Auto Injury Treatment in Fort Lauderdale
Dr. Donna Watson has been treating auto accident injuries for over 28 years. Her experience in treating auto accident injuries helps her evaluate your unique injury and provide the exact treatment protocols you need.
The National Safety Council reported nearly 2 million non-fatal auto accident injuries in 2019.
Auto accident injuries can develop into chronic health conditions, subjecting victims to a lifetime of pain and discomfort. By seeking treatment immediately after an auto accident at A Place of Health Chiropractic in Fort Lauderdale, you can catch any injuries before they worsen and protect your future well-being with Dr. Donna Watson’s professional chiropractic services.
The Dangers of “Low Impact” Accidents
Many of these so-called ‘low impact’ injuries do not immediately present external signs or noticeable symptoms. As a result, most patients do not seek immediate medical treatment. Unfortunately, many of these low impact injuries can become exacerbated with time.
Before she became a chiropractor, Dr. Watson was a police officer who saw firsthand the damage a seemingly minor injury could have on a patient’s health. Injuries like whiplash can still cause pain and discomfort six months after the initial accident without proper treatment.
Why You Should Get an Evaluation
After an auto accident, it is essential to receive a medical evaluation from your chiropractor in Fort Lauderdale. Your medical practitioner will conduct a thorough exam and determine if you have suffered any injuries, whether minor or major. A low impact injury could transform into a debilitating disorder that will end up costing you time, money, and your quality of life. Even minor damage can lead to serious health consequences, so it’s paramount that you contact A Place of Health Chiropractic right away if you have been in an auto accident.
Florida’s PIP 14 Day-Rule
The state of Florida currently enforces a PIP (personal injury protection) 14-day rule when it comes to auto accident injuries. The tenet states that anyone injured in an auto accident must seek medical treatment within 14 days of the inciting event, or else risk losing their insurance coverage and potential compensation. Considering that Florida has one of the highest rates of auto accidents in the country, this makes it even more important to seek treatment as soon as possible.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, more than 300,000 car crashes occurred in 2021. More than 60 percent of these auto accidents resulted in injuries to the involved parties.
