Insurance companies will often tell people involved in motor vehicle accidents that their injuries must be minor because there is very little damage to the car.  Property damage is neither a valid predictor of injury nor of symptom duration. Countless peer-reviewed studies have shown that car damage does not correlate to injury occurrence or duration.  Do not be fooled by sneaky insurance claims adjusters who try to pressure you into settling your claim early.  You have the right to get treated for your injuries!  We will help you- call us today: 503-235-7130

What would you rather be?

Most people are reactive when it comes to dealing with common injuries such as back pain and headaches.  They often head for the medicine cabinet, seek care too late or just “tough it out.”

Individuals who are proactive when it comes to similar ailments do what they can to prevent any problem from occurring at all.   Simple, cheaper and clinically-proven methods of preventing these types of problems include:

-regular chiropractic adjustments
-regular massages
-regular stretching routines
-regular exercise (at least four times/week)
-healthy diet

Most of this probably sounds familiar.  You know why?  Because it works!  It’s worked for me with amazing results.  I suffered with tons of aches and pains until I took the aforementioned to heart.  Now I rarely suffer from back pain or the like because my body is prepared to handle the stresses life throws at me.

Your child’s backpack should weigh no more than 5-10 percent of his or her body weight.  Anything heavier than this will make the child lean forward to support the weight on his or her back.  The weight of the backpack should be supported by the straps on the shoulders.  Also, the backpack should never hang more than 4 inches below your child’s waist.

Follow theses simple rules and your child will not be in danger of developing back pain due to improper backpack use.

For any back pain, neck pain or headaches, give us a call.  We can help you!

More than 50% of all low speed rear impact crashes (LOSRIC) that produce injuries occur without vehicle damage.  Think about that.  Wow.

Insurance companies know that there is no correlation between vehicle damage and occupant injuries.  However, they will not tell you this.  More often than not insurance adjusters will rhetorically ask you “how can you be hurt, there was only a scratch on your car?”  They often try to make you feel guilty for getting injured and wanting to seek treatment.  They do this to prevent you from getting treatment.  Why?  This saves their company money.

If you have been in a LOSRIC or any other kind of motor vehicle collision be sure to seek treatment- regardless of any car damage.  We will help you heal…503-235-7130
