Different Injuries May Require Different Providers

There's no single type of doctor that's automatically right for every person involved in an accident.

Your symptoms, injury, medical history, and examination can all play a role in determining what care is appropriate.

Depending on your needs, injury care may involve:

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors commonly evaluate and treat musculoskeletal complaints such as neck and back pain.

Orthopedic Care

Orthopedic providers focus on the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and certain spinal conditions.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can play a role in restoring strength, movement, flexibility, and function following certain injuries.

Neurology

Neurological evaluation may be appropriate for certain symptoms involving headaches, dizziness, numbness, tingling, or other neurological concerns.

Pain Management

For some injuries and persistent pain conditions, a patient may be referred to a pain-management specialist.

Advanced Imaging

Your treating provider may also recommend diagnostic imaging to better evaluate an injury.
