Managing a Permanent Injury
The Importance of Seeing a Specialist
It’s important to see the right doctor to ensure your car accident injuries heal property. While you’re likely anxious to get better, you want to have the best opportunity to get back to your pre-car crash self with as little impairment as possible.
If Healing Plateaus
What happens if you complete your treatment and you’re not completely better? What if you have reached the maximum level of improvement?
