Personal INjury Recovery

Henderson and Las Vegas Nevada

The sources of a personal injury can vary: accidents, slip and falls, motor vehicle collisions, assaults, and defective products. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort due to circumstances that were out of your control, you need to understand the full extent of your injuries. You must receive prompt treatment to minimize long-term costs and health consequences such as chronic back or neck problems. In addition to taking a detailed history, the doctors at Agape will perform a detailed examination which will allow for an accurate diagnosis of your injuries and then they will tailor a treatment plan specific to your injuries. Agape Health has been working with personal injury patients for over 10 years. We have experience working with medical and legal professionals throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, and the surrounding Nevada areas.

Unfortunately, motor vehicle collisions are common in Las Vegas. The forces transmitted during a motor vehicle collision can be massive. The forces can cause spinal injuries, compress the spinal disc, cause brain trauma both mild (concussion) mTBI and traumatic TBI, cause headaches, cause jaw problems, cause nerve injuries, ligament damage, tendon tears, muscle tears, and overall malaise.

Our doctors at Agape Health have been trained in the latest and best injury examination and personal injury treatments for the musculoskeletal system. Our treatments help to restore the strength, mobility, and stability of the spinal joints, extremity joints (shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, hip, knee, ankle/foot), muscles, and nerves. We use adjustments (both low and high force) and natural pain relief techniques. Our doctors will diagnose ailments and injuries before they become serious or chronic. We are not interested in short-term results, each patient is cared for individually and constantly assessed to insure progress. Our clinic is committed to long-term permanent improvement and relief: without the need for prescribing medication and undergoing surgery. Our ultimate goal is for our patients to reach their highest quality of life.

How many Chiropractor visits will it take to recover from my car accident?

While each case is completely individualized, we can narrow it down based on your personal injuries. For all cases, we recommend an initial consult because we may be able to catch and diagnose something that you have missed. If this goes untreated, not only could this be missed by insurance, you could be in for more pain and suffering than necessary.

After the initial consult, we recommend one follow-up visit for all patients. During this follow-up evaluation, our team will make sure your recovery is going as expected and will set new expectations for treatment moving forward. In general, injuries like concussions from car accidents have a shorter-term procedure as they will need to heal on their own. However, if your head and neck have experienced whiplash, that’s another story. Broken bones and tears that cause significant impairment in your ability to function day to day may require ongoing attention.

At Agape, we take pride in taking our time with our initial assessment so we can provide a personalized program just for you and your recovery. What works for one car accident may not work for another.
