Car Accident injury information by whiplash expert Dr Barry Marks, DC Orange, CA
Auto accidents are a common occurrence in Orange County. Each year thousands of Orange residents are injured in collisions between vehicles in the county’s over stuffed freeways.
Here are some of the most commonly known factors or “injury intensifiers,” that can increase your risk for injury in an accident.
Rear impact: rear impact collisions cause more damage to the human spine than any other type of collision.
Head restraint position: a head restraint that is positioned incorrectly greatly increases your chance for injury
Head position: if you are looking to the side, down to your stereo or into your rear view mirror on impact, your injury potential is raised
Surprised: being surprised and therefore unable to brace for impact makes it 15x more likely that you will be injured
Female gender: females suffer injury more easily than males due to neck size and other anatomic factors
Pre-existing arthritis or disc disease: an already compromised neck even if it was asymptomatic previously, makes the neck less resilient to injury
To learm more about these risk factors and others and what you can do to minimize your chance of injury in an auto accident, join the Free online seminar at www.TruthAboutWhiplash.com. This free web based audio seminar with downloadable .pdf fact sheets will teach every accident victim what they need to know about their whiplash injury. Physicians and lawyers will also benefit from this free auto accident seminar by learning key facts about the truth behind motor vechicle collisions and their treatment.
Auto Accident and Car Accident facts by Orange County Car Accident Specialist, Dr Barry L Marks, DC, Orange, CA
Here are some interesting auto accident facts gleaned from our friends at Spine Research Institute of San Diego…with commentary
Approx 3 million whiplash injuries occur each year in US That’s a lot of injuries and when you consider other facts revealed below, you’ll realize just how common it is to become injured and suffer permanent pain and disability, despite the fact that insurance companies attempt to tell victims they are not injured or that auto accidents are not serious.
45% of chronic neck pain sufferers blame past MVC as the cause of their pain
Wow, almost half of all chronic neck pain sufferers attribute a car accident as their source of pain…does that sound like auto accidents are simple, uncomplicated injuries?
Females are twice as likely to suffer whiplash injury than males
The most commonly cited reason for this is neck size. Females, in general, have thinner, weaker necks than their male counterparts and therefore are not as resilient to whiplash forces.
Males and females are equally likely to suffer long term residual pain and/or impairment after a whiplash injury
Interestingly, even though females are more easily injured, once someone is injured it does not matter what their gender, they are just as likely to suffer long term impairment and pain from their car accident.
Approximately 35% of all victims of rear impact motor vehicle collisions become chronically painful
Here’s a powerful statistic that flies in the face of insurance adjusters who often claim whiplash injuries go away with our without treatment in a matter of weeks. Sourced from numerous top flight medical and scientific papers, this fact is very troublesome. When you consider that 3,000,000 injuries occur every year and 35% of them will suffer chronic pain, that means every single year there are 1,050,000 new chronic pain sufferers in the U.S.
These facts clearly point to the fact that whplash injuires are very common, are serious and often lead to long-term pain and impairment. For these reasons it is imperative to get checked by a auto accident medical specialist who understands these facts and can properly manage these complex injuires.
Car Accident Injury Information Orange County
By Auto Accident Treatment Specialist Dr Barry L Marks, DC, Orange, CA
The most common reason people continue to suffer from neck pain and headaches long after the accident is due to abnormal alignment and biomechanics of the cervical spine (neck). Proper management of whiplash-type injuries involves rehabilitating the spine as much as possible to maximize motion, alignment and strength.
If you have suffered an auto accident and still suffer from chronic pain after treatment has concluded, here is what needs to be done to evaluate your neck to see what can be done to improve it:
A review of your x-rays is required. You should have had a set of x-rays taken on day one of your treatment and then again on a re-exam to see what improvements have been made and whether or not your neck has recovered from the injury. The angle or curve of your neck needs to be measured and compared to normal. This is best seen on a “side view” or “lateral projection.” Also, an analysis of the motion between each spinal bone must be made. This is done on bending films also known as “flexion and extension” views.
An analysis of your neck and upper back musculature for symmetry and spasm as well as compare the muscles in the back of your neck to those in the front. An imbalance often creates abnormal mechanics and chronic pain. An assessment of your neck muscle strength. Weakness of the muscles in the back of the neck causes abnormal motion.
An examination of your spinal nerves in the neck area to see if they are functioning properly must be done.
A competent chiropractor specializing in the area of auto accident injuries should be able to easily perform these checks for you and determine the underlying cause of the pain so that an effective treatment program can be initiated. But beware the “generalist” chiropractor or medical doctor who may treat whiplash, but does not specialize in whiplash. There is a big difference.
Many chronic whiplash pain cases are caused by ineffective treatment that was ended prematurely because the doctor did not understand the need to fully rehabilitate the neck for maximum recovery or just didn’t know how. I trust this information will help.

