Personal Injury Care

Personal Injury Care

Auto accidents cause a unique category of musculoskeletal injury. The abrupt deceleration forces in even a low-speed rear-end collision are sufficient to sprain cervical ligaments, herniate discs, and cause diffuse soft tissue microtrauma that often does not become symptomatic until 24 to 72 hours after the crash - by which time many patients have already left the emergency room without a chiropractic evaluation. Valencia Chiropractic specializes in the assessment and treatment of whiplash-associated disorders (WAD), post-collision cervical and lumbar disc injuries, seat belt contusions, shoulder injuries, and the headaches and cognitive changes that frequently follow head restraint impact. Dr. Trapasso provides comprehensive documentation of your injuries - detailed clinical notes, orthopedic and neurological exam findings, functional impairment ratings, and imaging referrals when warranted - in a format specifically designed to support your attorney and insurance claim. We work on a letter-of-protection (LOP) basis, which means treatment begins immediately at no cost to you, with fees resolved from your settlement. No injury is too recent or too old to evaluate. We accept patients who were injured days ago as well as patients who sustained injuries months ago and have been living with untreated pain. Our clinical records are regularly relied upon by personal injury attorneys throughout the Santa Clarita Valley to establish causation, document treatment necessity, and quantify damages in litigation and settlement negotiation.
