Reposting of a patient asking about  pros and cons of different auto insurance carriers. Vital information for every patient!

Hey Steph as a 25-year chiropractor, I see the best and worst in claims processing of every carrier. By far the best carriers are for home and auto are Amica, Chubb, and State Farm. The next tier completely acceptable is Farmers, American Family, Allstate, and USAA. The carriers that I see my patients have problems with property damage and bodily injury are the online only carriers like Esurance, Geico, and Progressive. Agreed it all depends on the claims adjuster and validity of claims but I see the bottom tier claims adjusters really force patients to hire an attorney to be made whole in cases of permanent impairment. 

I’d also recommend putting a minimum 10K medpay on at least one of your families vehicles Which generally applies to all of them and it covers initial medical payments and only cost about four dollars per month to have that additional add-on. It is required in Colorado.

On the uninsured underinsured side there are so many uninsured drivers out there i.e. 25% in Colorado That again a 100 K minimum only cost about four dollars per month. I would get it on at least one car or better yet all of them and you can stack it in the event of an event with one vehicle.

Anyway, way more than any of us need to know.

Luckily, chiropractic will help you keep your muscles and joints limber and ready for your favorite type of exercise.

What You Need to Know About Neck Spasms

When a neck spasm hits, even the slightest movement can cause intense pain. Although the spasms are usually short-lived, they can become a chronic problem in some cases. If you suffer from frequent neck spasms, understanding the cause can help you avoid future bouts of pain.

Why Neck Spasms Happen

Have you ever turned your head quickly and felt a tight, painful sensation in your neck? The pain occurs when the muscles in your neck spasm or tighten unexpectedly. Spasms can last several minutes or linger for days or weeks. Chronic or frequent spasms can cause pain and headaches that interfere with your usual activities. Even if the spasm goes away quickly, you may still experience pain due to sore muscles.

Neck pain and spasms are common problems for many of us. In fact, 20 to 70 percent of Americans will experience neck pain that interferes with their usual activities at some point in their lives, according to Practical Pain Management.

We need help replacing kids Christmas presents for a few Louisville families.

I am hosting several Louisville families in short term rentals only to realize these properties still had the Christmas tree up creating some confusion with the kiddos. I'm hoping to round up wrapped Christmas gifts for children under the age of 12 at www.coloradospineinsport.com
400 S. McCaslin Blvd Suite 111 in Louisville between the hours of 8 AM and 6 PM until Friday, January 21st.

We will be taking about 2 replacement gifts per child on Monday, January 23. If you'd like to wrap them please just put your family name or Santa Claus or a personal note on the gift wrapping. Also include ideal age and gender on the name tag. We're also happy to wrap the item for you.

Any surplus gift items will be offered for any family in need in the community to stop by and pick up the same for their young kids . Standby for that announcement. Drop off and eventual pick up can occur anytime between 8 am and 6 PM.

If there are any existing similar programs we're happy to work with them if they announced below in comments.

Thank you Louisville and Superior families and businesses!
