What to do when you’re suffering after a car accident
Often, those involved in accidents don’t realize they’re injured until it affects their daily activities. It is essential to see a professional who can diagnose your injuries correctly, and our providers at Radius train in doing just that. At your first visit, we perform a thorough orthopedic and neurological examination. If necessary, we will request further diagnostic imaging (such as X-Ray, MRI, or CT Scan) to help determine the extent of your injury and the best course of treatment. Your Radius provider will discuss this with you and guide you every step of the way.
Once establishing which injury or injuries you’ve sustained due to the accident, we’ll begin our targeted treatment, which may consist of manual therapy, joint mobilization/manipulation, and physical rehabilitation.
Why it's essential to see a Radius provider after a car accident
Backaches, neck pain, stiffness, soreness, and restricted range of motion are all common complaints following a car crash. Car accident victims can be surprised to leave their doctor’s office with very little in terms of a treatment and recovery plan. At Radius, our providers will develop a plan to help you recover quickly and feel as good as you did before the accident.
Will I have out-of-pocket costs for my accident-related injuries?
In most cases in the state of California, the auto insurance policy of the at-fault driver will cover the costs of treatment provided at Radius. There are many variables to consider in determining whether or not someone will have out-of-pocket costs, even when they are not at fault. The best chance of realizing little to no out-of-pocket expense is seeking a provider, clinic, or attorney specializing in auto collisions.
A medical lien can allow you to get the care you need now, allowing us to collect payment when you receive a settlement. We’re happy to discuss options if you’re worried about how to pay for your treatment bills while you wait to accept payment for your car accident.
What types of auto accident injuries does Radius treat?
At Radius, we handle a wide array of injuries that arise from automobile accidents. Here, we briefly describe a few and how we address them.
Cervical Whiplash
Cervical Whiplash is a term used to describe a specific mechanism of injury to the neck region due to a car accident. It’s often considered the most common outcome after “non-catastrophic” motor vehicle accidents. Neck pain, muscle spasms, headaches, and dizziness are reasonably common symptoms to experience with this type of injury. When you visit our clinic, we’ll perform a detailed musculoskeletal examination to determine the precise source of your symptoms and the best course of treatment.
Shoulder & Upper Back Pain
In an automobile accident, the upper body can experience an impact from the steering wheel or airbag; this can result in numerous types of soft tissue or bone injuries, some being more acute and serious than others. Here at Radius, we can help determine your shoulder or upper back injury severity and create a plan to get back to a pain-free life.
Low Back Pain
Low back injuries are prevalent in automobile accidents. Sudden trauma can result in a herniated disc, worsening spinal stenosis, or a sprain/strain of the lumbar ligaments and musculature. Promptly addressing these injuries is vital for overall healing and reducing prolonged chronic pain. The providers at Radius know how to help you regain function through physical rehabilitation and hands-on care.
Hip & Leg Pain
The leg and hip can impact the car’s interior in an accident, causing bruises/contusions, fractures, or damage to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injuries can result in a loss of strength or range of motion and may require physical rehabilitation.
