Personal Injury
Dr. Jimenez Personal Injury Chiropractic Treatment Team. Personal injury claims are not settled without the proper documentation showing that chiropractic care was a reasonable and necessary medical expense. Accidents or injuries not only cause physical harm to you or a loved one, being involved in a personal injury case can often be confusing and complicated.
These types of circumstances are, unfortunately, fairly common, and when the individual is faced with pain and discomfort as a result of trauma, an accident, or an underlying condition that has been aggravated by the injury, finding the right treatment for their specific complication can be another challenge on its own.
Dr. Alex Jimenez’s compilation of personal injury articles highlights a variety of p.i. Cases, including automobile accidents resulting in whiplash, summarize various effective treatments, such as chiropractic care.
