Myth:
There was no damage to the car and the airbag didn't go off, so I must be ok.
Fact:
It only takes a 3 mph collision to cause damage to your spine. This damage can have no symptoms for weeks or months.

Myth:
I went to the hospital and they said I was fine.
Fact:
Emergency room staff are not trained to look for and treat the soft tissue injuries of a car accident. They are concerned with the life threatening emergencies. If there are no broken bones and no bleeding, you are 'fine' in their eyes. Chiropractors are specialist highly trained in treating soft tissue injuries related to auto accidents.

Myth:
It was my fault, so if I get treatment for my injuries I won't be covered and will end up with big doctor bills.
Fact:
ALL Florida auto insurance policies cover medical treatment for your injuries regardless of who is at fault.

Myth:
If I make a claim to get medical treatment my premiums will go up.
Fact:
Unlike a collision claim, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claims are not tied to your premiums. This is insurance you have paid for to protect you after an accident and it is your right to use it.

Myth:
Nothing hurts, I don't need treatment.
Fact:
That may be, but there may be subtle damage that if treated correctly now may prevent big problems in the future. The only way to know for sure is to make an appointment with us today.
