Top 5 Mistakes People Make When Injured Or In An Accident:

At Spine & Injury Centers of Indiana, we've spent hundreds of hours in research and study to understand how to protect you, and in doing so, we determined the top 5 mistakes people make after they are injured. Our mission is to make sure you don't make these mistakes too:

Mistake # 1

Not seeking competent medical care from doctors who are trained in treating accident injuries.

Medical research has proven that injuries can show up days, weeks or months following an injury or accident. So even if the ER or your doctor finds nothing wrong immediately after the accident, this does not mean you are OK. You may have delayed onset soft tissue or disc injuries that have not been evaluated or treated.

Mistake #2

Not scheduling an exam following an accident.

Did you know it could take more than 7 days for a broken bone to show up on x-ray or that some broken bones can be invisible on x-ray? You should schedule an examination with a specialist who understands the science and examination process of evaluating someone who has been injured in an accident.

Often when you have been injured in an accident your injuries will require evaluation treatment from many different types of doctors or specialists. Not seeking care from a team of specialist who work together and communicate about your care can cost you time, money and quality of health.

Spine & Injury Centers of Indiana works with MD’s, Neurologists, Pain Management specialists, Neurosurgeons, Orthopedists, Podiatrists, Rehab Therapies, and highly trained Chiropractors who will focus on helping you recover and feel good again. We work together for your best interest.

Mistake #3

Not following your doctor’s recommendations and treatment plan.

If you don’t follow your doctor’s treatment plan you jeopardize your ability to fully recover from your injuries. It may cost you thousands of dollars out of your own pocket.

Don’t let this happen to you! Make sure you follow your doctors treatment plan so you can get well and receive the proper treatment you need.

Mistake #4

Hiding the truth from your doctor.

You must accurately describe your injuries. Acting like things are better or worse than they are will only compromise your outcome. Always be honest with your doctor, it will pay you to do so.
