Common questions

I drive down from Fort Collins. Is Loveland the closest CCC?

Yes for most of you. CCC Loveland is the only CCC location in Northern Colorado. Fort Collins and Windsor drivers whose crashes happened on I-25 between Crossroads and Centerra reach the 29th Street clinic faster than any Denver-metro CCC location, and Leach can open the case inside the same week.

My crash was a rural two-lane collision on 287 or a county road. Does that matter clinically?

Yes, usually. Two-lane highway crashes often involve head-on or angle impacts rather than rear-ends, so mechanism work-up is different — we evaluate for rib, sternum, and upper-extremity injury alongside the cervical exam. Imaging triage trends earlier in these cases.

Can I keep treating through the winter months if I'm traveling?

Yes. Treatment plans and records move cleanly between CCC clinics. Loveland patients who winter in the Denver metro or Colorado Springs often schedule visits at those clinics during travel, then return to Loveland when back. The plan stays continuous.

Loveland is where Larimer County meets the I-25 corridor. Our 29th Street clinic handles the physician exam for your crash — whether that happened at the US-34 interchange, along Boyd Lake, or on a rural highway west of town. Leach orders imaging to Health Images at Centerra when warranted, then coordinates PT and massage on-site. Intake usually opens same-week.
