Hurt in a Car Crash? Don’t Let Your Injuries Go Undiagnosed or Dismissed.
Even low-speed collisions can cause ligament injury, disc damage, spinal instability, and chronic headaches — but these injuries are often missed in emergency rooms and dismissed in IME reports.
At Proactive Healthcare, we specialize in identifying hidden spinal trauma and providing evidence-based treatment and documentation for your recovery and your legal case.
What Makes Our Crash Evaluation Different?
Objective Injury Detection
We use advanced diagnostics to identify injuries that routine films or basic exams miss:
- Stress-view X-rays (flexion-extension) for ligament laxity
- AOMSI measurements (mm & degrees) per AMA Guides
- MRI interpretation for annular tears, herniations, disc injury
- Age-dating analysis to distinguish trauma from pre-existing degeneration
- Computerized ROM + muscle strength testing
- Postural and neurological exams for functional impact
Med-Legal Documentation That Holds Up in Court
We collaborate with attorneys and medical teams to produce:
- Narrative injury reports
- Causation & age-dating opinions
- AMA Guides impairment ratings (5th & 6th Ed.)
- Plaintiff IMEs / second opinions
- Rebuttals to defense IMEs

- Documentation formatted for deposition and trial
