Car Accident
Injury Treatment

We treat all common car accident injuries including whiplash, back and neck injuries, herniated discs, sciatica, soft tissue injuries (muscles, ligaments, tendons), headaches, shoulder injuries, hip and knee pain, and numbness or tingling from nerve damage.

We recommend seeking treatment within 24-72 hours of the accident, even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash have delayed symptoms. Early treatment provides better outcomes, documents injuries for insurance purposes, and prevents conditions from becoming chronic.

Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation: health history review, accident details, orthopedic and neurological examination, range of motion testing, and X-rays if needed. We then develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific injuries.

Treatment duration depends on injury severity. Minor injuries may resolve in a few weeks, while moderate to severe injuries typically require 2-3 months of care. We regularly reassess progress and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
