Full Swing Healthcare on Beach Blvd is built for car accident injuries, clinically and on the paperwork side. We know how Florida PIP works, we know how to document your care so your claim holds up, and we offer same-day appointments for accident patients. If you were just in a crash, call us today: (904) 539-3352.
The 14-Day Rule Is Not Flexible
Florida law gives you exactly 14 days from the date of your accident to seek initial medical treatment. Miss that window and your PIP coverage is gone, no matter how serious your injuries turn out to be. We hear from people every single week who waited to see if the pain would fade on its own, and now they’re on day eleven or twelve. We make time for those calls.
Don’t wait to find out whether you’re hurt. Come in and let us assess you. If nothing is wrong, we’ll tell you that honestly. But if something is going on, and with car accidents, something usually is, you want it on record before that window closes.
What We Actually Treat
Whiplash is the most common presentation we see, and it’s more involved than most people expect. The facet joints at C4-C5 and C5-C6 bear the brunt of force in a rear-end impact, those are almost always where we find restriction. Thoracic involvement is common too, especially when the seatbelt did its job and restrained the torso. Lumbar disc stress from the sudden compressive load happens more often than people expect, even in low-speed crashes.
We also assess for shoulder injuries from the seatbelt mechanism and from bracing against the steering wheel. Those present differently from typical rotator cuff overuse, we check for them specifically with every accident patient.
- Cervical strain and whiplash (C4-C5, C5-C6 facet involvement)
- Thoracic restriction from seatbelt restraint
- Lumbar disc stress from compressive loading
- Shoulder injuries from seatbelt or bracing mechanism
- Headaches originating from the upper cervical spine
Documentation That Supports Your Claim
Every visit generates detailed clinical records with objective findings, range of motion measurements, orthopedic test results, functional assessments. That documentation is what supports your PIP claim and, if your damages exceed PIP limits, your personal injury case. We understand how adjusters and attorneys read these records, and we build them with that in mind from day one.
We coordinate with personal injury attorneys regularly and can refer you to reputable Jacksonville-area PI firms that work on contingency if you don’t already have representation.
