knee, ankle, arm, shoulder, or wrists.
Do not speak with any insurance personnel regarding your physical state before you are evaluated. Wrong wording or just casually off handedly saying “I feel ok” or “I am fine” can affect a future settlement decision.
Visiting your chiropractor for an exam and adjustment following an accident can save you pain in the future. No matter how low of a speed you may have been going, even a slow impact at 10mph can throw you out of alignment causing soft tissue damage.
In the days following the accident you may notice:
- Headaches
- Neck Pain
- Shoulder Pain
- Low Back Pain
- Dizziness
- Concussion
- Throbbing sensations
- Sciatica
- Confused/Foggy feelings
- Burning
- Knee Pain
- Radicular pain
These conditions can be treated naturally with chiropractic and other manual treatments such as ice/heat, electrical stimulation, decompression, and massage.

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate… That is the question. There has been much debate. Though the idea of inoculation is very valid, as vaccines stand with all added ingredients, the evidence is mounting that it does potentially far more harm than good and should be avoided.

$29,000,000,000. That is how much whiplash treatments cost in the USA alone per year. Often the result of a rear-end collision whiplash is incredibly painful and may take years to fully recover from. Patients report flare-ups of pain even years after the incident that caused it.
