This is Dr. Lyle R Van Hemert of Align Chiropractic at 3508 S. Western Ave in Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57105. This video deals with one of the most common and frustrating health problems in America today, auto accidents.
A study shows that even small collisions of 5 mph can cause pain and symptoms
This statistic is absolutely frightening and can be difficult to believe. One of the main reason you injured in a small collision is simply the difference in weight between the car and you. The car weighs so much more than you that when it is hit and/or stop suddenly you are instantaneously and violently moved in the vehicle. A simple example would be how a toddler could be seriously injured if run into by an adult that was jogging 5 miles an hour.
Insurance companies have read all of these studies including arthritic changes happening several years later
The American Insurance Industry knows full well about the long-term effects of automobile accidents. The have experts that read all the literature. They have experts that understand the effects of a large vehicle either coming to a quick stop or accelerating after getting hit in the damage it can be done to you, the occupant of the vehicle. As a business decision it is in their best interest to get you to settle as quickly as you can. I personally had an insurance company call up my patient after the second visit and offer them settlement. The patient was working a low paying job and the insurance company offered them $1000 to settle on the spot. My patient took the offer and settled. When I asked the patient why they settled when they were still having pain the patient simply said they wanted the money to be able to buy a new TV. My question to you would simply be what is your health worth in the long run? Is it a new TV?
Insurance companies have hundreds of attorneys working for them
If you’re involved in an automobile accident you need the care from the beginning as you do not want to become one of the nearly 80% of people who have pain 10 years later. If you feel that the insurance company is pressuring you to settle too quickly you have every right to seek legal counsel of your own to help protect your rights. There are several competent attorneys that deal with this issue in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Why Chiropractic Care After an Automobile Accident
When you’ve had an automobile accident you had mechanical damage done to your spine by the rapid acceleration/deceleration. Simply put, mechanical damage needs mechanical care to fix it. You would never take medication to fix a mechanical problem such as a broken bone. You may go the doctor to get pain medicine to help control your pain from the broken bone but the treatment for it is to mechanically reset the bone and then put a cast on it while it heals. Here at Align Chiropractic in Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57105 we here to help you heal correctly after an automobile accident. Chiropractic care has been shown to be very effective in dealing with automobile accidents.
