Our chiropractors, Dr. David Melendez and Dr. Lorraine Melendez, are highly experienced in treating post-auto accident patients with all the resources that chiropractic has to offer. Our services include far more than spinal adjustments, as we also offer massage therapy and highly specialized techniques like the Pettibon system of spinal correction.

After an auto accident, symptoms such as neck pain, back pain, headache, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and whiplash are not just temporary problems. In fact, research has shown that at about 15.5 years after an original whiplash trauma, 70 percent of victims still suffer pain as a result of that original injury. In one study, it was revealed that of the patients who continued to suffer pain even 15-plus years post auto accident, 65 percent had continued neck pain and 48 percent had continued low back pain.

Patients who suffer from post auto accident injury will typically deal with back pain, neck pain, headache, and some radiating arm pain. A chiropractor can generally help to resolve these symptoms the most effectively if chiropractics is sought in the time shortly after the accident. Seeking care immediately can help the chiropractor find the source of the pain and eliminate it quickly, If the pain is ignored and allowed to linger, it will rarely resolve without treatment.

In fact, in many cases, between the 10 and 15 years post auto accident, symptoms may increase. Symptoms tend to fluctuate in these years in particular, and a study showed that only 18 percent of car accident victims saw an improvement in symptoms, while 28 percent saw their symptoms continue to worsen. Overall, 80 percent of females and 50 percent of males continued to deal with the troubles of soft tissue injury -- which can easily be as painful as a broken bone in many cases -- even 15 years after the auto accident.
