Were You Injured In An Auto Accident?
Juneau, AK 99801
Dear Friend,
Over the past 15 years I've had the privilege of helping patients all across the SE Alaska with their whiplash / car accident injuries.
Our clinic is different in that we dig, find, and FIX the root cause. We don't simply "mask" the symptom with a medication or muscle relaxer / pain killer. We use natural methods of treatment.
We'll determine the cause which will then determine our course of action. In other words, a herniated / bulging disc will require different treatment than misalignments / subluxation.
We also have different methods of reducing / minimizing INFLAMMATION in the body...so we'll look at things from a nutritional perspective and make recommendations that will reduce inflammation in the body and get you feeling better ASAP!
If you're struggling with a car accident injury / whiplash, then give our clinic a call. Our methods are safe, natural, and highly effective.
Like we mentioned, it can take 24 hours to a few days to feel the symptoms of whiplash such as dizziness, headaches, or pain in the upper back and neck.
The best way to deal with a whiplash injury is to catch it early. In other words, don't wait for pain to seek treatment.
Ignoring a potential injury can lead to long-term pain, which is why we encourage patients to call us immediately following your accident so we can properly diagnose your injuries and start you on a treatment plan before the pain become unbearable or permanent.
The medical alternatives to car accidents / whiplash typically include muscle relaxers, pain killers (sometimes addictive), cortisone shots, and surgery.
For many people involved in a car accident they will just take pain relief drugs because they think that will make them better. Drugs / medications might make you "feel" better for a short period of time, however, it's not FIXING the problem. It's simply a chemical cover up that is short-term.
Our natural approach offers pain relief without the use of drugs or addictive medications. We also address the injury at the source of the problem using natural methods (i.e. chiropractic, massage, stretches, exercises etc.).
If you suffer a neck or back injury from a car accident, the inflammation that occurs can cause even more problems. Your blood and nutrients will not be able to make to the areas they need to go because the inflammation will be slowing the healing process.
When we adjust our patients, it mobilizes your spine, restoring range of motion and allowing the body to begin the natural healing process at a much faster rate.
For example, symptoms of whiplash can continue for years if you fail to seek proper medical care.
Seeing a chiropractor immediately after your accident will help to avoid long-term, chronic pain conditions from developing. Again, we will be able to diagnose and treat your injury before it has the chance to manifest into a much larger problem.
Much larger problems include early disc degeneration, muscle / nerve damage, chronic headaches, poor range of motion etc.
The important thing to understand is chiropractic treatment after a car accident is the right decision to make for your health. You do NOT want any long term damage. Do not settle your case with an insurance company before being thoroughly examined for any long-term damage to your spine.
Auto injuries are typically covered at 100% which is means no "out of pocket" expense for you. We will double check your insurance and make sure this is the case prior to starting any treatment.

What Happens On The First Visit?
Very simple. You'll meet with one of the doctors to discuss your concerns. A thorough health history will be performed follow by an examination / evaluation. From there if we think we can help, we'll tell you. If we think a referral to a specialist will be better suited for your needs, we'll provide that. During your 2nd visit is when we provide care plan instructions / recommended action plan moving forward.
Is Chiropractic Safe?
Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the SAFESST, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of musculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. Many patients feel immediate relief following a chiropractic adjustment, but some may experience mild muscle soreness, stiffness, similar to a post exercise muscle soreness. Current research shows that minor discomfort or soreness following spinal manipulation is typically gone within 24 hours.
Do You Take Insurance?
We will definitely check your insurance benefits to determine if they'll be able to help with your care plan. From there we'll provide with you the most cost effective way of getting the treatment you need.
Is Chiropractic Appropriate For Children?
Absolutely! We see of ton of kids at natural health solutions. Children are very physically active and experience many types of falls and traumas from activities of daily living as well as from participating in sports. Kids have spines (just like adults) and their spines need to be maintained throughout life as well. Chiropractic care is always modified to the individual. It is a highly skilled treatment, and in the case of children, we provide a very gentle approach.
If I Start Chiropractic Care - Do I Have To Keep Coming Back?
Our approach is hands on. Because of this it may require a number of visits to fix the underlying problem. In contrast, a course of treatment from medical doctors often involves a pre-established plan that is conducted at home (i.e. taking a course of antibiotics once a day for a couple of weeks or taking pain killers). As chiropractors we provide hands on treatments which makes a sequence of visits sometimes necessary. We will give you our best recommendations during your 2nd visit in our clinic.
