You’re in pain. Your car is a mess. You can’t work. You can’t take care of your family. A car accident right now is the last thing you need. Who do you trust? Everyone seems to know an attorney for you to see. The adjuster for the other insurance company is very nice but wants to record you. You have a lot of questions and this isn’t the time to make a mistake. You want to get better, get your car fixed and get back to your life as soon as possible.
How do I know this? I’ve helped over 10,000 auto accident patients in the last eighteen years steer through the rocky waters of personal injury and med-legal problems. Rest assured, with the right advice from the right people, you will get through this.
But you don’t know me and this isn’t the time to take a chance on the wrong doctor. That is why I recommend that you do your research. Google my name, David M. Salse, DC or go to MonroviaChiropractic.com/blog and look for “Real Chiropractor/Real Reviews”. There you will find a compilation of reviews about me from around the web.
Patients tell me they didn’t want to come in because they didn’t want a medical bill. There are several ways to get your medical care without spending a penny. Many are surprised to find out that their auto insurance may cover the entire cost for treatment through what is called Med-Pay. In addition, the insurance company of the person that hit you will take care of the medical expenses. Medical insurance also covers chiropractic care and finally, an attorneys lien means your chiropractor agrees to wait for payment from the attorney when the case settles.
The longer one waits to get treated, the longer it takes to recover. In addition, the third party insurance company (the insurance of the people who hit you) love when you don’t go to the doctor right away. I have seen them use that against patients when it comes time to settle or even to accept liability.
The top five medical mistakes patient make when involved in a car accident:
1. Seeing the wrong type of doctor. Auto accident injuries must be treated correctly. Many physicians don’t know how to manage personal injury treatment or the case. They do not want to get involved in depositions or called into court to testify as an expert witness on your behalf. Most do not know about Colossus or how to write a med-legal report. Treating with the wrong doctor could potentially ruin your med-legal case.
2. Getting the wrong treatment. Unfortunately, many medical doctors will prescribe pain killers and muscle relaxants without prescribing natural chiropractic care or physical therapy. The medication, does in fact help with the pain, but it only masks the symptoms. Medication does nothing to aid in correcting the loss of the cervical curve due to spasms, or to address the scar tissue and adhesions in the muscle or to consider the long-terms affects of neuromusculoskeletal injury in years to come.
3. The six most common words in my office, “I Thought It Would Go Away”. Whether you have mild or major pain. One of the biggest mistakes patients make after an auto accident is waiting to see if the pain will go away. Left unchecked, misaligned vertebrae may cause decades of poor health. It is extremely important to at least get checked by a chiropractor. Not only can a chiropractor help you now, your investment in care may help avoid health problems in the future. Sometimes patients feel fine immediately after an accident. Many times this is because of the body’s “fight or flight” mechanism that produces adrenaline. However, when the adrenaline wears down, the pain can come on days or weeks following an accident. Even if you have no pain, it is important to at least get checked to make sure your spine was not traumatized without you knowing it. Even if I get injured, I can’t check my own back and I will see a chiropractor to make sure my alignment is proper.
4. Getting the wrong or incomplete diagnosis. Your ER or HMO doctor has given you a diagnosis of muscle strain. Did he or she take an x-ray? Did they palpate your spine for misalignments (subluxations)? Did they do a neurological, orthopedic and chiropractic exam on you? Did they even touch you? A good chiropractor will not only be looking for muscle strain, but also conditions like traumatic carpal tunnel syndrome, acute TMJ, double crush neuropathy, radiculitis, sciatica, cervicogenic headaches and many more.
5. Treating with a new or inexperienced chiropractor. Not all chiropractors are the same. Some specialize in pediatrics while others specialize in nutrition or sports injuries. Having a seasoned veteran personal injury chiropractor on your side will not only insure you are getting the experienced treatment, you can rest assured that your chiropractor will confidently testify on your behalf if need be.

I am 29 years old and have been diagnosed with breast cancer, ease of treatment and a similar story, except for my first acceptance as a rejection of herbal medicine. I was not part of the Perseid movement and did not really build relationships with any of them, I just believed in their operation. I say this because it was during the use of Dr. Itua herbal medicine that I now attest that herbal medicine is real, the phytotherapy Dr. Itua heal my breast cancer which I suffered for 2 years. Dr. Itua herbal medicine is made of natural herbs, with no side effects, and easy to drink.
