Recovery Options After an Accident – Personal Injury Chiropractors
As part of our client-centered approach at Wallentine Injury Law, we focus not only on negotiating settlements and advocating for you in court but also on achieving what truly matters to you throughout your claim. A key component of this is your physical recovery. That’s why we make your healthcare and treatment an immediate and top priority after an accident. Prompt medical attention is also essential to building a strong personal injury case.
With nearly 20 years in business, Wallentine Injury Law has developed strong connections with some of the top healthcare providers in the greater Kansas City area to address a wide range of injury needs. Most clients require a combination of treatments for optimal healing; however, one effective option for recovery and pain management is working with personal injury chiropractors.
What is Personal Injury Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care has grown in popularity nationwide as a method of personal injury recovery in recent years. In fact, 11% of adults in the U.S. use chiropractic care, with 85.7% of them seeking it specifically for pain management. Additionally, 3.4% of children ages 4 to 17 also receive chiropractic treatment.
According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, chiropractic is a “licensed health care profession that emphasizes the body’s ability to heal itself.” It offers an effective alternative to more invasive post-accident treatments like surgery. Chiropractors use a non-invasive, hands-on approach to adjust the spine and other joints, improving mobility and reducing discomfort.
Over the years, many of our clients have experienced real relief and healing through personal injury chiropractors. However, every personal injury case is different. Some individuals may benefit solely from chiropractic treatment, while others may require a combination of therapies. Rest assured, our team is committed to ensuring you are thoroughly evaluated and connected with the appropriate providers for your recovery.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help My Healing?
After an accident—whether involving a car, motorcycle, or truck—our priority is helping clients feel like themselves again as quickly as possible while simultaneously pursuing justice. A major factor in restoring that sense of normalcy is promoting physical healing. Unfortunately, even with prompt medical attention, motor vehicle accidents often leave individuals with lingering aches and pains.
Chiropractic care is a treatment option that supports continued healing after an accident. Rather than being a one-time procedure, it provides ongoing pain relief and improved mobility over time. It’s also especially effective at addressing injuries commonly caused by vehicle collisions. Chiropractic care can aid in the healing of:
- Whiplash
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Soft-tissue injuries
- Headaches and migraines
Like other rehabilitative approaches, such as physical therapy, chiropractic care is personalized. Your chiropractor will meet with you for an initial evaluation and develop a customized recovery plan. As your healing progresses, they can adjust the plan as needed to ensure the best outcome after your accident.
Most importantly, it’s essential to your healing to communicate openly with both your attorney and your personal injury chiropractor. Neither can fully support your recovery if they’re unaware of the pain or challenges you’re experiencing.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help My Case?
As mentioned previously, receiving proper medical treatment not only benefits your physical well-being, but it can also significantly strengthen your personal injury case. In order to succeed with a personal injury claim in either Kansas or Missouri, you must establish four key elements: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. The medical records generated from your treatment are a vital piece of evidence in proving these elements.
Proving Causation
While medical records can support all four elements depending on the circumstances, they are especially important in demonstrating causation and damages. Records of your past and ongoing treatment document the nature, extent, and severity of your injuries—critical components in validating the harm you’ve suffered.
Expert Witnesses
Furthermore, receiving treatment connects our legal team with experienced medical professionals who may later serve as expert witnesses. Their testimony can be invaluable during settlement negotiations, mediation, or trial. These medical records also detail the costs associated with your treatment, providing clear evidence of your damages and supporting your right to fair compensation.
We maintain open and transparent communication with medical providers throughout your case. Whether you’re seeing a chiropractor or another healthcare professional, we work closely with them to ensure your claim is protected through thorough documentation and accurate medical records.
