Automobile accidents are unfortunate circumstances that affect a large percentage of the population on a regular basis. When an individual suffers an auto accident injury, they are often taken to the hospital or ER where they will receive immediate medical attention for any open wounds or broken bones. However, many individuals who suffer auto accident injuries may not be treated for soft-tissue injuries, such as whiplash, neck pain, or back pain. Whiplash-associated disorders, or whiplash, is one of the most common automobile accident injuries. Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden back-and-forth jolt of the neck in any direction, generally due to an automobile accident. Most of the time, individuals who’ve been involved in a car crash may not experience any immediate symptoms. Auto accident injury symptoms like whiplash may take up to several hours, days, or even weeks to manifest. Chiropractic care is a safe and effective alternative treatment approach that is used to diagnose, treat, and prevent health issues, including soft-tissue injuries following a car crash. Dr. Alex Jimenez, a chiropractor in El Paso, TX, uses spinal adjustments and manual manipulations to carefully restore the original alignment of the spine. Dr. Alex Jimenez and his staff can help treat automobile accident injuries, including neck pain, back pain, and whiplash, among other well-known health issues associated with the musculoskeletal and nervous system. – Podcast Insight

 


 

[00:00:10] My name is Shane Scott. I am 20 years old. I was involved in a car accident and I am a recent father.

[00:00:21] Jesus Ravelo. Yo manejo camion. Trailer. Manejaba. Manejaba. A causa del accidente pues ya paro todo. Tengo que empezar de nuevo.

[00:00:35] Pues me afecto en todo. En la vida personal, en mi trabajo, en todo. Por que a causa de esto…

[00:00:40] Se fue todo para abajo y ahorita como quien dice aunque quiera trabajar no puedo. Yo tenia mi propia compania y a causa de esto ya se fue todo para abajo. I get constant headaches that I didn’t get before.

[00:00:58] Me lo recomendo el abogado. A causa del dolor, de los dolores que sentia aqui en el hombro y aqui en el costado. I started experiencing headaches. My lower back and a little bit of my neck…

[00:01:18] Were really just very irritated and getting tired easily. Me sentia muy para abajo, como que no podia hacer muchas cosas y ahorita otra vez me siento bien.

[00:01:30] My treatment with Dr. Jimenez has been helping me by just making me less tired. I’m not experiencing as many headaches. The headaches are going down dramatically. And my back feels much better.

[00:01:48] Si todo muy bien. Me han tratado muy bien. Osea las terapias. Todo. Excelente. Se los recomiendo.
