Same-Day MVA Appointments Available — No Insurance Required | Lien-Based TreatmentTreatment in Merrillville, Indiana
Merrillville Injury Care provides a structured, multi-specialty treatment pathway for patients injured in motor vehicle accidents. From initial evaluation and diagnostic imaging through interventional procedures, surgery, and rehabilitation, every phase of your care is coordinated at our Merrillville, Indiana facility.
Initial Evaluation and Diagnosis
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation by our orthopedic or neurological specialist, including a detailed history of the accident mechanism, physical examination, and on-site digital X-ray. When soft tissue damage, nerve involvement, or disc injury is suspected, our team coordinates MRI imaging and performs EMG/nerve conduction studies to confirm the diagnosis and establish the full extent of your injuries.
Conservative and Interventional Treatment
Most MVA injuries respond to a combination of structured physical therapy and, when needed, interventional pain management procedures. Our physical therapy program focuses on pain reduction, range of motion restoration, and functional recovery. For persistent pain, inflammation, or nerve involvement, Dr. Ungar-Sargon may recommend epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, trigger point injections, or radiofrequency ablation to provide targeted relief.
Surgical Treatment When Necessary
When conservative and interventional treatments are insufficient, Dr. Bernard Rerri evaluates surgical options at our onsite Merrillville Plaza Surgery Center. Available procedures include minimally invasive spine surgery, discectomy, disc replacement, spinal fusion, and arthroscopic joint surgery. Our outpatient surgery center allows most patients to return home the same day with a structured post-surgical rehabilitation plan.
