What
You Should Know If You've Been In A Car Accident!
From: San Gabriel Accident and Injury Center
Dear Neighbor,
Did you
know one of the most stressful aspects of living in modern
life is dealing with the problems that arise after auto accident?
Were you
also aware that some auto accident injuries are hidden and
seldom detected for months or even years?
As a result,
a lot of accident victims settle there cases with the insurance
companies before evaluated from Doctor trained in soft tissue
injuries.
This Could Be A Big Mistake.
Why? Because
once you settle your case you lose the right for case if you
need it.
A good
rule of thumb is to get educated in your rights, then make
a decision, there is no reason to rush; it can only hurt you.
It is
your position that if you were indeed injured, you should
get the care you need to get back to the way you felt and
functioned just before the accident.
Now, it
is not the responsibility of the insurance company to pay
for anything more than that. They are not responsible for
pre-existing injuries; only the injuries sustained from accident.
Even if
you are just sore, you should get checked out immediately.
Because
you may experience pain, numbness, headaches, muscle stiffness,
fatigue, and other problems including arthritis many months
down the road.
Remember,
Nothing is more important than your health when you start
to
lose it.
Here's
where the problem begins... Most people who suffer from
an auto accident have one thing on their mind: Their Automobile!
Common
questions include:
"Who
is going to fix my car?" "What will I drive mean
time?"
"Will my insurance rates go up?" "Who is going
to pay for it?"
And the
last thing on their mind is:
"Am
I Really O.K.?"
Not only
are auto accidents an inconvenience and hassle, a common general
complaint of auto accident victims is that they don't feel
their normal self.
You may
also be experiencing obvious pains and symptoms like muscle
stiff-ness or spasm, neck pain, headaches, numbness and tingling,
back pain, difficulty sleeping, irritability, memory loss,
fatigue, difficulty concentrating and many other difficulties
or worse than that, you may be injured and feel nothing at
all.
Either
way, did you know that auto accidents can cause post traumatic
osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis
can ruin your posture (giving you slumped or hump back appearance).
Osteoarthritis can cause the disc in your spine to degenerate
and create scar tissue formation leading to chronic stiffness
and inability to move properly.
When this
happens, simple tasks like turning your neck becomes painful
and almost impossible.
As a matter
of fact...
Most
Doctors Are not Trained In
The Detection Of These Hidden Injuries...
How are
these hidden injuries detected?
If you have been in auto accident, you need a doctor that
is trained in the biomechanics of the human body; someone
who treats these injuries every day.
That means
that he or she can perform orthopedic and neurological tests
as well functional tests that can assess soft tissue damage,
muscle strength, range of motion, and joint and nerve function.
In addition,
x-rays can be taken to find out if there has been any structural
damage
My name
is Dr. Vrajlal Radadia, my office has been treating Auto Accident
patients for over 21 years now.
We evaluate
auto accident victims, and make my appropriate referrals to
other health care providers if needed; including orthopedic
doctors, neurologists, and MRI centers.
Our
primary Responsibility Is Giving You The Care If You Need
It,
And Submitting The Required Medical Reports To
The Insurance Company So Your Rights Are Protected.
Unfortunately,
there are people who seek treatment who are not injured for
the sake of financial gain. If you are one of those people,
please do not call our office.
There
are also people who are injured who aren't getting care they
need. If you are injured call us, we can help you a lot; you
will not be treated for months on end. We want you to get
fixed and out our office as soon as possible!
If we
can't help you we will refer you to a Doctor or facility that
can.
The office
is located at 915 1/2 E. Las tunas Drive in San Gabriel, CA
91776, Two Blocks East of San Gabriel Blvd on the North side
of the street. If you work late, you can come in up to 7:00
p.m.
We have
treated literally hundreds and hundreds of auto accident victims
just like you.
We are
trained in handling the sometimes confusing forms and paperwork
that need to be fill out to make sure that...
Your
rights are protected and your injuries are properly documented.
If you
have been in auto accident recently, there are some important
decisions you have to make and if I were you, I'd take these
decisions very carefully.
