Auto Accidents

Auto-Injury?

We are Lexington's Premiere Auto Accident & Injury Chiropractic Health Facility!
We work closely with your auto insurance company & local attorneys to ensure your care is covered. This ensures our patients that they are financially covered so we can have all our focus on their health & getting them back to pre-trauma condition.
Being in an auto accident is a very scary experience. Unfortunately, many people with serious auto accidents have both physical and emotional injuries that they need to address.
That's why we utilize Digital Motion X-ray Technology, to pin point the exact segments in your spine that are causing the aches, pains & dysfunctions. Once our Doctors know exactly what is causing the issues, they can make very specific adjustments utilizing the integrator adjusting instrument & the Torque Release Technique (TRT). We also understand that a lot of patients following an auto accident are very sore & in a lot of pain. That's why utilizing the integrator to make the adjustments, allows us to make true correction in those injured areas very gently & specifically without any twisting, cracking or popping!
​Auto accident injuries vary from person to person and crash to crash. However, the most common types of injuries associated with automobile accidents are:

The chiropractor’s general approach to managing the patient’s chiropractic care is critical to the success of preventing chronic pain from whiplash injuries & to help avoid any unnecessary drugs or surgeries!
  • Whiplash is the most common injury associated with motor vehicle accidents, affecting up to 83% of patients involved in collisions, and is a common cause of chronic disability.
  • The clinical syndrome of whiplash & WAD includes: neck pain, or stiffness, arm pain, & paresthesias, tempromandibular dysfunction, headaches, visual disturbance, memory & concentrations problems, & psychological distress.
  • Studies of long-term outcome for untreated patients with whiplash & WAD show persistent symptoms in 24-40% of patients after 1 year. Other studies have reported symptoms in as high as 39.6% of patients as far as 7 years after injury.
  • Prescription Opioid exposure after auto traumas are high, because these drugs are commonly used to mask pain associated with injuries.
  • In 2016, more than 46 people died each day from overdoses involving prescription opioids!
  • Spinal Fusions: Cervical Spinal Fusions can range from about $11k-25k. While Lumbar Spinal Fusions can range from about $20k-$37k.
  • The American Society of Anesthesiologists estimates that 20 to 40% of back surgeries fail. Patients having repeated back surgeries have a much higher chance of failure. One study found  that 70% of second back surgeries fail.
