Most
Chiropractors treat people who have been injured in accidents of all types. On
the job injuries and injuries from auto accidents are not the exception. In
fact, I believe everyone who's had a acceleration deceleration type injury
should see a chiropractor. If you go to see your family doctor and he finds
musculoskeletal problems and he doesn't refer you to a Chiropractor, he/or she
isn't looking out for you or your loved ones best interest. Chiropractors are
trained in the diagnosis and treatment of these types of problems and are the
best qualified to treat them.
YOU HAVE RIGHTS
It's very disturbing to us at
Carson Chiropractic that most of the over 15,000 patients we've treated
over the last 20 years didn't know that if they list with their Employer their
choice for a Doctor, if they are injured on the job, that their Doctor becomes
the PRIMARY DOCTOR for them. Not only can you list your family M.D. but you can
list your CHIROPRACTOR as well. By doing this now, you gain control of which
doctors will be making the decisions on your care right from the beginning of
your injury.
This is very important for many
reasons, the most important one for you is that your family doctor, whether an
MD or a DC, is going to have
YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART and
will be concerned with your best welfare.
Don't let people who are only
interested in money make your health care decisions! You will usually lose, and
that's not fair to you or to your family!!!!!
Another important thing you
should know is that there are laws that make it ILLEGAL for an insurance company
to raise your rates if you've been in an accident and it's
NOT YOUR FAULT.
If they do raise them report
them to the state insurance commissioner, they will be more than happy to help
you reconcile with the insurance company.
