Each visit, a little more movement
We measure what you can do at every visit: how far you can turn your neck, lift your arm or bend, and how much it hurts when you do.
Your plan can include follow-up exams, pain management, physical therapy and specialist referrals when they are medically necessary, adjusted as you improve.

Car accident injury questions
How long does treatment take?
It depends on the injury. Many soft tissue injuries improve over several weeks; others take longer. We reassess at each visit.
Do you prescribe pain medication?
Treatment depends on your evaluation. We focus on care that restores movement and function, and we explain every option.
Can I come in if the accident was weeks ago?
Yes. Pain that lingers or starts late is common. Come in and get it evaluated.
Is treatment covered?
Medically necessary care for crash injuries is generally billed to your PIP benefits, up to your policy’s limits. We verify your coverage first.
