Accident orthopedic doctors specialize in injuries to the bones, joints, ligaments and tendons caused by collisions, from sprains and tears to fractures and spinal injuries.
How it relates to car accident recovery
If you have joint pain, swelling, instability, a suspected fracture or back pain that is not improving after a crash, an orthopedic evaluation can clarify the injury and outline both non-surgical and surgical options.
What to expect
- Examination of the injured area
- Review or ordering of imaging
- Bracing, therapy, injection or surgical options discussed
- A recovery timeline and follow-up plan
Good to know
Most orthopedic injuries are first treated without surgery. Your doctor will explain which approach fits your injury.
