“Soft Tissue Injuries Are Often Misunderstood, and difficult to detect. Many victims who go to doctors due to pain, are told that they will need rest and time. Rest and time alone, can, and usually does create scar tissue and permanent damage.”

Dear Friend,
You know one of the most stressful aspects of living in modern day life is dealing with the problems that arise after an automobile collision.

But were you also aware that automobile accidents are not usually ‘accidents’? The word accident implies an incident which results from some unavoidable circumstance. However, there is almost no example of a truly unavoidable automobile collision. Most collisions occur because of momentary neglect as where a driver takes his/her eyes off the road, or from following too close, or going too fast.

All such collisions are avoidable if people would exercise proper control and not be careless.

Such careless people take from the victims their right to be free from injury; their right to be without pain and disability; their right to be hassle free and to be left alone.

A careless driver can strike any person at any time, robbing them of their most basic and important possession: Their good health, both physical and mental.

Most people state they feel dazed and confused during the aftermath at the collision site.

During this time, if you’re conscious, you begin to realize you have been involved in an ‘accident’.

Our natural human instincts begin to kick into action, and the initial thought process goes something like this:

It’s normal to initially think of our own well being before we think of others.

If any person involved is not suffering from an apparent life threatening injury or appears to have no broken bones or major cuts, then most often an ambulance is not called.

Here’s where the problem begins...the attention immediately begins to shift towards automobile damages, and of course...

For the time being, your life has not changed. All of your normal daily habits, responsibilities and leisure time have been wiped away by the complications that will be created by this ‘accident’. The prior stresses you might have been dealing with will not compare to the hassles and inconveniences that an automobile accident victim experiences.

Later, the inevitable thought occurs anywhere from one hour to five days after the time of the accident.

Not only are automobile accidents an inconvenience and a hassle, you may have noticed that ever since the accident, you have not been feeling like your normal self. You’re experiencing obvious pains and symptoms like

• muscle stiffness
• spasm
• neck pain
• headaches
• numbness and tingling
• mid back pain
• low back pain
• difficulty sleeping
• irritability
• memory loss
• fatigue
• difficulty concentrating
... and many other problems

Either way, you might find yourself at the local hospital by either self-admission, or taken by an ambulance.

Let me make this perfectly clear. The emergency room technicians (doctors, nurses, aides, etc.) are trained to detected life-threatening conditions and provide appropriate care as needed.

If your injuries do not fall into this category, then after the evaluation you may be sent home with pain and sleep medication, anti-inflammation medication and muscle relaxers.

The hospital ‘follow-up’ has always been interesting to me. Here you have a doctor specializing in acute trauma; broken bones, internal injuries, burns, severe gashes and lacerations, who already diagnosed and released you a week or two ago, wanting you to come back for another evaluation.

During your initial days of taking these ‘medi-cocktails’, you get a call from an insurance adjuster representing the person who caused the accident . These are highly trained individuals who deal with accident claim all day long. They may be calling to get information to settle this case immediately. They understand you have been to the hospital and released.

It is usually hospital policy not to give a second prescription during a follow-up visit. Their job is finished. If you complain of injury, they will recommend you to see your family doctor or general practitioner for your injury.

The general practitioner is a competent doctor of medicine. However, this type of doctor may not be familiar with how to diagnosis and treat all soft tissue injuries.

These collisions cause underlying soft tissue injuries that victims may be unaware of , and family doctors may not be able to handle; especially those of the neck and back.

The loop begins when the doctor continues to prescribe all those medications. Despite the effects of the drugs, you still feel injured and simply, not the same person.

As each day goes by, and the injuries continue to be inappropriately treated, the body procedures dysfunctional scar tissue at the sites of the injury.

This continued incorrect healing process begins the initial step of the future conditions, the most common being Post-Traumatic Osteo-arthritis.

This form of arthritis over time can ruin your posture (giving you a slumped or hump backed appearance)....

It also causes the vertebrae discs in your spine to degenerate and create scar tissue formation leading to chronic stiffness, pain, numbness and spasm.

Remember, the purpose of medications is to ‘numb the pain’, not correct the injured problem.

The next step for the general practitioner will be to refer you to a physical therapist. The therapist is under direct order and supervision by the doctor ( the same doctor who is not specialized in this type of injury). Since the therapy is based on the doctor’s diagnosis. If the diagnosis is incorrect it often leads to misguided protocols of treatment.

Most Doctors Are Not Trained In The Detection Of These Hidden Injuries... And That’s a Fact!

Four to eight weeks later, you are done with physical therapy. You are still in pain and the injury feels worse!

You don’t want to go back to therapy, and you’re sick and tired of taking all those medications. The sad part about this ‘loop of craziness’ is it’s not over with. At this point, the doctor is at a loss as to why you’re still hurting. So you are referred out, or sent back to your orthopedic surgeon. The orthopedic evaluation is simple...

Current medical research states most of all soft tissue injuries occurring from auto accident patients do not require surgical intervention.

