Car and motorcycle accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries in the U.S. each year, causing more than 40 percent of all new spinal injuries. There’s a good reason for that: Because they weigh well over a ton, a car can cause an injury to occur even when it’s traveling a low speed. That means that even seemingly minor collisions resulting in little damage to a car’s body can result in significant impact to the spine, causing nerve damage and chronic pain that can take a long time to fully heal.
At Xtreme Spine & Joint, Dr. Robert Gordon is certified in chiropractic treatment techniques aimed at identifying spinal issues that cause pain and discomfort, including:
- Neck pain
- Lower back pain
- Sciatica
- Pinched nerves
- Chronic headaches
- Whiplash injuries
Are You Suffering from Hidden Injuries?
Offering sunny weather and beautiful beaches all year round, Florida is one of the most heavily traveled states in the nation and as a result, the state also has one of the highest accident rates. Even so-called fender-benders can cause major injuries, and sometimes those injuries can remain undetected for weeks after the initial accident occurs. Since many auto accidents involve the spine, having medical care that treats spinal misalignment is essential following a crash.
Dr. Gordon and the entire staff at Xtreme Spine & Joint understand the stress and anxiety that accident victims feel, and they will work with your insurance company, as well as your attorney, to ensure you get the care you need for a full recovery. Xtreme Spine & Joint offers the latest treatments so you can get your life back on track.