Q: Should I See An Attorney Before I See Dr. Radadia?
A:
It is important to get checked out by doctor first, that way
the findings from your exam will allow you the information
you need in order to decide if an attorney is necessary. If
necessary, we can refer you to a reputable and qualified attorney.
Q:
If I need Treatment For This Injury, Do I Have To Pay For
It Myself?
A:
No, only in very rare circumstances does the patient pay for
their care as they go. Our office provides care "on credit"
when patients are represented by an attorney. Some car insurance
policies have what is called "med Pay." That means
that your medical bills will be paid at 100% up to a certain
limit. We can assist you in obtaining this information.Using
your med will not raise your premiums.
Q:
Insurance Company Has Been Calling Me Wants To Settle, What
Should I Do?
A:
Do not sign or settle until you have had us evaluate your
injury for you. If you settle your injury is fully resolved,
you will be completely on you own and will have to pay out
of pocket for you care.
Q:
I've Been To The Hospital And My Medical Doctor, Do I Really
Need To See Dr. Radadia?
A:
You need a doctor that focuses in the treatment and diagnosis
of auto accident injuries. Usually hospitals will check vital
signs, and release the patient with pain relief medication.
They normally do not treat the under- lying improper musculoskeletal
bio-mechanics that can often do lead to future pain. If you
are still having problems, you should get second opinion.
You must
understand that pills do not correct structural or soft tissue
damage. There are special therapies designed for that, and
we offer these modalities at our San Gabriel office.
Q:
Dose Your Care Hurts?
A:
Absolutely not. The care is very gentle and quite soothing.
Most patient can hardly wait to get their care.
Q:
Is The Care Safe?
A:
Yes, extremely. Particularly when compared to the side effects
from medication. Listen to some of our patient speak...
Listen To What Our Patients Speek...
Our
Patient Speak...
"I
was injured in an automobile accident on May 15, 19991. I
had been receiving conventional physical therapy of heat and
massage before I came to Dr. Radadia. The therapy had left
me in pain and suffering severe headaches that would last
for several days. It was in desperation that I sought
help from Dr. Radadia.
After
my first treatment my headaches were gone and the pins
and needles in my arm and hand vanished. Further, I was
always treated with great dignity, concern and respect by
Dr. Radadia and his staff. I now feel better than I have
felt in years. Thank you for restoring my health!"
Eleen
Galloway, Azusa
"I
suffered Whiplash, back and shoulder injuries. I was flat
on my back for three weeks with pain killer and ice packs.
The next several weeks my doctor ordered more drugs, physical
therapy and still there was no improvement. I have developed
swollen head, blurred vision headaches and stiffened neck.
By eight weeks I was desperate for relief from my pain.
Then,
nothing less than a miracle, led me to find and enlist the
care of Dr. Radadia, D.C. He is tremendously skilled, dedicated,
compassionate and true healer and teacher. He relived pain
during my first appointment with him. Subsequent treatments
eliminated all my symptoms. Even my blurred vision vanished,
and the improvement in my sight is better than it was before
the accident. Now, maintenance care and education have brought
me to a path of improved health and vitality I hadn't felt
in years. I gained 1 1/4" in height due to better posture.
Dr.
Radadia, D.C. has my sincere gratitude, highest praise, and
recommendations. He is tops in his field, and just maybe he
has a little help from above."
Teresa
Sheppered Vizcarra, Glendora
"I
received treatments from about 18 doctors. They all were
best of the best and helped me a lot, but when I received
the treatments from Dr. Radadia, I noticed something different
about his treatments! I am getting results!"
Helen
Chen, Northridge
"I
always feel Great after every treatment. I recommend Dr.
Radadia to Everyone. He is Great!"
Daniel Peck, San Gabriel
"Now
I see Dr. Radadia regularly I feel better and my Headaches
are Gone!"
Alicia Martinez, San Gabriel
"I
strongly recommend the services of Dr. Radadia, his professionalism,
knowledge and genuine concern in his patients is unmatched
by any doctor which I have seen."
