Individuals involved in an automobile accident, no matter how minor,
should consider seeking medical care if symptoms arise such as joint
or muscle pain, swelling, bruising, stiffness or unexplained
headaches. Many times people will reason, “My vehicle
incurred very little damage, how can I be hurt?” yet they have no
better explanation for their symptoms.
Whether you were treated at an emergency room or not, Crespo &
Associates, PA encourages you to eliminate those fears or concerns
by being examined by a medical professional. You may elect to visit
your primary care physician or a Walk-In Clinic. However, many
primary care doctors or family practitioners do not file with
automobile insurance. Dr. Crespo does and his capable staff will
be happy to assist you with the necessary paperwork to file your
claim.
“Patients who are recovering from the physical trauma of their
injuries do not need the added stress of negotiating the maze of
insurance forms that are often required to document treatment and
request reimbursement,” observes Dr. Crespo.
In addition your Primary Care physician will most likely have to
refer you out to a specialist for examination and possible
treatment. So while your family physician can take care of your
medication requests, they are usually unable to offer an effective
physical therapy treatment plan for your injuries. Dr. Crespo
offers the services of a Masters Level Physical Therapist, a
Physical Therapy Assistant, a Trainer, as well as the skills of 6
Licensed Massage Therapists. After his comprehensive examination he
will tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs. Office hours
for therapy are extended to meet your scheduling needs.
In the event your accident involves a legal case, Dr. Crespo will
give testimony to the details of your injuries and your future
medical costs if applicable.
Remember, just because you had a “fender bender” do not discount the
need to seek medical care. Your symptoms could indicate a much more
serious injury than you might think. |
