Auto Accidents

Accidents alter the body's structure.

Structure is directly related to function and health.

Chiropractic addresses and corrects the structure.

Dr. David A. Spring

At Spring Chiropractic, we understand the variety of injuries one can receive in a  motor vehicle collision.  For example, it's thought that whiplash is only a soft tissue injury.  It is not.  Medical studies have proven that it is also a spinal joint injury. We understand that this type of  joint injury is often over-looked  by traditional medicine. Chiropractors are uniquely qualified to address this type of joint injury and manage it appropriately.  Dr. Spring's years of experience with whiplash, sprain/strain, joint injury and spinal disc bulges will provide you with the best of care needed as you heal.  Typically, during the first few weeks of active care most auto injury patients receive only soft tissue therapy. Then and only when appropriate will joint therapy or realignment be offered.  In addition, diagnostic testing and/or referral to the appropriate medical specialist may also be recommended if injury to the body or spine warrants.

Payment Options
Florida State Law requires every insured vehicle to have personal injury protection (PIP) as part of the vehicles policy. This type of coverage pays health care and rehabilitative therapy costs  up to a  certain amount, when you're injured in a motor vehicle collision.  If you have been injured in an auto accident, don't worry. Once your accident claim is made, you can relax and let us manage the medical expenses along with the auto insurance company.  Spring Chiropractic may also accept personal health insurance, cash and LOP's for unique circumstances.  Moreover, if legal actions are needed, we work only with the best in the business.               (Contact our office for a list of attorneys)

Motor Vehicle Injury Facts:

 * 80% of motor vehicle head restraints are positioned incorrectly.
 * Many injuries are caused by flying objects from within the vehicle.
 * Whiplash can occur in 10-mph collisions without any vehicle damage.
 * Whiplash affects the spinal joints of the neck as well as the soft tissue.
 * Front-end collisions tend to cause more damage to the vehicle than to the occupant.
 * Rear-end collisions tend to cause more damage to the occupant than to the vehicle.
 * In a motor vehicle collision, 60 – 70% of spinal damage is to the joints, and 30% of the injury is to
    the spinal discs or soft tissue.
 * Chiropractic is the only proven effective treatment for chronic whiplash.
