Auto Accident Relief for Roseville Residents
Top 3 Things People Must Know When Involved In An Auto Accident:
- "Maybe the pain will go away." The is a BIG MISTAKE! The pain usually doesn't go away, and in fact, can get worse or even appear on other areas.
- "People are afraid if the get care, their insurance will go up." This is a misnomer. Michigan is a no-fault state and everyone has a right to be treated and see ANY doctor they wish.
- This one is the most important! People go to a doctor who is NOT a trauma specialist. Would you go to a foot doctor if you needed heart surgery? No. This is why when you are injured, you MUST go to a trauma specialist to ensure you receive the proper care. The proper triaging of your condition is vital to your outcomes. Dr. Stanczak is the trauma specialist you need.
Hidden Damage
It’s tempting to minimize your own injuries because your car has sustained little or no damage. Research shows that occupants can be injured considerably more than what you’d expect from a dented fender or a broken taillight.
The Medical Solution
If you visit the emergency room, you may be given a clean bill of health because you don’t have any broken bones. You might get a prescription to reduce the muscle spasms caused by structural changes in your neck or lower back.

Common Questions
Q: Why do I have pain in my arms and hands?
A: Because the nerves to the arms and hands exit the spine through the injured area of the neck, numbness and tingling are common. Even lower back pain can result directly from the trauma, or as a reaction to the loss of proper spinal curves.
Q: Why did my headaches start more than a week after my accident?
A: Whether you’ve been in an accident, stressed at work, or over-exerted yourself in the garden, your body is constantly adapting to the environment. When your capacity to adapt is exhausted, symptoms can appear. This can take days, weeks, months or years to occur.
Q: Will I ever be normal again?
A: Many chiropractic practice members report restored spinal curves and an end to their symptoms. Those who delay seeking appropriate care often discover that scar tissue and spinal instability requires periodic chiropractic checkups.
