Common Auto Injuries We Treat at Radius
Our providers have extensive experience treating a wide range of car accident-related conditions. Some of the most common injuries we help patients recover from include:
Whiplash / Neck Pain
Headaches and Dizziness
Shoulder and Upper Back Pain
Lower Back Pain / Herniated Discs
Hip, Leg, and Gluteal Pain
Knee and Ankle Injuries
Post-concussion symptoms / Neurological concerns
We treat soft tissue injuries, joint dysfunction, nerve irritation, and more—with a blend of manual therapy, joint mobilization, functional rehab exercises, and education tailored to your recovery needs.
Low Back Pain
Low back injuries are prevalent in automobile accidents. Sudden trauma can result in a herniated disc, worsening spinal stenosis, or a sprain/strain of the lumbar ligaments and musculature. Promptly addressing these injuries is vital for overall healing and reducing prolonged chronic pain. The providers at Radius know how to help you regain function through physical rehabilitation and hands-on care.
Hip & Leg Pain
The leg and hip can impact the car’s interior in an accident, causing bruises/contusions, fractures, or damage to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injuries can result in a loss of strength or range of motion and may require physical rehabilitation.
Why It’s Important to Seek Care After a Car Accident
It’s common to walk away from a collision without realizing how your body has been impacted. Pain, stiffness, or reduced range of motion can set in hours or even days later—and without proper treatment, these symptoms can become chronic.
At Radius, we take a whole-body approach to healing. Your provider will perform a detailed orthopedic and neurological exam, and if necessary, refer you for imaging like X-rays or MRIs. Together, we’ll create a custom recovery plan that helps you get back to doing what you love—safely and confidently.
Once establishing which injury or injuries you’ve sustained due to the accident, we’ll begin our targeted treatment, which may consist of manual therapy, joint mobilization/manipulation, and physical rehabilitation.
Why it's essential to see a Radius provider after a car accident
Backaches, neck pain, stiffness, soreness, and restricted range of motion are all common complaints following a car crash. Car accident victims can be surprised to leave their doctor’s office with very little in terms of a treatment and recovery plan. At Radius, our providers will develop a plan to help you recover quickly and feel as good as you did before the accident.
Will I have out-of-pocket costs for my accident-related injuries?
In most cases in the state of California, the auto insurance policy of the at-fault driver will cover the costs of treatment provided at Radius. There are many variables to consider in determining whether or not someone will have out-of-pocket costs, even when they are not at fault. The best chance of realizing little to no out-of-pocket expense is seeking a provider, clinic, or attorney specializing in auto collisions.
A medical lien can allow you to get the care you need now, allowing us to collect payment when you receive a settlement. We’re happy to discuss options if you’re worried about how to pay for your treatment bills while you wait to accept payment for your car accident.
