If you drive Route 8 every day between Naugatuck and points south, you already know the stretches where traffic compresses without warning. Rear-end collisions at moderate speed are the everyday reality of that corridor — and they produce exactly the injuries that get dismissed as "I'll be fine" and then linger for months.
Low-speed doesn't mean low-impact
The amount of damage to your bumper is a poor predictor of what happened to your spine. Your car is engineered to absorb force. Your neck isn't. Patients regularly come in with genuine whiplash from collisions that left barely a scratch on the vehicle.
A plan built around your injury
Every person and every collision is different, and treatment is crafted to fit your specific injury rather than pulled off a shelf. Depending on what the evaluation finds, that may include chiropractic treatment, physiotherapy, ultrasound, traction, massage, therapeutic exercise, electrical muscle stimulation and rehabilitation.
If a claim is involved
Dr. Hochman documents each visit — your complaints, your treatment, your progress. If you have an attorney, reports and notes are sent to their office periodically. She also provides impairment ratings.
