Auto Accidents
Often when we experience an auto accident, our first concerns are about damage to our vehicle, insurance deductibles, and whether the other party suffered any injuries. It is common to not seek immediate medical attention if we do not feel any initial pain. This can be a costly mistake. Chances are if you have been in an auto accident recently or in the past, you have suffered some degree of damage to your body. Even without any noticeable pain right after an accident, more serious problems can arise months or possibly years later. Spinal and soft tissue injuries can be complex and require an expert to locate the problem area. Call us today to find out how we can help your recovery.
What injuries could I have?
Studies have shown that even low impact accidents, at as little as 5 mph, can cause bodily harm to the occupants. Do not let the damage to your vehicle be the indication of damage to your neck, head, or spine. Cars are made to withstand collisions, but the force of the impact is transferrable to those inside. Whiplash is the most common injury endured from all collisions. Even if you do not feel any pain at the scene of the accident, the damage you may have suffered can affect many areas of the body later in life. At Interventional Pain Associates, we can determine and treat many injuries including:
- Whiplash
- Vertebrae misalignment
- Sprained or torn muscles
- Post-traumatic osteoarthritis
- Damaged joints
It is important to visit with a specialist who can assess possible damage and prevent future complications such as headaches, arthritis, and chronic pain. Contact us today if you have been in an auto accident to get your body back to pre-accident condition and pain-free.
Is it too late to treat my injuries?
Not at all. While it is better to get checked out and begin restorative therapy sooner rather than later, even years after an auto accident you can alleviate aches and pains through targeted massages and physical therapy. Since many of the injuries from an accident can radiate to other areas of the body, it can be difficult to pinpoint the source of pain. Are you afflicted by chronic headaches, sexual dysfunction, muscle spasms, or other health issues? Many of these seemingly unrelated difficulties stem from previous injuries and can be relieved through treatment at Interventional Pain Associates.
What can I do now?
While popping pain pills can ease the discomfort, it cannot repair the damage to your spine or soft tissue. Getting proper care after an auto accident can greatly improve your quality of life by making your day to day life free from chronic pain. Visit us at Interventional Pain Associates to find out more about treatments available to you. It's never too late to get healthy and happy.
