Personal injury care
Auto accident? I can help.
Same-day and next-day appointments often available for new personal injury patients in La Jolla and across San Diego. I work directly with attorneys and provide the documentation your case needs.
Don't wait for symptoms to show up.
Soft tissue injuries — whiplash, strained muscles, joint sprains — often don't surface until days or weeks after an accident. What feels like adrenaline at the scene becomes pain, stiffness, and headaches a week later.
Getting evaluated soon is important for two reasons: documentation for your claim, and catching injuries before they become chronic. Even if you feel "mostly fine," a thorough exam can identify what needs attention now versus what to monitor.
What I treat
Injuries I see most often.
Auto accidents and personal injuries cause a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. The patterns repeat — and they respond well to thorough, hands-on care combined with movement-based recovery.
Whiplash & neck injuries
The most common auto accident injury. Pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced range of motion in the neck — sometimes radiating into the shoulders or arms.
Low back & spine injuries
Lumbar sprains, disc irritation, and SI joint dysfunction are common after even minor collisions. Often worsen over the first few weeks.
Headaches & concussion symptoms
Post-traumatic headaches and tension-type pain often follow neck trauma. I assess for cervicogenic causes and refer when imaging is needed.
Soft tissue & muscle strain
Sprains, strains, and trigger points throughout the body. Often the cause of pain that "moves around" or doesn't have one clear source.
Shoulder & rib injuries
Seatbelt and airbag impact often causes shoulder, clavicle, and rib pain that lingers — and limits everything from sleep to driving.
Delayed-onset pain & stiffness
Symptoms that surface days or weeks after a collision — often when adrenaline subsides. Common, and worth getting evaluated even if you felt "mostly fine" at the scene.

Common questions
Accident care, answered.
As soon as you can — ideally within the first few days. Soft tissue injuries like whiplash often don't cause pain until days or weeks after the collision, and early evaluation both catches injuries before they become chronic and creates the documentation your claim needs.
Usually yes — care after a car accident in California is typically paid through the auto insurance claim (including med-pay if you have it), through a personal injury attorney on a lien basis, or through your health insurance. I handle the billing coordination and documentation either way, so treatment doesn't wait on paperwork.
For qualifying cases I offer lien-based care — treatment proceeds now, and billing is coordinated through your attorney when your case settles. You focus on recovering; I coordinate the rest.
Yes — I work directly with personal injury attorneys across San Diego County, providing treatment notes, progress reports, and any documentation your case needs, from the first exam through discharge.
