Services / Car & Workplace Accidents

Rehabilitation after a car accident or on-the-job injury

After a crash or a workplace injury, the treatment matters and so does the paperwork. We handle both — structured rehabilitation plus the documentation your insurer, employer or attorney needs.

About car & workplace accidents

New Jersey auto policies include personal injury protection, which generally covers physical therapy after a motor vehicle accident regardless of fault. We verify your PIP benefits, bill them directly where possible and keep detailed notes of your functional progress.

Common post-accident cases include whiplash and neck pain, headaches, low back injury, shoulder and knee trauma, and the delayed stiffness that shows up days after the collision. Workers' compensation cases often involve lifting injuries, repetitive strain, falls and warehouse or trades-related shoulder and back problems.

Starting early matters. Prompt, documented care shortens recovery and creates the objective record that supports your claim. Both our Springfield and Ironbound clinics offer early and evening appointments so treatment fits around work.

Common questions

Will my auto insurance pay for physical therapy?
New Jersey PIP coverage typically pays for medically necessary physical therapy after a motor vehicle accident. We verify your benefits before you begin.
Can you treat a workers' compensation injury?
Yes. We coordinate with your employer's carrier and provide the progress documentation the claim requires.
How soon after the accident should I come in?
As soon as you are medically cleared. Early treatment reduces stiffness and creates a clear record of your injury.
