Car Accident Injuries and Treatments:

What to expect after Car accident:

• Following a car accident, one of the most frequently seen injuries involves the upper spine, neck and lower back.
• Other typical symptoms include joint pain, muscle soreness, headaches, and discomfort in the arms and legs.
• These issues arise when the vertebral joints, along with their surrounding muscles and nerves, experience unusual forces and movements during the accident.
• In some cases it will take about 24-48 hours for symptoms to appear.
• It's not uncommon for some individuals to experience pain, stiffness, and other symptoms 7 to 10 days after the incident.
• If this occurs, it's important to seek medical attention promptly. The effects of more severe crashes may persist for 6 to 18 months.
• Generally, most people find that pain and other symptoms related to car accident injuries diminish as they gradually resume normal activities. The extent to which daily life is disrupted varies based on the specifics of the crash and extent of injuries.

We understand that recovering from a car accident injury is complex and often involves significant time, discomfort, and frustration. That's why our multidisciplinary team combines the best medical practices with a personal touch, encouraging you to progress at a manageable pace and strive for new levels of achievement.

We assess the injuries you've sustained in the motor vehicle accident and provide treatment for those injuries and any resulting disabilities. A key part of our role is to thoroughly document your injuries, disabilities, and treatment. Proper documentation is essential, as it serves as legal proof of your condition.

We will gather and compile valid, medically necessary documentation regarding your injuries. This includes diagnostic studies like X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. During your examination, we will also make objective observations, such as assessing any loss of joint movement or palpating muscles to identify tightness, rigidity, or spasms. If any permanent issues are identified, we will ensure they are well documented and recommend ongoing treatment as needed.

We do direct billing for Motor Vehicle Accident patients. However, for Motor vehicle Accident Billing we need to follow FSRA guidelines. If you have extended health benefits, we are required to use your private benefits prior to billing your car insurance company as per FSRA. This time-saving, stress-free process is designed to enhance your patient experience with us and you focus on your healing.
