Should I see a Chiropractor for Back or Neck Pain?

Many car accident victims go to a chiropractor for relief of back and neck pain. We don’t discourage you from seeing a chiropractor. However, you should also see a medical doctor who specializes in spinal care.

Neck and back pain can be caused by muscle injuries that get better in time. However, your pain may be caused by a bulging or herniated disk that if left untreated can cause permanent injuries. Spinal problems such as bulging or herniated disks can be detected on a MRI exam.

What if I Am Paralyzed After an Accident?

Unlike other parts of your body, your spinal cord does not heal following an injury. A damaged spinal cord can cause permanent paraplegia or quadriplegia.

If you are paralyzed in an accident, you will also need ongoing medical care, rehabilitation and therapy for the rest of your life. To live as full a life as possible, you will want access to the best medical technologies such as motorized wheel chairs and adaptive devices for your home and vehicle.

As your lawyers, we will consult financial planners, life-care planners and other experts to help us anticipate all of your future needs and help you get the best possible care.
