If you have recently been in a car accident and are suffering from any of the following:

Neck pain
Sharp, shooting pains in the arms
Numbness and/ or tingling in the arms or hands
Painful headaches or dizziness
Constant muscle soreness

…there may be cause for concern. This is the most important information you will ever read about your injuries.

It’s amazing how different life can be after a collision.

One minute everything is fine, the next you are hurting for days and uncertain if life will ever get back to normal. Normal daily activities you used to perform with ease, like reading, working, concentrating, exercising or even sleeping, now take more energy and cause annoying pain that may even prevent you from doing these activities again.

If you feel like this, or have any of the symptoms listed above, you could be suffering from whiplash. Whiplash is an injury to the spine caused by a jerking motion, either backward, forward or from the side.

Whiplash can severely damage your ligaments and tendons, even if you feel just a little sore after the accident. If not healed properly, painful scar tissue will develop, causing misery in your neck joints for decades.

One medical study concluded 43% of patients “will suffer long-term symptoms following ‘whiplash’ injury, for which no conventional treatment has proven to be effective.”

This means that almost half the people who have neck trauma from a car wreck will suffer for years. Plus the traditional methods of treatment like neck collars, ‘wait-and-see’, and pain pills are not working.

Could This Non-Invasive, Natural Treatment Be The Answer To Your Pain?

I am Dr. Russell Brokstein, DC, clinic director at Hometown Family Wellness Center in Freehold, NJ. I’ve been helping people heal and be pain free after car wrecks for 13 years in Freehold and the surrounding towns of Marlboro, Manalapan, Howell, Colts Neck, Morganville, Jackson and Old Bridge. Chiropractic treatment has proven to be a very effective method of healing whiplash injuries. Here’s the results of one chiropractic study…

It’s Extremely Important To Have A Professional Evaluation

In my “Car Wreck Evaluation” we cover the following:

An in-depth consultation about your problem where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.
A complete neuromuscular examination.
A state of the art computerized exam to determine if a pinched nerve in the neck is contributing to your pain. This is an important step in collecting proof of your injury.
A thorough analysis of your exam and computerized findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.
You’ll see everything first hand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, like it has been for so many other patients.

I’ve seen too many people come in years after their car accident, and have nasty, degenerative arthritis, most of which could have been prevented with the right care early on. I’m tired of seeing this scenario over and over, so it’s important you you receive a special evaluation to help make a difference.

Here’s How To Get Rid Of Your Pain

With my Evaluation we’ll be able find the problem and then correct it. Think of how you’ll feel in just a few short weeks. You’ll be feeling your life change for the better. Starting your body on the way to a pain-free, normal living. Feeling tight joints rest, relax, free up. Feeling muscles tied in knots become more supple.

As you begin to see motion returning to your joints, you’re preventing and reducing chances of disability and a crippling future. You’re playing golf again, doing yard work or playing with the kids…without pain.

Here’s What To Do About Your Pain

The sooner you get started with your consultation, exam and computerized assessment, you will be on the road to feeling like you did before the accident and enjoying your normal activities once again.

What will your pain feel like months, even years, from today?

A study published in the Journal of Bone and Surgery looked at people who had been in a car accident 15 years ago. They found that 70% of the whiplash injured patients continued to complain of problems related to the original accident.

With women it was even higher — 80% still had symptoms after 15 years!

Don’t let scar tissue build up and be painful for life. Get checked by a qualified chiropractor immediately after your accident to prevent you from suffering.

The majority of times people come into our Freehold Chiropractic office with pain and they don’t know what was the cause. They either tell me that they woke up with the pain, they bent over to pick up something they dropped on the floor or something like I just got up from my chair and couldn’t move. So what was the straw that broke your back?

Many times there isn’t an accident, trauma or other event that is THE cause. One has to think of every little thing from the time you were born that accumulates stress into your body. When you were born the doctor pulled on your

head and neck to deliver you. Learning to walk you probably fell a couple thousand times. Do you have brother and sisters? If so, did you ever fight, push each other over? What do you think the effects of sitting at desks at schools or carrying heavy backpacks can have on your neck and back? Do you play sports and experience injuries? Sitting at a desk using a computer all day puts pressure on the neck, shoulders and back. Did you know there is a new condition called “text neck”? Think of texting on your phone with your head bent forward and down looking at that phone. Have you ever had a fender bender? Just a 3 MPH bumper hit is enough to cause a whiplash injury. Do you sleep on your stomach? If you sleep on your side or back do you use proper support with a pillow? When you lift things do you always bend with your knees using proper form? How about when you are exercising are you lifting the correct ways? If you are a woman and wear high heels, do you know the imbalances it causes throughout your legs and spine? Everybody wears shoes that aren’t properly fitted for them which causes foot pronation, which when walking like this is like driving a car with misaligned tires.

So, there is no straw that broke your back! It’s the accumulative effects of everything you have done since you were born that has built up until your body cant take it anymore. Imagine never brushing your teeth or going to the dentist until you have pain or rotting teeth, driving your cars for years before getting oil, lube, filter or wheels aligned and breaks adjusted OR never having your air conditioner or heater checked until they break down. Instead you know it makes sense to do things to maintain your car, your teeth and appliances. Your spine is the most important part of your body as it protects your nervous system which controls all functions of your body. Doesn’t it make sense to maintain it? It deserves the best care to maintain and prevent problems. So don’t wait for the straw that broke your back! Chiropractors are the only doctors that help prevent and maintain your body and health! When was your last adjustment?
