Underwood Chiropractic understands the problems with being
involved in an auto accident. Aside from the pain and inconvenience,
we know about the paperwork hassles and rules and regulations and
how it often makes no sense to most people when they're simply
trying to recover. That's why we handle everything for our auto
injury clients.
If you're making an insurance claim from a car accident and you
come in to Underwood Chiropractic to start your treatment, we'll
deal with your insurance company, fill in all the forms, send in all
the paperwork and bill them directly. You don't have to pay anything
up front.
Whether your injury is neck-related, back-related, or maybe it's
just all over; whether you're suffering from whiplash or getting
ongoing headaches and/or migraines; come see us at Underwood
Chiropractic, sooner rather than later, and let us take care of you
AND the details.
 Car
crashes, collisions, and minor fender benders are the major causes
of whiplash. The ill effects of a whiplash injury can occur
instantly or it could be weeks or even months before symptoms occur.
Injuries to the neck caused by a sudden movement (head forward,
back, or sideways) is commonly referred to as "whiplash" or
"acceleration/deceleration injuries".
These forces result in straining of muscles, ligaments, and tendons,
and in turn, can result in injuries to the spine causing nerve
irritation (pinched spinal nerves). The results of such injuries can
cause neck pain, shoulder and arm pain or numbness, elbow and hand
pain or numbness, low back pain, headaches, dizziness, and blurred
vision. The injured areas lose the ability to function and loss of
range of motion (stiffness) occurs. The body attempts to adapt and
symptoms can appear anywhere from the instant the injury occurred
until weeks or even months later.
Pain is an indicator that a problem exists within our body.
Without pain, our bodies could not tell us that there is an injury
and that something is wrong. Most minor to moderate whiplash
injuries are overlooked by the patient, the hospital, and even the
patient's family medical provider due to the lack of initial pain.
Several months after the injury, when the patient continues to have
pain or it worsens, most people begin to realize that the injury
they sustained is worse then they imagined.
