Car Accident? What next?

You’re in pain. Your life has been altered since the car accident. Daily tasks such as running errands and putting on your shirt can put you in excruciating pain. Even a simple fender bender can have significant consequences and negatively affect your health.  

If you went to the hospital or walk in clinic chances are you were briefly examined, x-rayed or had MRI, and if there were no fractures or dislocations sent home with a prescription. Unfortunately, many family doctors do not perform follow up visits after auto accidents.  What is the next step to regain your health?

I practice as part of Florida Orthopaedic Institute.  Florida Orthpaedic Institute has 27 board certified and fellowship trained Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2 primary care sports medicine physicians, 2 interventional pain management physicians, 2 chiropractors, and 27 physician assistants and advanced registered nurses.  Our priority is to provide the best care for our patients in a timely and efficient manner.

If you or someone you know has been involved in an auto accident I would encourage you to get examined and evaluated to determine any injuries which you may have suffered.  Proper diagnosis and evaluation is the first step towards regaining your health.
