When pain continues after a car accident, follow-up should keep your symptoms, treatment and medical records connected. Florida Injury Centers provides physician-led auto injury evaluation and ongoing oversight for patients in Florida, using telemedicine alongside appropriate in-person care.
How telemedicine supports auto injury follow-up
A video visit allows your physician to discuss changes in symptoms, review available emergency department records and imaging reports, and assess how the injury affects your daily activities. Tell your physician about difficulties with sleep, work, walking, sitting or other tasks, as well as any changes since your last visit.
Dr. Kevin Huffman, D.O., leads FIC’s medical care model. Recommendations are based on your individual evaluation and may include imaging, medication management, rehabilitation or specialist consultation when clinically indicated.
One physician guiding a coordinated plan
Follow-up helps your physician review your response to care and determine the next steps. If you receive treatment from a participating chiropractic practice or another local provider, FIC can coordinate relevant reports and recommendations with appropriate authorization.
Local providers deliver their own services and schedule their own appointments. Physician telemedicine access is separate from affiliate office hours. You can browse participating affiliate offices or explore care by city.
When in-person care is needed
Telemedicine is one part of an injury-care plan. A video visit does not provide every hands-on examination finding. Your physician may recommend an in-person assessment when needed. Imaging, injections, surgery and hands-on treatment take place through the appropriate in-person provider.
For a medical emergency, call 911 or seek immediate emergency care.
Prepare for your follow-up visit
- Have your current medication list and pharmacy information available.
- Bring available emergency department records, imaging reports and specialist recommendations.
- Write down changes in symptoms and specific activities that remain difficult.
- List the providers you have seen and any appointments you have missed or could not schedule.
- Choose a quiet, private place and check that your device, camera and internet connection work.
These details help your physician understand your progress and any barriers to completing the care plan.
