Synopsis

THE PERSONAL INJURY CONUNDRUM

With over 3 million whiplash injuries in the US each year, countless individuals suffer from long term/chronic pain and health problems due to improper or under diagnosis and treatment. Many MD's and DC's do not realize there are specialists in the field of Motor Vehicle Occupant Injuries. Mismanagement of a motor vehicle collision case can leave the patient with undue pain and suffering, as well as, make it difficult for attorneys to help victims recoup their loss and pay medical bills. Whiplash and hidden soft tissue injuries often require an interdisciplinary health care team approach. Knowing when, where and why to refer auto accident patients is a vital part in helping them receive the best care possible.

Dr. Shetlin has been passionate about health and the human body since his youth. Growing up with role models like "The Incredible Hulk," Lou Frigno, Arnold Swartzenhager, Gymnast - Mary Lou Retton, Dr. Shetlin has been amazed with what the human frame can do, how it can change shape, and its amazing ability to heal itself after a trauma. There was a time in the 4th grade where he had a run-in with a forceful jolt of electricity...in his 4th grade mind, he thought he had been "gama-rayed" turning him into a miniature "incredible hulk," but we will save that story for another time.
