Tony Pettitt and Heidi Carter were involved in a motor vehicle accident on April 23, 2010 in Troup County, Georgia. Tony and Heidi were traveling north on Commerce Avenue when another vehicle pulled out in front of them causing Tony and Heidi to hit the other car. After this collision, Tony required medical attention and sought treatment from Dr. Cosper of Cosper Chiropractic. Tony was suffering with back and neck pain and pain in his right leg. Dr. Cosper diagnosed him with cervical sprain/strain, lumbar sprain/strain, and thoracic sprain/strain. Dr. Cosper also found Tony had reduced range of motion in his neck and back. A conservative course of physical therapy was recommended.
