Denver Chiropractic - Car Accidents

“When I had my car accident I did not think I was ever going to be the same again. It seemed like no one was going to help. My auto insurance would not pay for any medical treatment. I could not afford the co-pays and deductible that my health insurance company expected... and the accident was not even my fault! Then a friend told me about Dr. Eldridge. What a relief!
-Thomas S. -Denver, CO

The British Journal of Orthopedic Medicine reported a study that showed that chiropractic care for chronic whiplash patients was superior to medical, acupuncture and physical therapy treatments. Patients reported higher satisfaction with chiropractic care 2 to 1!

“When I first came to see Dr. Eldridge, I had been treated for my auto accident injury for almost two years... Once I started seeing Dr. Eldridge regularly, I began to feel better. I was able to sleep through the night and take care of my home and children without pain. Dr. Eldridge worked closely with my attorney and I was able to get all of my treatment paid for.

"One evening on the way home from work I was rear-ended in an auto accident. A couple of weeks later I was battling headaches, neck pain and low back pain. I went to see a medical doctor who prescribed pain medication. The pain I had been feeling was dramatically decreased, but my head was always foggy and I would tire easily. Dr. Eldridge set up a plan that would allow me to be treated without taking any time away from work. I threw away the pain medications and began functioning more effectively. I recovered fully from my injuries. Thank you so much Dr.Eldridge for giving me my life back!

Denver Car Accidents/Denver Whiplash Injuries Auto accident injuries can result in severe and ongoing problems including head, neck, and back problems; damage to the nerves, muscles and ligaments; shoulder, knee, arm, leg, and wrist problems, and, most serious of all -- brain injuries. Denver car accidents can be particularly bad because of ice and snow, which can mean totally losing control of a vehicle or being rear-ended. The most common Denver car accident injury is whiplash, which is a serious neck injury. Car crash victims may also injure or have pain in parts of their bodies other than the neck. Lower back pain is common in car crashes, as are leg injuries from hitting the dash board, steering wheel or other structures in the car. - or - click here to check out the Spine Research Institue of San Diego “Chiropractic treatment can make the biggest difference in functioning and pain relief for someone who has been in a car accident.

The term whiplash was used historically to describe the movement of the neck during the injury phase of a crash because — it was thought — the motion mimicked that of a whip. More recent research shows that the movement of the neck is actually more complicated than the motion of a whip. The important thing to know is that the head and neck of the injured person is accelerated 3 to 5 times faster than the acceleration of the car. This sudden change in speed (about 1/10 of second) produces damage to the structures (muscles, nerves, ligaments, etc.) and causes neck pain and other problems. It is estimated that there is about 3 million whiplash injuries per year in the USA, according to Dr. Arthur Croft of the Spine Research Institute of San Diego. Several studies show that a large percentage of whiplash victims will still have pain years after their crashes. Chiropractic treatment along with supportive therapies can make a big difference and help Denver car accident victims avoid years of suffering. Whiplash Symptoms Whiplash symptoms encompass much more than just neck pain. There may be headaches, jaw pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, hand pain, numbness and tingling, as well as brain injury. Brain injury may show up as memory loss, irritability, insomnia, depression, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), concentration problems, etc. Whiplash Prevention Believe it or not there are certain things you can do to prevent being injured in a car crash. Practice good defensive driving skills. Know where other cars are that surround you. That means paying attention while you drive. This gives you an edge to avoid a collision if possible. Adjust your headrest properly. It’s estimated that only 1/3 of headrests are properly adjusted. The middle of the headrest should be at the middle back of your skull. This will stop your head from rotating forward or backward during impact. Finally, if you know you’re going to get hit it does help to brace for the impact.
