It can happen in the blink of an eye – a car accident, a slip and fall, an injury at work, a traumatic event – and it completely disrupts your life.  Doctor’s appointments, physical therapy, surgery, attorney meetings, court hearings, insurance claims, time out of work, sacrifices – it all makes the healing process after a traumatic event more difficult.  At OSA, Dr. Atwater leads a team of orthopedic specialists who are committed to the total well-being of their patients.  Compassion and listening are the core of our practices, and if we can make you smile, that’s all the better. Personal injury topics will include orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions that happen as a result of an accident or traumatic injury.  Whiplash, dog bites, amputations, and broken bones are just a few of the types of injuries we treat at OSA.  In this blog, we will discuss the various injuries, procedures, safety measures, and help you understand everything you need to know about your personal injury and their long-term effects.
