WHY SHOULD DC’s TAKE THIS WHIPLASH PROGRAM
Chiropractors provide treatment to about 40% of all non-serious car accident claimants in America and successfully manage the multiplicity of conditions that result from these crashes. The physician is required to know how to take a history, perform an examination, make a diagnosis, provide appropriate management strategies, and articulate his/her findings and conclusions to patients, third-party payers and attorneys. It is imperative that the managing clinician be knowledgeable regarding the types of injuries that result from automobile accidents and aware of the complexities involved in treating the injured patient.
