How Chiropractic Care Can Help You Recover After an Auto Accident
Chiropractic care is an effective, non-invasive treatment option designed to help you recover from your injuries and regain your quality of life. Our experienced chiropractors use a range of techniques that focus on the spine and musculoskeletal system to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and promote natural healing.
Some notable benefits of working with our team include:
- Pain relief without medication: One of the primary benefits of chiropractic care is that it offers pain relief without the need for prescription medication, which can have side effects or be habit-forming. Through techniques such as spinal adjustments, manual manipulation, and therapeutic exercises, we can address the root causes of your pain, rather than just masking the symptoms.
- Speeding up recovery time: Chiropractic care can help expedite your recovery by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and facilitating the body's natural healing processes. By focusing on alignment and function, chiropractic treatments help reduce the time it takes for your body to heal, allowing you to get back to your daily activities faster.
- Improving mobility and flexibility: Injuries from an auto accident can limit your range of motion, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring mobility and flexibility through targeted adjustments and rehabilitative exercises. These treatments help reduce stiffness, improve joint function, and increase overall body performance.
- Alleviating long-term effects: Untreated injuries can lead to chronic pain and long-term health issues. Regular chiropractic care can help mitigate these risks by ensuring proper alignment and function of the spine and joints, thus preventing chronic conditions from developing.

Legal Assistance with Albuquerque Car Accident Claims
In addition to our chiropractic services, we collaborate with a network of personal injury attorneys who represent victims of auto accidents. Your attorney can guide you through the process of seeking compensation for the losses associated with your auto accident.
Navigating the legal terrain of seeking compensation after an auto accident can be intricate, particularly with Albuquerque's specific regulations.
New Mexico's "pure comparative fault" rule allows you to seek compensation even if you are partially at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault. For instance, if you are deemed 30% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 30%.
The state's statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is three years from the accident date. Missing this deadline can forfeit your right to compensation. Our referral network of experienced attorneys ensures timely and correct legal actions, safeguarding your rights and maximizing your compensation.
Dealing with insurance companies can be challenging. Insurance adjusters may minimize your claim or question your injuries. The attorneys we refer you to are skilled in negotiating with insurance companies-- in other words, your claim is taken seriously, and your attorney will strive to secure compensation for things like medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other costs.
