Personal Injury Treatment in San Diego
Comprehensive care for auto accidents, slip-and-falls, and workplace injuries. Expert documentation for your insurance and legal claims.
Why Early Treatment Matters After an Injury
Personal injuries from auto accidents, falls, and workplace incidents often involve multiple damaged structures: muscles, ligaments, spinal discs, nerves, and sometimes the brain itself. The challenge is that many of these injuries are "invisible" on standard emergency room evaluation, which typically focuses on ruling out fractures and life-threatening conditions.
Soft tissue injuries, disc herniations, ligament instability, and mild traumatic brain injuries frequently go undiagnosed during initial ER visits. These hidden injuries can develop into chronic conditions if left untreated: scar tissue forms, compensatory movement patterns develop, and the window for optimal healing narrows. Research consistently shows that patients who begin comprehensive treatment within two weeks of injury achieve significantly better long-term outcomes.
Beyond your health, early documentation is critical for insurance and legal claims. We provide thorough medical records that establish the connection between your injury event and your symptoms, supporting your case from the very first visit.
Common Personal Injury Symptoms
If you're experiencing any of these after an accident, early evaluation is critical.
- Neck or back pain that appeared after an accident or fall
- Headaches that started after the injury event
- Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in arms or legs
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion in your spine
- Dizziness or balance problems since the injury
- Difficulty sleeping due to pain or discomfort
- Muscle spasms or tightness that won't resolve
- Cognitive difficulties like brain fog or trouble concentrating
Types of Personal Injuries We Treat
We handle the full spectrum of personal injury cases
Auto Accident Injuries
Rear-end, side-impact, and head-on collisions cause whiplash, cervical disc herniations, concussions, and soft tissue injuries. Even low-speed impacts at 5 mph can generate enough force to injure the cervical spine. Symptoms may not appear for 48 to 72 hours after the crash.
Slip-and-Fall Injuries
Falls on wet floors, uneven surfaces, or stairs can cause acute back pain, herniated discs, wrist fractures, and traumatic brain injuries. The impact of landing compresses the spine and can displace disc material, while the head striking the ground can cause concussion symptoms.
Workplace Injuries
Repetitive lifting, prolonged sitting, falls from heights, and machinery accidents cause cumulative and acute spinal injuries. Workers' compensation claims require detailed medical documentation connecting your injuries to workplace activities.
Sports Injuries
Contact sports, falls, and overuse create spinal misalignments, disc injuries, and neurological symptoms. Athletes often push through pain, worsening injuries that could have been resolved quickly with early intervention.
Your 5-Part Injury Recovery System
Complete care from initial assessment to maximum medical improvement
Injury Assessment and Documentation
A thorough neurological and orthopedic examination identifies all injured structures. We document findings with objective measurements and clinical testing, creating a medical record that supports your insurance claim or legal case.
Pain Management Without Drugs
Low-level laser therapy, gentle chiropractic adjustments, and fascial mobilization reduce inflammation and relieve pain naturally. We help you avoid the risks of opioid dependency while achieving meaningful pain relief from day one.
Structural Restoration
Non-surgical spinal decompression addresses disc injuries, while chiropractic care restores proper alignment. We correct the structural damage causing your symptoms rather than simply masking the pain.
Neurological Rehabilitation
If your injury has affected your nervous system (dizziness, cognitive issues, numbness), targeted neurological therapies including vestibular rehabilitation and vision therapy address these symptoms.
Maximum Medical Improvement
We track your progress with objective measurements at each visit and provide detailed progress reports. Treatment continues until you reach maximum medical improvement, ensuring complete recovery and thorough documentation.