This brings us to the closure of this medical loop I call ‘crazy’. Since a small fraction of all soft tissue injuries caused by auto accident require the need for surgery, you will likely be told the following....

“There is nothing we can do...You may have to live with this for the rest of your life.”

Oh, and remember the insurance claims adjuster who called you earlier, well, you can expect more calls to your house as soon as they receive your doctor’s report.

“Your doctors are finished, and your pain will eventually go away on its own, so let’s settle this case NOW and put this behind you.”

A lot of auto accident victims receive inappropriate care from hospitals, medical doctors, or physical therapy clinic. They are practicing in a manner they are trained and doing the best they can but..... Then, while the underlying damages and pain is hidden or numbed with drugs, they may settle a case thinking they are well. Don’t Let This Happen To You!!!

If you do, you may experience pain, numbness, headaches, muscle stiffness, fatigue, and other problems, including arthritis and nerve damage, for many months ahead. Nothing is more important than your health once you start to lose it. So, the big question is...

First, when you have been in an auto accident, you need a doctor who is trained and specializes in the biomechanics of the human body. That means he or she can perform routine physical examinations with orthopedic and neuralgic tests, as well as special tests that assess those hidden functional soft tissue damages. In addition, special x-rays can be taken to find out if there has been any structural damage.

As a matter of fact, most general practitioners do not conduct these specific examinations and x-ray analysis methodologies. Without proper training, a doctor can overlook many damaging injuries resulting from a condition called whiplash. Whiplash occurs when the head and neck are thrown or ‘snapped’ back and forth very quickly at speeds as slow as 5 mph. Whiplash is the most common injury in auto accident.

“About 20 Million People In The United States Have Suffered Whiplash Damage.”

Your neck is jam-packed with nerves, glands, tubes, blood vessels, lymph nodes, and 48 different joints. Add to that your brain stem, spinal column, discs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, fluids, meningitis, and more!

The Chances Of You Becoming A Whiplash Victim In An Accident Are Extremely Good.

In addition to disc and other soft tissue damage, whiplash causes spinal column misalignment and irritations, stretching or impingement to the nerves and spinal curve.

Proper evaluation and treatment by an injury specialist can make the difference between...

I have treated literally hundreds of injury victims just like you. I am well-trained in the diagnosis and treatment of auto accident patients. My office uses the latest technology by offering Computerized Range of Motion Exams, as well as many other diagnostic procedures. Computerized Range of Motion is a diagnostic procedure that identifies and monitors neck and back soft tissue injuries. It is completely safe and patient compliance is 100%. Currently, my office is one of the few facilities on Long Island that utilizes Computerized Range of Motion Studies.

CROM stands for Computerized Range of Motion. In our office we use a computerized version that reads joint, bone, muscle and disc function. If any one of these structures is damaged your normal motion will be less. Then we print out the report and give it to you to take home and keep for your records!

This is an important test and is admissible in court to show your damage. In fact, the computer automatically calculates impairment (The amount your damaged) and prints this out! General physicals don’t provide all this information!!

A: Documented studies done by specialists Charles Carroll, M.D., Paul McAtee, M.D., And Lee Riley, M.D. revealed that:

“The amount of damage of the automobile bears little relation to the force applied to the cervical neck (spine) of the occupants.”

In other words, the severity of the injury to the passengers is not necessarily directly related to the damage to the vehicle. Most insurance adjusters love to convince you differently. Be Careful!

Q: I definitely feel injured from my accident; however, I have a history of related types of aches and pains, and records of treatment. Does this harm my case?

A: No. This is why you need to see a specialist who is familiar with this circumstance. There is always a reason why you may feel injured or differently following an accident. My job is to identify specifically your new injury or the flair-up of an old one.

A: It is always important to take care of your well being as soon as possible. First priority is to get checked by a doctor and begin, if needed, the appropriate treatment. After that, you will have enough information to decide if you want to hire an attorney or not.

Remember, the responsible party’s insurance company has many attorneys, usually very good ones. You may need all the protection you can get. This can be done before or after treatment. If necessary, we can refer you to a reputable and qualified attorney.

Q: If I need treatment for this injury, do I have to pay for it myself as the treatment is rendered?

A: No. Only in extremely rare circumstances does the patient pay for their care as it is rendered. No matter who is at fault in the accident but, you are still entitled to benefits under your car insurance policy. If you have ‘medical pay’ on your policy, this means your medical bills will be paid 100% up to a specific amount based on your policy limit. My office manager can assist you in obtaining this information. Using your ‘medical pay’ will not raise your rates. However, if you do not have ‘medical pay’ on your policy, then we will accept an attorney lien on the case. This allows you to get treatment and then have the bill paid when your case is settled. Again, feel free to call, my office manager can help you with this information.

A: Absolutely not. I specialize in advanced care for both children and adults. My therapies are very gentle and quite soothing. Most patients can hardly wait to get their care.

A: Yes, extremely. Particularly when compared to the side effects of overly prescribed medications and/or inappropriate use of surgery.
