How CALLMAA Gets You Orthopedic Care
Getting medical care after an accident shouldn’t be complicated. CALLMAA makes it simple with three straightforward steps.
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Car Accident Injuries
Tell us what happened and where you’re hurting. The conversation takes less than five minutes. We listen carefully to understand your injuries and assess what kind of car accident doctor you need. Are you dealing with back pain? Joint damage? A possible fracture? Soft tissue injuries? We’ll ask the right questions to connect you with the right specialist.
Step 2: Get Matched with a Car Accident Orthopedic Specialist
CALLMAA works with orthopedic doctors who specialize in treating car accident injuries. We schedule your appointment, often on the same day or the next day. These aren’t just any orthopedic doctors.
They’re specialists who understand the unique nature of accident trauma. They know how to document your injuries properly. They understand the legal and insurance aspects of accident cases. And they work on a lien basis, which means you don’t pay anything up front.
Step 3: Focus on Healing While We Handle the Details
Your orthopedic doctor examines you, orders any necessary imaging like X-rays or MRIs, and creates a treatment plan tailored to your specific injuries. Meanwhile, CALLMAA coordinates everything behind the scenes.
Your medical records are properly documented to support your case. Your treatment is coordinated with your attorney if you have one. We handle the insurance paperwork and communication. You focus entirely on following your doctor’s recommendations and getting better.
When You Should See an Orthopedic Doctor After Your Accident
Many people wonder if they really need an orthopedic specialist or if their regular doctor is enough. Here’s the truth: orthopedic doctors have specialized training in musculoskeletal injuries. They see bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles in ways general practitioners simply don’t.
You should see an orthopedic doctor if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms after your accident:
- Back or neck pain that doesn’t go away
- Joint pain, swelling, or limited range of motion
- Difficulty bearing weight or walking
- Severe pain that gets worse instead of better
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness
- Joints or bones that look mishappen or out of place.
Early evaluation often prevents minor injuries from becoming major problems. Orthopedic doctors can diagnose issues that other providers might miss. They have access to specialized imaging and diagnostic tools.
Delayed treatment allows injuries to worsen. Scar tissue forms. Inflammation becomes chronic. Muscles weaken around injured joints. What could have been resolved with conservative treatment might require surgery if you wait too long.
Car Accident Injuries That Orthopedic Doctors Treat
Orthopedic doctors treat a wide range of injuries that result from car accidents. Their specialized training allows them to diagnose and manage complex musculoskeletal trauma that general practitioners often can’t handle effectively.
Spinal Injuries from Car Accidents
Your spine takes tremendous force during a car accident. Orthopedic doctors who specialize in spinal care treat herniated discs, bulging discs, vertebral fractures, spinal stenosis, and facet joint injuries. They work with you to develop treatment plans that might include physical therapy, injections, or surgery when necessary. They understand how spinal injuries affect your entire body and quality of life.
Car Accident Fractures and Broken Bones
Car accidents commonly cause fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, pelvis, and spine. Orthopedic doctors are bone specialists. They determine whether fractures need casting, bracing, or surgical repair with plates, screws, or rods. They monitor healing through follow-up appointments and imaging. They know when bones aren’t healing properly and what to do about it.
Joint Injuries After a Car Crash
Your shoulders, knees, hips, elbows, wrists, and ankles contain complex joint structures that car accident forces can damage. Orthopedic doctors treat torn ligaments like ACL tears, meniscus tears, rotator cuff tears, and labral tears. They manage dislocations and subluxations. They address cartilage damage and joint instability. They use both surgical and non-surgical approaches depending on the severity and your goals.
Soft Tissue Accident Injuries
Muscles, tendons, and ligaments suffer trauma in accidents even when bones remain intact. Orthopedic doctors treat muscle strains, tendon ruptures, and ligament sprains. They understand how soft tissue injuries heal and what complications to watch for. They prescribe appropriate physical therapy and monitor your progress.
Traumatic Arthritis
Sometimes, car accident injuries lead to post-traumatic arthritis months later. Orthopedic doctors who treated your initial injury can continue caring for you if this develops. They offer treatments ranging from medications and injections to joint replacement when necessary.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
This serious condition sometimes develops after trauma. Orthopedic doctors work with pain management specialists to diagnose and treat CRPS. Early recognition and treatment are crucial.
The orthopedic doctors in CALLMAA’s network don’t just treat injuries. They document everything thoroughly. They understand that your medical records will be used by your attorney to prove your damages. They take detailed notes. They order appropriate diagnostic tests. They explain how the accident caused your specific injuries. This documentation is critical for your case.
The Cost of Seeing an Orthopedic Specialist: How Lien Treatment Works
Money worries shouldn’t prevent you from getting the orthopedic care you need. Yet this is exactly what stops many accident victims from seeking proper treatment. They don’t have health insurance. Their health insurance won’t cover accident-related treatment. They can’t afford thousands of dollars in upfront costs for specialist appointments, imaging, and procedures.
This is where CALLMAA’s approach changes everything.
Treatment on a Lien: No Money Out of Pocket
The orthopedic doctors in CALLMAA’s network work on what’s called a “lien basis” or “letter of protection.” Here’s what this means in plain English: you receive all necessary orthopedic care immediately with zero upfront payment. The doctor agrees to wait for payment until your case settles. When you receive your settlement from the insurance company, the orthopedic doctor gets paid from those funds.
You don’t need to use your health insurance. You don’t need to pay anything out of pocket. You don’t need to worry about deductibles or copays. You simply receive the treatment you need when you need it.
CALLMAA Helps You After a Car Accident
Imagine this: You’re six months past your car accident. Your back doesn’t hurt anymore. Your knee moves normally. You’re back at work full-time. You’re playing with your kids again. You’re sleeping through the night without pain waking you up.
Your orthopedic specialist diagnosed your injuries accurately from the start. You received proper treatment, maybe physical therapy, maybe injections, maybe a surgical procedure that fixed the problem. Your injuries healed the right way.
You didn’t pay the orthopedic doctor anything up front. You didn’t drain your savings. You didn’t go into debt for medical care. When you received your settlement, your attorney paid the orthopedic doctor from those funds. You received what remained.
You focus on healing. We handle everything else.
Frequently Asked Questions About Orthopedic Treatment
Will I need orthopedic surgery after an accident?
Many people worry they’ll need orthopedic surgery for accident injuries. The orthopedic specialists in CALLMAA’s network treat surgery as the last option, not the first. They start with conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, injections, and bracing. However, some injuries do require surgery. We can coordinate surgical care with skilled doctors.
What is the difference between a sprain and a strain?
A sprain is an injury to a ligament—the tough bands of tissue that connect bones to other bones at your joints. A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon—the fibrous cords that attach muscles to bones. Both cause pain, swelling, and limited movement from the sudden forces your body experiences during a car accident.
Your orthopedic doctor diagnoses if you have a sprain or strain through physical examination and sometimes imaging tests.
How long is rehabilitation for musculoskeletal injuries?
Recovery time varies depending on the injury and how well you follow your treatment plan. Minor soft tissue injuries might require just a few weeks of physical therapy, while severe injuries like complete ligament ruptures or spinal injuries can require six months to a year or longer.
You should never cut rehabilitation short because of cost concerns. With lien-based treatment, you continue physical therapy and follow-up orthopedic appointments as long as medically necessary.
