Rialto AUTO ACCIDENT & WHIPLASH victims: We can help you avoid years of nagging pain or serious problems!
Types of Car Accident Injuries
There are many types of car accident injuries:
The first 24-78 hours after a car accident are crucial. Whiplash and injuries to the neck and back can occur even at pretty low speeds, and are often not felt right away. Post-accident stress and adrenaline can often mask pain from a car injury for several hours and even days.
If you've been in an auto accident, have been diagnosed with whiplash, or THINK you may have whiplash or other spinal injuries, you can't afford NOT to see a qualified injury recovery specialist right away. Delaying your treatment can delay your recovery!
Protect yourself with early detection and correction Whether or not you have any symptoms now, if you've been in an accident- however small -you might have undetected structural injuries such as whiplash, spinal subluxations (misalignments), or bone, soft tissue, or nerve damage that could cause you serious problems and expense weeks, months, even years down the road.
Even if you didn't have to go to the hospital or you went and the ER physician or your family doctor says you're fine except for whiplash or other mild soft-tissue damage, seek another opinion from an injury specialist immediately.
Why? Because the typical ER doctor or general practitioner (internist) is not specifically trained in structural injury and its potential long term effects. Even soft tissue injuries, particularly to spinal ligaments, can have serious long-term consequences if not correctly diagnosed and treated right away.
HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT TO SEE A CHIROPRACTIC DOCTOR FOLLOWING A CAR ACCIDENT?
It can vary by the individual and severity of the accident, but within the first three to seven days it is generally recommended to see an auto injury chiropractor for a variety of reasons.From an injury perspective ;car accident chiropractors want to address the issue immediately to mitigate any further damage and accelerate the recovery process. Starting this process before symptoms peak can help aid the path to recovery.
From an insurance coverage perspective ; whether or not you are at fault, insurance companies give a relatively small window to seek care for injuries related to a car accident. As this window narrows, it can become increasingly challenging to receive compensation for continued professional medical care and post-accident therapy and rehabilitation.

WHAT IS WHIPLASH?
Whiplash, or sometimes called neck strain, refers to an injury of the neck that is the result of a sudden excessive force that causes the neck and head to jerk forward and then backward or vice versa, such as in an auto crash which causes damage to the muscle or tendons (the bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones). Similarly and yet different, neck sprains are caused by tearing of the ligaments (the tissues that connect the bones to each other). Both strains and sprains typically affect muscles, discs, nerves, ligaments, and tendons in the delicate structure of the neck and are treated similarly. These injuries can also occur in contact sports, other activities, or work accidents that might involve a sudden impact.
Although whiplash is a common injury experienced by millions of Americans every year, it can result in structural damage that is difficult to detect and correct. If not properly diagnosed and treated, these injuries can undermine the structural balance of the body and set off a "domino effect" that can exacerbate over time producing a wide variety of symptoms from headaches and extremity pain or numbness, to loss of mobility or even mental function. Whiplash injuries are a serious problem and 30% of whiplash injury patients still have problems one year after the accident.
If you are experiencing a headache that worsens or persists, have weakness or trouble talking, confusion, dizziness, nausea or are excessively sleepy, you need to see a doctor right away as you may be experiencing a concussion related to the injury which caused your whiplash.
Symptoms of Whiplash Injury
While each person will experience symptoms differently, any of the following could indicate a whiplash injury:
Will My Insurance Pay For Chiropractic Care?
If you've been in an auto accident, your insurance should pay for 100% care-at least up to a reasonable limit.
For other circumstances, coverage may depend on a few factors.
Do you have chiropractic coverage?
Treatment Options
After diagnosis using physical examination and X-rays (CT scan, and/or MRI are sometimes also recommended), conventional medical treatments may involve ice applications, pain and anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxing medications, and/or physical rehabilitation. A cervical collar may be prescribed as well for severe cases.
The Chiropractic Alternative
Because Chiropractic Physicians are uniquely trained in human structure or biomechanics, they are uniquely qualified to address the structural damage that occurs in a whiplash injury. While they may use many of the same diagnostic and treatment tools, the care plan is designed to correct the underlying damage, not merely to mitigate the symptoms.
Relying less on drugs and more on an in-depth knowledge of correct or normal structural health, our chiropractor will use a series of adjustments and exercises or physical rehabilitation to relieve symptoms, restore normal alignment and function, and "retrain" muscles and soft tissue to "hold" the correction long-term. Best of all, MOST of these injuries can be treated naturally without risky surgeries or dangerous drugs by working with your body's innate healing powers.

Auto Accident Injuries
First, remember, nothing is more important than your health, especially when you start to lose it.
Most people have one thing on their mind: their automobile!
They worry: "What about my car?" "What will I drive?" "What will happen to my insurance?" "Who is going to pay for this?"
The last thing on their minds is: "Have I been damaged?"
The damage from spinal nerve stress may take months or even years to surface, not to mention post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis can ruin your posture. Osteoarthritis can cause the discs in your spine to degenerate and create scarring, leading to chronic stiffness and the inability to move properly.
A Chiropractic exam and proper treatment can save an accident victim from much pain and disability later.
Our concern is to give you the care you need, if you need it. If we cannot help you, we will refer you to a doctor who can.
Second, remember, once you settle your case, you lose the right to have your insurance company pay for treatment if you need it.
A good rule of thumb is to be informed of your rights and then make a decision.

