Insurance companies know whiplash is real. This year in the U.S. there will be 3.6 million more victims, and about half of them will never fully recover. There are tremendous forces involved in accident related injuries that cause life time pain. People have made fun of accident related injuries because they can’t see blood after most accidents. They assume if they don’t see bleeding there are no injuries. This is not true. How Can You Be Hurt In A Denver Car Accident? If you get rear-ended at 30 miles an hour and you don’t see it coming, your car will be driven violently forward. In a split second your neck will be forced backward over the head rest. There will be serious ripping and tearing of the muscles, ligaments, and tendons that hold the front of your neck together. Then the back of your head will bounce off the back of the seat. This causes the vertebrae or neck bones to lose their proper alignment. It can cause paralysis or death at speeds less than 30 miles an hour. How Would You Know If You're Injured In A Denver Car Accident? You might notice a sore neck, but not necessarily right after the accident. I had an accident years ago and noticed my neck was sore some weeks after. I walked away from the wreck thinking I was o.k., I felt a little shook up but thought I was fine. I didn’t know it but I was having symptoms from the crash. In my case, the soreness in my neck was followed by headaches and I still wasn’t sure if I wanted to tell anyone about it. Unfortunately for me the problem did not go away, it’s gone on to become a lifelong injury that I’m aware of when I’m stressed, fatigued or overexert myself. I have soreness and stiffness in the neck and shoulder area from the accident I suffered years ago. Had I seen a good chiropractor, I’m sure I would not have these problems. What Do Denver Accident Victims Usually Go Through? Sometimes people go to the emergency room after an accident. The emergency room doctors may x-ray them and remark “there’s nothing broken.” They might be prescribed anti-inflammatory pills, like ibuprofen. They then go home and hope their pain goes away. Typically over time they can notice;
The above symptoms may take weeks and months to appear and unfortunately can become lifelong pains. How Do Denver Car Accident Injuries Affect Lives? Some are unable to work and they become depressed as they’ve lost their purpose in life. They are disheartened because they are unable to provide for their family as they could before the crash. Do Denver Accident Victims Get Proper Care? All too often people wait too long to get adequate care and receive the wrong care when they finally do. They might receive massage for example, which does nothing to help realign the vertebrae. Accidents throw the back and neck bones violently out of place and taking pills or drugs won't restore the spine either. The same is true of ultrasound, muscle stimulation, and most therapeutic exercises as well. Accidents force the spine out of alignment and unless the spine is properly aligned, the accident victim won’t get well. What Should Be Done to Help Denver Injuries? At our accident rehabilitation center we do an exhaustive history. We ask questions that very often uncover symptoms that patients take for granted or have learned to live with. We follow this with a careful examination consisting of over 116 tests. We perform advanced x-ray studies that reveal injuries the emergency room may have missed. Later we sit with the victim and their family and go over the findings of the exam. We show x-rays to patients and compare their films with those of normal people so they can see the difference. Most importantly, the care we provide gently realigns the bones of the spine. We use a special hand held electric impulse adjusting device that’s F.D.A. registered and UL approved, so you know it’s safe. People report that it feels very gentle and often gives them relief as early as the first application. We hold the highest ratings in the region for this particular care. What If Denver Accident Injuries Are Left Alone? If Denver whiplash is left to heal on its own, all too often the spine will heal poorly. It will mend with lots of scar tissue and poor alignment. The scar tissue creates pain and stiffness. This leads to poor mobility and is followed by accelerated arthritic changes to the neck and back. Unfortunately when it gets to this point the problem is permanent and causes lifetime pain. The joints break down and victims feel old before their time. How Can Denver Car Accident Victims Afford Care? Insurance pays for the care at our center. We enjoy good relationships with insurance companies. If you don’t have insurance our staff is trained to find other resources for you. In many cases of accident our care will cost you nothing out of pocket. You don’t need permission from your insurance company or attorney to come to us. Why Should Denver Car Accident Victims Choose Our Center For Care?
