Studies performed by Charles Carroll, M.D., Paul McAtee, M.D. and Lee Riley, M.D. revealed that: “The amount of damage to the automobile bears little relation to the force applied to the cervical spine (neck) of the occupants.” Basically, there is not a direct relationship between the damage a vehicle receives and the severity of a patient’s injury.

I’ve been to the Hospital and My Medical Doctor, why should I See a Chiropractor or MD?
Your injury needs to be evaluated by a doctor who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of auto related injuries. The purpose of the hospital ER is to make sure that there is no life-threatening problem. Normally, they do not treat the damaged biomechanical and soft tissue issues that can lead to future pain and disability. The standard treatment an M.D. prescribes is pain pills and anti-inflammatory drugs that just mask the problem: pills do not correct soft tissue damage. You need a doctor that understands the soft tissue healing process.
