Personal injury care
Personal Injury Doctor in California
After an accident, the right doctor matters for both your recovery and your case. Center for Pain's physicians specialize in personal injury care — evaluating, treating, and documenting accident injuries across pain management, orthopedics, and neurosurgery.
What to expect at your first visit
- 1
Tell us what happened
We take a full history of the accident and your symptoms — including pain that started days after the incident.
- 2
Physician evaluation
A physician examines you and orders imaging (X-ray, MRI) when needed to identify the source of your pain.
- 3
A coordinated treatment plan
Pain management, orthopedic, and neurosurgical care are planned together, so you are treated by one team rather than sent between clinics.

Frequently asked questions
Should I see a doctor even if I feel fine after a car accident?+
Yes. Many accident injuries — including whiplash and disc injuries — produce symptoms hours or days later. An early evaluation protects your health and documents your injuries close to the date of the accident.
Can I be treated if I do not have health insurance?+
Yes. Personal injury patients are treated on a lien basis, which does not depend on health insurance.
Do you work with my attorney?+
Yes. We coordinate directly with your attorney's office and provide detailed records of your evaluation and treatment.
What if I have not hired an attorney yet?+
You can still be seen. Your evaluation and treatment can begin right away.