Car Accident Information from Dr Barry L Marks, DC
Auto Accident Injury Specialist Orange, Orange County, CA
If you’ve been the victim of an auto accident in the past 24 to 72 hours, the clock is ticking…
If you do not take decisive action within the next few hours you could be seriously jeopardizing your access to proper medical treatment and a fair settlement. This one simple action can keep you from suffering an uphill battle and endless hassles with the insurrance company.
Unfortuantely, this is information your doctor will not tell you. Most likely neither will you attorney.
Why not?
Because they probably aren’t aware of this important fact. But trust me as someone who has been involved in this industry for over 23 years and someone who has seen the inner workings of the big insurance corporations, this is something you need to know about and take care of immediately.
See, there are certain things insurance adjusters are looking for in your case. And if they don’t see certain things done within certain time frames, they will automatically discount your case…alot. By contrast, if they find certain things in your case, things done the way they like, your case value sky rockets!
Look, you don’t want your case discounted just because you didn’t do one simple thing do you? It would be a shame.
And wouldn’t you like to make sure you get access to the best possible medical care AND ensure a fair settlement? Of course you would.
So right now, before you do anything else, follow this link: Whiplash 72 Hours. You’ll thank me later.
Car Accidents result in medical expenses, lost time from work, pain and suffering, vehicle damage, and other damages.
What car accident settlements should include:
Compensation for medical expenses including office visits and therapy charges for chiropractors, medical doctors, physical therapists, and surgeons. Medications both over the counter and prescription are also compensated for.
Compensation for lost time from work. You will need a signed letter or form from your employer and/or check stubs that prove that you lost income as a result of your injury.
Compensation for pain and suffering. “Pain and suffering” refers to the time you were unable to enjoy your normal life due to pain from the car accident. It is also intended for the period of time you endured pain while still working or performing daily household activities.
Compensation for your vehicle damage.
Compensation for any other incidental expenses you incur as a direct result of the collision.

Car Accident Injury Treatment Info
Car Accident Injuries (whiplash) must be treated. But not all treatments work. Hard medical evidence suggests that certain types of treatment are far superior at treating this problem.
Untreated and poorly treated cases of whiplash result in life long problems and suffering.
It is estimated that 1% of the entire US population suffers from chronic headaches as the result of auto accident injuries otherwise known as whiplash. That means millions of headache sufferers are directly caused by auto accidents.
Improperly treated auto accident injury victims are more prone to long-term health problems such as premature osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. One study indicated a 600% chance of early osteoarthritis following car accident injuries if just one key finding was present on x-ray.
Unfortunately, HMO doctors, your family medical physician and even your general chiropractor are likely unaware of all the complexities involved in this type of injury. The result is improper treatment that does not address the important structural and functional damage that has occurred as a result of the car accident induced injury.

Car accident injuries are a common and serious problem. Auto accident injuries require prompt medical evaluation and treatment.
But not all treatments are the same. Evidence from around the globe suggests one form of care is vastly superior for the care of car accident injuries or whiplash. Other studies suggest an ominous outcome for those not receiving proper or adequate care.
Conditions such as osteoarthritis and disc disease are chief among permanent residuals if auto accident injuries are not adequately cared for.
But how do you know if the treatment you are receiving is proper? How do you know if your doctor has the requisite training and qualifications to provide not only appropriate treatment, but also car accident treatment that minimizes chronic and disabling problems like headaches, arthritis and disc disease?

Symptoms from an auto accident may be delayed.
Medical experts and researchers from around the globe have found evidence that many cases of “whiplash” type injuries from car accidents can remain hidden for weeks, months and sometimes even years before tell-tale symptoms emerge.1,2,3,4,5,6
The symptoms of auto accident related injuries can include:
headaches
neck pain
neck stiffness
numbness in hands
dizziness
fatigue
nausea
irritability
visual disturbances (double vision, blurred vision, loss of sharpness, floaters)
A delay in symptoms is common
Auto accident injuries are much more prevalent and more serious than many people realize. And contrary to what many insurance adjusters would have you believe, it is quite common for injuries to slowly evolve over a period of days to even months. This is particularly true of lower speed car accident collisions with milder forms of neck sprains.
In these low impact cases, the soft tissue damage is subtle and can be totally silent immediately after the accident. Over a period of time, inflammation sets in and causes swelling of tissues and the release of chemicals that cause irritation to the nervous system and eventually muscle spasm. It is not until these factors reach a certain critical mass that the actual injury is felt as stiffness, soreness, numbness, irritability, headache, etc.
That is why many car accident victims will initially report to the police or paramedics that they are uninjured, yet days, weeks or longer afterwards, the true injury emerges. If you have suffered an auto accident and your symptoms were delayed, it is because your injury was slowly evolving, but does not mean it isn’t serious. Even milder neck injuries have been shown to result in premature arthritis and neurologic problems if left untreated.
Immediate symptoms may mean a worse condition
If you’ve suffered an accident and feel these symptoms immediately or the day following an accident, it is a sign of more than just a mild injury and you should be evaluated by an auto accident injury specialist immediately. Symptoms that come on more quickly and/or are more severe generally point to a more severe ligament, disc or nerve injury and treatment will have the best outcome if not delayed.
Whichever scenario is yours, slowly evolving or immediate symptoms, you need to be evaluated by a specialist right away to accurately diagnose your injuries, begin a specific treatment program designed to fix your problem, prevent future damage and to document your injuries for possible legal action if necessary.
