Injured in an accident? Start the medical record today.
Orthopedic assessment, imaging and treatment after a motor vehicle accident, slip or fall — documented from the first visit.
Waiting is the costly part
After a crash or a fall, people often feel fine and decide to see how it goes. Then the neck tightens up on day three, and by then there is a two-week hole in the medical record.
That gap is the single most common reason an injury claim gets argued down. An early examination protects your recovery and your record at the same time.

What happens after you call
-
Get examined, even if you feel fine
Soft-tissue and spinal injuries often surface days later. A gap between the accident and the first exam is the first thing an insurer points at.
-
We schedule you quickly
Assessment with an orthopedic physician at a location near you, scheduled through our Quick Care process.
-
Imaging where it is needed
Imaging arranged alongside the appointment so the diagnosis is on record early.
-
Treatment, documented properly
Conservative care first. Every visit, finding and restriction written up in a form that stands up in a claim file.
-
Rehabilitation to the end of the course
Physical therapy close to home. Finishing treatment matters clinically, and it matters to your claim.

Common questions
- I was in a car accident. How soon should I be examined?
- As soon as you can. Pain from spinal and soft-tissue injuries frequently appears two or three days later, and a long gap between the accident and the first medical visit is the most common thing used to dispute an injury claim.
- Do I need a lawyer before I can be treated?
- No. Call us and we will arrange the assessment. If you do have an attorney, we will coordinate records with their office.
- Will you provide records for my claim?
- Yes. Complete treatment records, findings and imaging, produced in the form an insurer or attorney needs.
- What kinds of injuries do you treat?
- Orthopedic and spine injuries from motor vehicle accidents, slips and falls and similar incidents. Call us to confirm we treat your specific injury.
- What should I bring to the first visit?
- Photo ID and insurance information, the accident or police report if one exists, and any imaging or notes from a previous visit. We will confirm anything else when we call you back.
