Bridging the medical-legal gap

Joint Injury Treatment

Our chiropractic care for joint injuries focuses on non-invasive manual therapy to realign joints, reduce pressure on nerves, and restore mobility. Rather than just masking symptoms we aim to address the root cause, often a joint that has become “fixated” or lost its normal movement due to trauma or repetitive strain.

You can talk about Joint Injury Treatment with the following specialists in any of our offices:

• Dr. Maria Quintero, DC, CCSP

What should I NOT DO in a car accident?

  1. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company. It can be used against you later on. You want to control your case and the release of information. Insurance companies must ask you for your permission in order to record an interview.
  2. Do not make friendly conversation with the adjuster. Stick to business only and only tell them the “Who”, “What”, “When”, and “Where” not the “How”. Keep your answers short use “Yes” and “No”.
  3. Do not give out information about your family or let them know who your doctors are.
  4. Do not sign a medical release. Federal law protects your medical records. The insurance companies may use this release to dig through all your medical history even things not related to the car accident.

When would expert witness testimony be needed in my case?

Expert testimony may be needed when injuries, treatment, diagnosis, or accident-related damages are disputed. In those cases, Dr. Quintero can help explain the medical evidence behind your injury claim.

What is the difference between soreness and a serious injury?

Mild soreness usually improves within days. Pain that worsens, radiates, limits movement, causes numbness, affects sleep, or triggers spasms may indicate a more serious accident injury needing evaluation.

What should I bring to my first appointment after a crash?

Bring your photo ID, auto insurance information, accident report if available, attorney information if applicable, prior medical records, imaging results, and a list of symptoms since the crash.
