Common Auto Accident Injuries We Treat
Body Therapy Wellness
Our clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of auto accident injuries, including whiplash, back and neck pain, soft tissue injuries, concussions, and joint pain. Even if symptoms seem minor at first, these conditions can worsen without proper care. We provide personalized treatment plans to help you heal safely and completely.
Whiplash and Neck Injuries
Whiplash remains one of the most frequent injuries we see after car accidents, particularly in rear-end collisions. The rapid back-and-forth motion of your head during impact can strain muscles, ligaments, and even damage cervical vertebrae. What makes whiplash tricky is that symptoms often don't appear until 24-48 hours after the accident.
Back and Spine Injuries
Your spine bears tremendous force during any collision, and back injuries can range from minor muscle strains to serious vertebral damage. We're particularly careful to evaluate for disc herniation, compression fractures, and nerve impingement that might not be immediately obvious.
Concussions and Head Trauma
Head injuries from auto accidents deserve special attention because brain trauma can have lasting effects if not properly managed. Even seemingly minor bumps to the head can result in concussion, and we use standardized testing protocols to evaluate cognitive function after any head impact.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injuries affect muscles, tendons, and ligaments throughout your body. These injuries are common in auto accidents but can be challenging to diagnose because they don't show up on X-rays. However, they can cause significant pain and functional limitations if not treated properly.
Fractures and Broken Bones
While fractures are often obvious, some broken bones can be surprisingly easy to miss, especially stress fractures or small bone chips. Our comprehensive examination and immediate X-ray capability ensure that any fractures are identified and treated appropriately.
Shoulder and Arm Injuries
The force of a collision often travels through the steering wheel or seatbelt, causing significant trauma to the shoulder joint and rotator cuff. These injuries can result in persistent pain, limited range of motion, and weakness that makes daily lifting or reaching difficult.

Request an AppointmentWhat to Do After an Auto Accident
Body Therapy Wellness
1
Immediately Get to Safety
Your safety is the top priority immediately after any accident. If you're able to move and the vehicles are driveable, try to get out of traffic. Turn on hazard lights and call 911 if anyone appears injured or if there's significant property damage.
2
Seek Medical Attention
You should seek medical attention after any auto accident, even if you feel fine initially. Many accident-related injuries don't cause immediate symptoms, and early medical evaluation can identify problems before they become serious.
3
Obtain Documentation
Proper documentation starts at the accident scene and continues through your medical treatment. Take photos of vehicle damage, get insurance information from all drivers involved, and obtain a copy of the police report when it's available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I see a doctor immediately after a car accident?
Yes, you should seek medical evaluation after any auto accident, even if you feel fine initially. Many serious injuries, including concussions and soft tissue damage, don’t cause immediate symptoms. Early medical evaluation can identify these hidden injuries and prevent complications. Insurance companies also look more favorably on claims when medical treatment begins promptly after an accident. Waiting days or weeks to seek treatment can raise questions about whether your injuries are actually related to the accident.
Will my auto insurance cover treatment costs?
In Florida, your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance typically covers 80% of your medical expenses up to your policy limits, regardless of who caused the accident. If the other driver was at fault, their liability insurance may cover additional costs.
We’ll work directly with your insurance company to determine coverage and handle billing. Our staff is experienced with PIP requirements and can help ensure you receive maximum benefits available under your policy.
How long do I have to seek medical treatment?
Under Florida PIP law, you must seek medical treatment within 14 days of your accident to be eligible for benefits. However, it’s much better to seek care immediately rather than wait—both for your health and for your insurance claim.
Even if you miss the 14-day window for PIP benefits, you may still have other coverage options, and you should definitely still seek medical care if you’re experiencing symptoms.
What if I don't feel pain right away?
It’s very common not to feel pain immediately after an auto accident. Adrenaline and shock can mask injury symptoms for hours or even days. Additionally, some injuries like whiplash typically don’t cause symptoms until inflammation develops 24-48 hours later.
Don’t wait for pain to develop before seeking medical evaluation. Early examination can identify injuries before symptoms appear and start treatment that may prevent or minimize pain when it does develop.
Do you work with personal injury attorneys?
Yes, we regularly work with personal injury attorneys and understand the medical documentation they need to build strong cases. We can provide detailed medical reports, attend depositions, and offer expert testimony about your injuries and treatment.
However, we want to be clear that our primary focus is your medical care and recovery. While we’ll provide appropriate legal support, we’re not advocates for any particular legal outcome—we’re advocates for your health.
Can you treat passengers and pedestrians injured in accidents?
Absolutely. We treat all types of auto accident victims, including drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists. The medical care is the same regardless of your role in the accident, though insurance coverage may differ.
Passengers typically have access to PIP benefits through multiple insurance policies, which can provide more comprehensive coverage. Pedestrians and cyclists may have coverage through the at-fault driver’s insurance as well as their own policies.
