Auto Accident Injuries
Car accidents cause a wide spectrum of injuries, from soft tissue strains and whiplash to herniated discs, traumatic brain injuries, and complex spinal conditions. Our MVA injury program provides immediate evaluation, on-site diagnostic imaging, and coordinated treatment by orthopedic, neurological, and pain management specialists. Treatment is accepted on a medical lien basis for patients with pending personal injury claims.
Work and Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries — including back injuries from lifting, repetitive stress injuries, slip and fall injuries, and traumatic joint injuries — require prompt diagnosis and documented treatment to protect both the patient’s health and their workers’ compensation claim. Merrillville Injury Care coordinates directly with employers, case managers, and workers’ comp insurance carriers to provide efficient, well-documented care.
Spine Conditions and Joint Injuries
Degenerative spine conditions such as spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and facet joint syndrome frequently overlap with traumatic injuries, complicating diagnosis and treatment planning. Our orthopedic and neurological specialists are experienced in distinguishing pre-existing conditions from acute traumatic injuries — a critical distinction for insurance and legal purposes. We also treat the full range of joint and extremity injuries affecting the shoulder, knee, hip, ankle, elbow, wrist, and hand.
