There are many Chiropractors that treat personal injury and workman's compensation patients. Within the Chiropractic profession there is also a great range of practice styles with potential problems in choosing the right Chiropractor. Use of unproven techniques, over treating patients, poor documentation, no justification for treatment, general nonspecific computer generated notes and inadequate / brief reports, coordination of benefits problems, no involvement of independent physician second opinion, and poor reputation with insurers all make it difficult to deal with insurance companies and settling cases or winning litigation.
How is our facility different?
• Physician run and operated.
• Consistency of care - one physician treats the patient.
• All treatment utilized can be supported by current relevant guidelines and research, and / or professional association recommendations.

daily notes and reports with specific functional changes, outcome
measures, and progress treatment by treatment. Fast record turnaround.
• Prompt communication if issues of patient cooperation, needed referral, or intervening events occur.
• Provider for major area insurance plans. Coordination of benefits.
• Utilization of collections attorney where required and appropriate to collect from insurer and not your client.

plan for coordination of benefits and to involve an independent second medical opinion.
