not to file a report. If you agree to do this, you are breaking the law if the amount of damage is more than $1500.

they were in the car with you. There will be no cost to you. You will prevent overt and underlying injuries
from rapidly progressing. We can see your entire family at one time because we have multiple doctors to better serve
you and save you time. If our doctor find that you have sustained injuries from the car accident that do not
require immediate hospitalization then you are qualified to begin a routine of Chiropractic (adjustments), Massage (
manual therapy) and natural Physiotherapy treatment (stretching, gait training, sensory integration, therapeutic
exercises, mechanical traction, neuromuscular rehabilitation, ice and heat).

If you have been in an seriously injured in an auto accident, Dr. Anthony Blisko highly recommends that you contact an
injury attorney to discuss your legal rights.
Work Related Injuries Overwhelming evidence shows that chiropractic management of low-back pain is more cost-effective than medical management, and that
many medical therapies are of questionable validity or are clearly inadequate." - The Manga Report (1993).Work-related back pain is among the most common
occupational disorders in the United States, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Delay in return to work remains an expensive
component in the overall cost of back pain for workers' compensation claims. Back pain is responsible for more loss of work time and increased medical expenses
related to treatment than any other ailment.
