Casselberry AUTO ACCIDENT & WHIPLASH victims: We can help you avoid years of nagging pain or serious problems!
Types of Car Accident Injuries
There are many types of car accident injuries:
The first 24-78 hours after a car accident are crucial. Whiplash and injuries to the neck and back can occur even at pretty low speeds, and are often not felt right away. Post-accident stress and adrenaline can often mask pain from a car injury for several hours and even days.
If you've been in an auto accident, have been diagnosed with whiplash, or THINK you may have whiplash or other spinal injuries, you can't afford NOT to see a qualified injury recovery doctor right away. Delaying your treatment can delay your recovery!
Protect yourself with early detection and correction
You only have 14 days to present to the doctor after a car accident for an evaluation. After that the new Florida laws cause your insurance to be canceled. Call our office today to be scheduled with Dr. David Jenkins for a free consultation to see if this is something we can help you with.
HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT TO SEE A CHIROPRACTIC DOCTOR FOLLOWING A CAR ACCIDENT?
It can vary by the individual and severity of the accident, but within the first three to seven days it is generally recommended to see an auto injury chiropractor for a variety of reasons. From an injury perspective car accident chiropractors want to address the issue immediately to mitigate any further damage and accelerate the recovery process. Starting this process before symptoms peak can help aid the path to recovery.

WHAT IS WHIPLASH?
Whiplash, or sometimes called neck strain, refers to an injury of the neck that is the result of a sudden excessive force that causes the neck and head to jerk forward and then backward or vice versa, such as in an auto crash which causes damage to the muscle or tendons (the bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones). Similarly and yet different, neck sprains are caused by tearing of the ligaments (the tissues that connect the bones to each other). Both strains and sprains typically affect muscles, discs, nerves, ligaments, and tendons in the delicate structure of the neck and are treated similarly. These injuries can also occur in contact sports, other activities, or work accidents that might involve a sudden impact.
Although whiplash is a common injury experienced by millions of Americans every year, it can result in structural damage that is difficult to detect and correct. If not properly diagnosed and treated, these injuries can undermine the structural balance of the body and set off a "domino effect" that can exacerbate over time producing a wide variety of symptoms from headaches and extremity pain or numbness, to loss of mobility or even mental function. Whiplash injuries are a serious problem and 30% of whiplash injury patients still have problems one year after the accident.
If you are experiencing a headache that worsens or persists, have weakness or trouble talking, confusion, dizziness, nausea or are excessively sleepy, you need to see a doctor right away as you may be experiencing a concussion related to the injury which caused your whiplash.
Symptoms of Whiplash Injury
While each person will experience symptoms differently, any of the following could indicate a whiplash injury:

