The Best Choice You Will Make After Your Auto Accident Injury

If you have been in an auto accident, no matter how fast you were traveling or how fast the other vehicle was traveling, the laws of physics dictate that there is always a transference of energy.  Just like a baseball bat hitting a baseball, the energy from one vehicle is transferred into the other vehicle.

Unfortunately, the vehicle occupants absorb a lot of this energy, causing "whiplash" injuries to the head, neck, shoulders and upper back.  "We call this type of injury whiplash, because it is the same motion that you would use to crack a whip.  Research has shown that your head can accelerate up to 11 G-Forces in a collision under 15 mph", declares Dr. Drew D. Kycynka, of the Auto Injury Relief Center at Coastal Chiropractic Dunedin.  He adds that, "one G-Force equals 32 ft/sec. (about 22 mph), so 11 G-Forces equals (about 242 mph)".  

"It's really difficult for someone to understand the extent of damage that occurs to the head, neck and shoulders in a low speed collision.  There is always tearing of the muscles, ligaments, discs or joint capsules that surround and support the spine.  These tissues heal very, very slowly and your body wants to lay down a lot of scar tissue during the repair process.  With our special techniques, we can gently restore normal mobility to the injured joint tissues, allowing a more normal healing process without all the scar tissue.  This is what makes us the premier choice after a auto accident.  The people who let things heal on their own, usually end up with some type of permanency or chronic pain".

"Seeking immediate treatment as soon a possible after an injury is crucial to complete healing and recovery.  Your body will start laying down scar tissue 4 hours after an injury and will continue for a minimum of 4 months", states Dr. Drew.

If you or someone you know has been injured in an auto accident, you only have 14 days from the date of your accident to seek treatment to receive PIP benefits from your insurance company.
