Frequently Asked Questions

Headaches

Q: What cases headaches?

A: The most common causes are physical trauma, emotional stress, nutritional deficiencies or chemical toxins. Sometimes there may be a combination of these and other factors. Our examination process helps identify the most likely cause.

Q: How long will it take?

A: Some patients enjoy results quickly. Others notice a slow decline in their symptoms after several weeks or longer of chiropractic care. It’s impossible to predict. If you’ve had chronic headaches for many years, improvement can take time.

Q: What if I don’t have a headache when I come in?

A: Chiropractic isn’t an aspirin! Repeated visits, even when you’re feeling better, can help retrain and strengthen the muscles that support your spine. Just as it takes more than one or two workouts at the gym to get in shape, it takes time for your spine to heal.

Q: What if chiropractic doesn’t work?

A: Headaches may be common, but they’re not normal. Every headache has a cause. If we’re unable to find and correct the cause of your headaches, we can refer to other specialists who may be able to help. Your health is our only goal.

Auto Accidents

Q: What if my car sustains only minor damage?

A: Documented studies done by specialists Charles Carroll, M.D. Paul McAtee, M.D. and Lee Riley, M.D. revealed that:

“The amount of damage to the automobile bears little relation to the force applied to the cervical neck (spine) of the occupants.

In other words, the severity of the injury to the passengers is not necessarily directly related to the damage of the vehicle. Most insurance adjusters love to convince you differently. Be careful!

Q: I definitely feel injured from my accident; however, I have a history of related types of aches and pains, and records of treatment. Does this harm my case?

A: No. This is why you need to see a specialist who is familiar with this circumstance. There is always a reason why you feel injured or differently following an accident. My job is to identify specifically your new injury or the flare-up of an old one.

Q. Do you need an attorney?

A: It is always important to take care of your well being as soon as possible. First priority is to get checked by a doctor and begin, if needed, the appropriate treatment. After that, you will have enough information to decide if you want to hire an attorney or not.

Remember, the responsible party’s insurance company has many attorneys, usually very good ones. You may need all the protection you can get. This can be done before or after treatment. If necessary, we can refer you to a reputable and qualified attorney.

Q: If I need treatment for this injury, do I have to pay for it myself as the treatment is rendered?

A: No. Only in extreme rare circumstances does the patient pay for their care as it is rendered. No matter who is at fault in the accident, you are still entitled to benefits under your car insurance policy. If you have Personal Injury Protection (PIP) on your policy, this means your medical bills will be paid 100% up to a specific amount based on your policy limit. My office manager can assist you in obtaining this information. Using your PIP will not raise your rates. However, if you do not have a PIP on your policy, then we will accept an attorney lien on the case. This allows you to get treatment and then have the bill paid when your case is settled. Again, feel free to call. Call Now (281)571-8025