Treatment Options
After diagnosis using physical examination and X-rays (CT scan, and/or MRI are sometimes also recommended), conventional medical treatments may involve ice applications, pain and anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxing medications, and/or physical rehabilitation. A cervical collar may be prescribed as well for severe cases.
The Chiropractic Alternative
Because Chiropractic Physicians are uniquely trained in human structure or biomechanics, they are uniquely qualified to address the structural damage that occurs in a whiplash injury. While they may use many of the same diagnostic and treatment tools, the care plan is designed to correct the underlying damage, not merely to mitigate the symptoms.
Relying less on drugs and more on an in-depth knowledge of correct or normal structural health, our chiropractor will use a series of adjustments and exercises or physical rehabilitation to relieve symptoms, restore normal alignment and function, and "retrain" muscles and soft tissue to "hold" the correction long-term. Best of all, MOST of these injuries can be treated naturally without risky surgeries or dangerous drugs by working with your body's innate healing powers.
About Us
DR. DAVID J. JENKINS, D.C.
Dr. David Jenkins was born in Austin, Minnesota and raised in DeLand, FL.
Dr. Jenkins chose to be a Chiropractor from personal experience as a chiropractic patient. His journey began in his teens, "Growing up I originally wanted to become a dentist to follow in my Dad's footsteps and take over his office. But growing up as a beach lifeguard and longtime Surfer I began noticing some back pain from running on the beach. My Dad informed me that I should visit his friend that was a local Chiropractor in DeLand for help. I started receiving Chiropractic Adjustments and began noticing great relief with the back pain and found out how effective Chiropractic Care was so at that point I began the journey to become a Chiropractor."
Dr. Jenkins moved to Missouri to attend Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, MO. After graduating in 2003, he moved back to Florida to be near his family and friends and to take his Chiropractic boards.
Another pivotal step in Dr. Jenkins' journey happened just before taking the boards, he explains, "my Dad who was 52 and very healthy had a sudden stroke, became paralyzed, and had to retire from Dentistry. After his initial hospital experience, he began rehabilitation with physical therapy and Acupuncture treatment. It was at that time I found the true value of Acupuncture. After experiencing my Dad's recovery I was very interested in gaining more knowledge, training, and experience to become certified in Acupuncture. In 2005, I graduated from the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture in Carefree, Arizona, and began my journey in helping patients heal thru Acupuncture, Chiropractic, and Rehabilitation."
After practicing several years in Orlando, Dr. Jenkins had the opportunity to join in the practice of an Orlando Orthopedic Surgeon. He gained over 5 years experience there while running 2 offices helping patients recover from injuries related to Auto Accidents, Sports Injuries, Acute trauma, and general neck and back pain.
Dr. Jenkins also has post Graduate training and over 8 years experience practicing Acupuncture helping patients with Allergy Elimination, Smoking Cessation, Weight Reduction, pain management, headaches, neck and back pain relief, and pain relief in the hands and feet.
Dr. Jenkins has many years of experience treating patients with Spinal Disc injuries using spinal decompression and spinal traction, spinal rehabilitation, core strengthening rehabilitation, Acupuncture, Chiropractic Adjustments, and "MUA" Manipulation Under Anesthesia.
Dr. Jenkins has advanced experience in rehabilitation with patients following surgery, fracture rehabilitation, severe neck and back injuries including cervical and lumbar disc herniations, and advanced experience including full rehabilitation on patients with sports and Auto Accident injuries. Dr. Jenkins is also well trained in several of the latest techniques in Auto Injury rehabilitation, Chiropractic, Rehabilitation, Spinal Decompression, and Acupuncture.
Dr. Jenkins has graduated from several post graduate programs including studying at the prestigious SRISD (Spine Research Institute of San Diego) in Whiplash and Brain Traumatology headed by Dr. Arthur Croft one of the most well known researchers on Auto Accident related Injuries. Here Dr. Jenkins acquired a wealth of knowledge on Auto Injuries, Accident Reconstruction, Treatment for Auto Accident related injuries, Biomechanics, and Medicolegal forensics.
Today Dr. Jenkins has over 15 years Chiropractic experience helping others and has owned and been at Seminole Chiropractic Center for over 6 years.
Seminole Chiropractic Center's approach to patient care is putting the patient first by listening to the patient’s needs to find out how to serve them best and then custom tailor and treatment plan to serve the patient best for efficient, fast relief so that the patient may return to their busy active lifestyle that they once enjoyed.

Auto Accident Injuries
First, remember, nothing is more important than your health, especially when you start to lose it.
Most people have one thing on their mind: their automobile!
They worry: "What about my car?" "What will I drive?" "What will happen to my insurance?" "Who is going to pay for this?"
The last thing on their minds is: "Have I been damaged?"
The damage from spinal nerve stress may take months or even years to surface, not to mention post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis can ruin your posture. Osteoarthritis can cause the discs in your spine to degenerate and create scarring, leading to chronic stiffness and the inability to move properly.
A Chiropractic exam and proper treatment can save an accident victim from much pain and disability later.
Our concern is to give you the care you need, if you need it. If we cannot help you, we will refer you to a doctor who can.
Second, remember, new Florida law states that you have 14 days after a car accident to be evaluated by a doctor or your insurance gets canceled. Call us today for a complimentary consultation for your injuries to see if this is something we can help you with.
A good rule of thumb is to be informed of your rights and then make a decision.

I used to go here for two years straight that I was pregnant. With being pregnant, Dr. Jenkins and his staff took extreme measures to make sure I was in good hands with myself and my pregnancies. Very cautious and great measures taken to make sure my pin was reduced, I could hold out comfortable pregnancies, and safe for the well being of my unborn children and I. Always left there feeling a ton less, because my body was carrying the weight properly after my adjustments. And the staff treated my children and I like family! To say I was impressed is an understatement.

Before I came to Dr. Jenkins I was in such pain that I could barely move. Dr. Jenkins was so patient with me and even spent extra time working on my back to improve my condition. Dr. Jenkins also did a great job explaining everything to me and educating me on what was going on. I cannot express how much he helped me and how amazing I feel! I would recommend Dr. Jenkins over and over again!! I also appreciated that I didn't have to wait long for my appointment like I find myself having to do at other doctor office, which works great with a busy schedule. The girls at the front desk were always very helpful and nice as well. Thank you Dr. Jenkins for all of your help!

DM
When I started my visits with DR. Jenkins three weeks ago I was feeling so much discomfort and I knew if I would see my regular doctor he would put me on pills to kill the pain and that's not what I wanted, or be sent to different specialist. This was the right move for me and I'm feeling so much better. I will continue to see him on a regular basis and keep my follow up maintenance. Thank you DR.Jenkins for your care.
