Auto Accidents/Personal Injury at
Burlington Chiropractic INC

Anytime your body experiences an impact, the force has to go somewhere. Whether the collision happened at 10 mph or 50 mph, the law of equal and opposite forces means that the momentum of the crash was absorbed into your body, putting you at risk of serious health problems.

Looking After Your Long-Term Health

Your body lays down scar tissue after any kind of injury. Receiving chiropractic care within the first 48 hours speeds up your healing time and decreases the amount of scar tissue your body produces.

Unfortunately, waiting too long can lead to chronic consequences. We often see patients whose X-rays still show the damage from injuries that happened 20 years ago. While the body is amazing at overcoming symptoms, that doesn’t mean it got rid of the problem. A patient with a whiplash injury may have headaches for a month but then feel better—only to wake up with significant neck pain a year later.

Our thorough evaluation process includes state-of-the-art x-rays and detailed physical assessments during your first visit, which typically lasts 60-90 minutes. This comprehensive approach helps us identify all injury points, even those not yet causing noticeable symptoms.

Scar tissue can cause degenerative changes that affect the spine. At Burlington Chiropractic INC, we can always help improve your experience of health, but your body’s capacity for healing becomes much less with chronic pain than it would have been if we’d started care sooner.

Recovery Timeline Expectations

Each patient’s healing journey is unique. While some individuals achieve full recovery within 2-3 months, more severe injuries might require 12-18 months of dedicated care. We provide realistic timeline expectations and adjust your treatment plan based on your progress.
Our practice coordinates with various healthcare specialists, including medical doctors and physical therapists, ensuring you receive the most effective combination of treatments for your specific injuries. This collaborative approach optimizes your recovery timeline and outcomes.

Taking the Stress Out of Recovery

We handle all communication with attorneys and adjusters. Our office accepts liens and can bill to the at-fault party or attorney, so you won’t pay anything at the time of service.

Please bring all relevant paperwork with you to your first appointment, including any accident reports, your lawyer’s information, and your claim information. This first visit usually takes an hour and a half, as we do X-rays and a thorough evaluation. We can refer out for MRIs if needed.

Depending on your needs, we may also recommend physical therapy, massage therapy, or an orthopedist evaluation. Dr. Garcia has connections with excellent practitioners, and we’ll gladly work together to help you achieve the best results.
