Motor Vehicular Accidents

Automobile accidents are common and should be evaluated by a chiropractic physician to determine both the short and long-term effects of the trauma. There are several ways to file claims when an auto accident has occurred. Our insurance clerk will be glad to discuss which method applies to your case and assist you in filing your claim. In most cases, no payment is required from the patient that is received from the insurance company.

Pre-Employment Evaluation

In an attempt to reduce the increasing costs of spinal injuries in the workplace, our office is equipped to evaluate employees prior to their employment. This allows us to assist an employer in determining the work an employee may best be suited for, or if there is the threat of back problems in the near future. For further details on this program, please feel free to contact our office.
