Individuals
injured in automobile accidents should have a thorough spinal, orthopedic,
neurological and joint examination. It is not uncommon for individuals
to have undetected problems that could surface weeks, months and
even years after traumatic incidents. With the advancement of
bumper technology it is not uncommon for automobiles receive little
damage and yet have occupants suffer serious spinal injury. If
caught early enough, specific chiropractic adjustments can reduce
inflammation and minimize scar tissue.
Dr.

When
injured employees report to our office, we send out an initial report

treatment or have become dissatisfied with care, you are welcome
to consult our office. We offer second opinions
in injury cases. Dr. Caraotta has been a consultant

in documenting these conditions
and presenting them appropriately to insurance companies