Testimonials
*"After being involved in a car accident, I was experiencing loss of mobility as well as neck and back pain (whiplash). After receiving treatment in the emergency room I was released, being given a prescription for muscle relaxers and main medication, and told to rest. I am a working mother and Taekwondo Instructor "rest" was not an option. I then consulted with Dr. Bo and treatment began immediately. After only a couple of treatments I was moving better and the pain significantly reduced. Now, I feel great, the pain is gone, and I can move freely again. All without medication!"
"I love my chiropractor."
Maria W.
*"Dr. Janczar has been my chiropractor for 21 years and still counting. She has seen me through 3 whiplash injuries and 1 lower back injury.
I know how important chiropractic treatments are for my health and well being. If I wait too long in between treatments I will get a terrible headache that will last for days.
I have 2 curvatures in my spine; 1 in my neck and the other in my lower back. My neck gives me the most trouble. On 2 occasions my pain was behind my eye and my arm went numb. I went to see Dr. Janczar and after my treatment the pain was gone within minutes!
Thank you so much Dr. Janczar for all the care you have given me and continue to give me."
Jennifer G.
*"At the end of April 2009, I got sciatica. I had terrible pain in my left lower back that ran down the side of my leg and into my large toe. My ankle started to give out and I twisted it many times. It became very swollen and painful. I couldn’t walk or sleep at night. My friend recommended her chiropractor, Dr. Janczar, I quickly took her up on her recommendation. My medical doctor just prescribed medication that was not helping and I did not want to take it because of the side effects. When I came to Dr. Janczar’s office, the clinic atmosphere was warm and pleasant. I felt better after Dr. Janczar’s treatment and after 6 weeks, the pain was completely gone and I can dance again. I still feel great and I am grateful to Dr. Janczar for giving me the ability to laugh and enjoy my life again. I highly recommend Dr. Janczar to anyone who may be suffering like I did. I really trust her because she is responsible, caring and has a heart of gold."
C.Z.
*"After 25 years of sciatica problems and back pain my health plan finally offered chiropractic services as an alternative to taking anti- inflammatory and pain medications. The treatments and therapies used to relax the muscles that were spasmed on my back helped me get back to a quality of life I could enjoy without medications or pain."
Manuel B.
*"Last year, I came in to see Dr. Bo with severe dizziness. At first I thought I had an ear infection so I got some antibiotics from my family doctor they seemed to help while I was taking them but when the prescription was finished the dizziness returned this time even worse than before.
Dr. Bo has been my chiropractor for many years and has helped me with many back and neck problems. On this particular day, I was shopping and I went to turn and I felt like I was going to pass out, it took all I had to get myself home from the store, my neck had become so stiff I could not even move it. I called Dr. Bo, explained to her what was going on. She said come on in, but have someone drive me. I waited for my husband, by the time he got home I was really not feeling right at all…We get to Dr. Bo’s office she and I talked for a while she was very concerned that I might be having a medical issue rather than just pain in my neck. She took my blood pressure etc. and all was well. She gave me some therapy and then adjusted my neck and all of a sudden the dizziness was gone….I actually had circulation flowing again to the top of my head and believe it or not even my ear did not hurt anymore.
Thank you Dr. Bo for all you do!"
Terry S.
*"I was having upper back and shoulder pain when I went looking for a local chiropractor. I found Dr. Bo through my insurance company’s list of Chiropractors. My symptoms were a combination of carpal tunnel and tension and stress from losing my job. The stress was affecting me for a few months. The carpal tunnel was with me for about a year. I was losing sleep and very uncomfortable. Dr. Bo has been very helpful in getting me back to normal. She always tells me how the adjustments will help me. I’ve been seeing Dr. Bo since 1998 and I will continue as long as I can. I usually see Dr. Bo before I seek medical care for my aches and pains. She always resolves the problem! I feel wonderful when she completes my care."
Emily M.
*"I came to see Dr. Janczar after talking to her mother. Migraines, neck and back pain almost stopped my life. My primary care doctor prescribed medication for the migraines and other pain, but what really helped was chiropractic care and massage therapy. Dr. Janczar and the staff are very supportive and helpful. Dr. Bo also gave me helpful suggestions for activities and exercises I could do at home to promote improvement. My condition has improved steadily throughout treatment. I now very seldom get migraines or pain in the neck or back.
Life is easier to bear!"
Patricia C.
*"My apprehension to being adjusted came with a sigh of relief after meeting Dr. Janczar. I explained my back discomfort and Dr. Janczar thoroughly went over the treatment plan and made sure I was well educated and comfortable before we began treatment. I never have a concern now to receive chiropractic care. Dr Bo is very considerate to your medical needs."

*"The Doctor was fast and effective when it came to helping me with a pinched nerve I had in my lower back. She helped me regain the ability to sit normal again. She even worked on my neck and spine, which felt amazing! I already scheduled to see her again and continue with this much needed TLC."
Kathy F.

*"Dr. Bo and her staff are GREAT!! I visit the office for massage therapy and chiropractic work after my endurance race competitions and leave feeling loose and relieved of pressure/ tightness throughout my body. I highly recommend Dr. Bo and her team if you are seeking professional recovery methods.
As a fitness coach who trains over fifty people, I have suggested my members visit Dr. Bo's office as part of their rest and recovery. In addition, my wife has gone there for a massage from Stephanie and loved it!
Thank you Dr. Bo for truly caring about your patients and delivering a great experience!"
