The first step to getting better is to understand what condition or injury you need to have
treated. Once that is established, learn about our procedures to improve or resolve your
condition or injury.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
One of the most stressful events in life is dealing with the issues that occur after
an auto accident. The first thing a person thinks about after the crash is the car.
Most people are not aware that some injuries are not detected for months or even
years. Two things result in these situations: an insurance company settles with the
victim without compensating for the pain and reatment needed from these
undiagnosed injuries, and the injury gets worse over time due to the lack or delay
of treatment. It is absolutely imperative that anybody that is in an auto accident
immediately go see a provider trained in Functional Evaluation. According to the
Insurance Research Council, nearly 1/3 of all claimants injured in motor vehicle
accidents seek treatment from doctors of chiropractic. The reason people choose
chiropractic care for treatment of injuries sustained in auto accidents is simple –
chiropractic care is exceptional in the treatment of soft tissue injuries, especially
of the spine. Since the most common injuries associated with these events are
sprains and strains of the spinal muscles and ligaments, it’s only natural that
chiropractic be the treatment of choice. Chiropractors are the primary care
doctors trained specifically in dealing with injuries to the spine.That number is
astounding when combined with the fact that the National Safety Council (NSC)
has determined there to be more than 12 million accidents annually involving
more than 20 million vehicles. It's important for you to know that even "minor"
accidents often lead to major injuries. Have an examination performed by a
trained specialist. The Motor Vehicle insurance in most incidents will cover the
cost. If you've experienced any MVA related symptoms or injuries in the last few
months, please call today to discuss your case. Our consultation might just change
your life.
Workers Compensation
Have you been involved in a work related incident recently? Have you had a bad
fall? Did you hurt yourself while on the job while performing your regular work
requirements? If so, did you know you can get all your exams and treatment paid
for, in most circumstances? Our staff will be able to help determine what your
rights are when you call. Our office is a participating provider for many local
company panels. Your company is required under the Workers compensation act to
provide a list of at least 6 providers. If your company’s list fails to include a
Chiropractor, and you suffer a work related injury for which Chiropractic reatment
is appropriate, then you can seek immediate care at our office and have it paid for
by your company’s workers compensation insurer. You have been involved in a very
serious event. I have over 40 years experience treating hundreds of people who've
been involved in work related injuries. The sooner the threatment the greater the
chance of a favorable outcome. Most Chiropractors do not perform functional
testing. I not only perform functional testing, I teach this important diagnostic
tool to chiropractors. It's important for you to know that even "minor" accidents
often lead to major injuries. Have an examination performed by a trained
specialist. The workers compensation insurance in most incidents will cover the
cost. If you've experienced any work related accidents or injuries in the
last few months, please call today to discuss your case. Our consultation might
just change your life.
Conditions
Our office treats all types of neuromuculoskeletal
injuries and conditions of the Head, Neck, Shoulder,
Wrist, Hand, Mid Back, Low Back, Hip, Buttocks,
Knee, Ankle and Foot. We strive to provide our
patients with quality, conservative, and cost
effective health care and to treat each patient and
their concerns with the same respect, kindness, and
attention as we would desire for ourselves."
Personally I believe in the age old adage, "Physician,
Heal Thyself." Keeping that philosophy in mind, I
strive to maintain my own ideal body weight by
working out regularly, taking frequent walks, limiting
my intake of sugars, alcohol and saturated fats as
well as keeping my mind focused on staying up to
date with the latest in Chiropractic and healthcare
sciences.
In the words of a New Zealand government study,
“Chiropractic is remarkably safe.” Critics, skeptics
and those who misunderstand chiropractic often
use safety as a way to discourage people from
considering chiropractic. Virtually any type of
intervention has risks of some type associated
with it. We look for ways to reduce risk by being
mindful of rare situations in which chiropractic
care may be contraindicated. The training,
experience and thorough examinations conducted
by chiropractors provide reassurance. If chiropractic
sounds promising, we encourage you to have a
firsthand experience in our practice. It’s easy to get
started. With new patient openings throughout the
