Many people who are in Coon Rapids MN motor vehicle accidents; whether it is a simple low-speed fender bender or a high-speed rollover, may have different levels of injuries regardless of the speed of the accident. At Caring Chiropractic Center, your Coon Rapids MN Chiropractor sees a lot of accident victims. We see people who have 60mph rollover accidents that have minimal injuries and then we treat people in accidents going 10mph in a parking lot who have developed disc injuries from the impact in their spine. The symptoms and injuries from each accident vary so much that the best way to make sure you get the proper care after an accident is to get a spinal check-up right away, no matter how big or small the accident is. That way Dr Ruf can look at your spine through a professional’s eyes and evaluate your health with neurological and radiographic testing that actually can show if the accident did damage to your spine, muscles, and neurology.

The first four to five days following a car accident the injuries may be masked over by the body with stiffness and soreness. Plus it could also be in shock from the trauma! Given a couple of weeks injured tissues, muscles, joints, and ligaments have time to become inflamed, swollen, and will become increasingly sore. A visit to a medical doctor will often result in a prescription for anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants. The pharmaceutical or medical treatment is aimed at treating the symptoms of the injury not necessarily treating the injuries from the accident itself.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SEEK TREATMENT FROM A COON RAPIDS MN CHIROPRACTOR?

  1. Following a motor vehicle accident people will think that when there is minor damage to the car, there is minor damage to their bodies. The facts are the amount of damage that your body takes from a motor vehicle accident is not equivalent to what happens to the vehicle. When you have two vehicles weighing 2000 pounds each, moving in opposing directions there is shear forces of physics that take place on the body. These forces damage ligaments, joints, discs, and muscles of the body and should be evaluated by a Chiropractor. Not all of the damages show up right away as symptoms!
  2. Safety equipment in a vehicle can be just as damaging as the accident itself. We see people at Caring Chiropractic Center that take more injury from the air bags exploding, hitting them in the face, throwing them back into the seat, than the accident causes itself. Should this be the case, you have injuries from that accident and you should get checked out.
  3. Pain may not show up for the first two to three weeks following an accident. We see people in our office 3-6 months following the accident where the injuries have been progressively deteriorating as a result of the original trauma from the accident. These injuries need to be evaluated by a qualified Chiropractor who has experience in treating these conditions. Dr Ruf has specialized training in diagnosing, evaluating and treating automobile injuries.
  4. No fault automobile insurance in the state of Minnesota states that any passenger, pedestrian or operator of a vehicle who has been in a motor vehicle accident has medical coverage through their automobile insurance. A person who has been involved in a motor vehicle accident has up to one year to make a claim against that policy if the injuries were acquired from the accident. Our insurance specialists at Caring Chiropractic have many years of experience and can answer any questions you may have.
  5. In the event that you have been in a motor vehicle accident, or even doing maintenance to a vehicle and you feel that your life has changed in any way, meaning you have more stiffness, soreness, injuries it is of value for you to get your spine checked by an experienced Chiropractor.
