Spinal Injury Care — Back and Neck Injury After an Accident
A back injury after an accident or a neck injury after an accident may involve the vertebrae, discs, nerves or surrounding soft tissue. Our physicians evaluate the injury, review imaging, and build a car accident treatment plan that relieves pain while documenting the injury properly for the case.
Conditions we treat
- Herniated and bulging discs
- Vertebral and compression fractures
- Whiplash and cervical strain
- Facet joint injury
- Sciatica and radiating nerve pain
- Spinal cord and nerve root injury
How we treat them
- Diagnostic imaging review (X-ray, MRI, CT)
- Interventional pain management and injections
- Chiropractic and physical rehabilitation
- Surgical referral when conservative care is not enough
- Ongoing symptom monitoring and re-evaluation
What to expect at the first visit
History and examHow the accident happened, current symptoms, and a focused physical exam of the spine and nerves.
Imaging reviewExisting X-ray, MRI or CT studies are reviewed, or the right study is ordered.
Care planA written plan with treatment frequency, referrals, and follow-up — shared with your attorney where a case is active.
Whiplash treatment
Whiplash after an accident is one of the most common reasons patients see a car accident doctor. Because symptoms often surface a day or two later, we assess neck movement, headaches and stiffness early, then combine manual therapy, guided exercise and pain relief until motion returns.
