Yes, Chiropractic Care Should Be Included in Your Personal Injury Case
We understand why people have this question. After all, many insurance companies do not cover chiropractic care at all. This makes them wonder – is chiropractic care a “real” medical expense when it comes to personal injury cases? The answer is simple: It can and should be included in the damages you seek after an accident.
In fact, many experts believe that one of the best treatments for soft issue injuries is chiropractic care. When you consider that one of the most common accidents is a car accident, and many injuries within a car accident are soft tissue injuries, it is easy to see why it should be covered. Chiropractic treatment has been shown to lower pain, reduce muscle spasm, and help improve freedom of movement after an accident.
Your Attorney Can Address Challenges to Your Care
There is no question that the defense is going to do anything they can to reduce their costs in your case. They could do this by questioning the validity of your chiropractic care. Worse, they might question whether your injuries were serious in the first place. There are many options we can choose between based on what is best for your case. This might include:
- Securing testimony from medical experts.
- Advise you to keep getting treatment.
- Work with your primary care physician to prove the validity of your injuries and your need for chiropractic care.
If you believe that the insurance company is going to try and deny your chiropractic care, you might be tempted to stop treatment. This can actually work against your case because the insurance company might claim it as evidence that your injury was not serious or that your chiropractic care was not necessary. Talk to your attorney before deciding how to proceed with your medical care.
