At New York Pain Medicine Associates, we are ready and able to help with your motor vehicle-related or work-related injury case. Our specialists work to create a comprehensive care plan for your unique needs to get you back to working and living pain-free.
Car accidents can cause a variety of painful injuries. In many motor vehicle accidents, minor injuries like cuts or scrapes to your arms or face are common. However, you may also sustain an injury that could result in chronic pain and limited mobility.
Common types of serious automobile-related injuries include:
From concussions to traumatic brain injuries, impact with steering wheels, dashboards, or windows can cause physical and cognitive complications that should be treated immediately.
The sudden force of collision frequently fractures ribs, arms, legs, and other bones, requiring extensive healing time and potential surgical intervention.
The jarring motion of crashes can cause spinal discs bulge or rupture. This can lead to chronic back pain and nerve compression.
Dashboard impacts and awkward positioning during accidents commonly damage knee joints, ligaments, and cartilage, affecting mobility and stability.
Whiplash is a common neck injury in both car accidents and workers compensation accidents, occurring when your neck jerks back and forth quickly and violently. When the spine bends past its normal range of motion, it can injure the vertebrae of your cervical spine, potentially damaging the supporting ligaments and muscles in your neck. Treatment options for whiplash may include rest, medications and injections. Physical therapy may also be an important part of your recovery. Your provider can create a care plan that is right for your needs.
The team at New York Pain Medicine Associate has extensive experience handling both the medical and legal complexities of injuries caused by car accidents. Throughout your treatment, we maintain proper records to support a legal case involving the accident.
The latest diagnostic services are available to assess the extent of your injuries. Your physician will create a treatment plan that focuses on pain relief and preserving the function of the injured area.
Depending on the location and severity of your injury, you may benefit from treatments like:
Regenerative medicine therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are also available to promote healing from the inside out. These therapies use your body’s ability to regenerate healthy cells to replace damaged tendons, muscles, and bone.
Surgical intervention may be necessary if your workplace or auto accident results in injury to bone or soft tissue. Initially, you can expect to try non-surgical therapies to reduce pain and help you heal. We frequently prioritize using the most conservative treatment options before opting for surgical intervention. However, if non-surgical options aren’t effective, you may be a candidate for surgery.
The team New York Pain Medicine Associate offers several surgical treatments to repair damage and keep you fit and active. Our providers use minimally invasive techniques that require only small incisions and cause less trauma to your body. With most of our procedures, patients can typically leave our surgical centers the same day!
If you do need surgery, your physician continues to monitor your care after the procedure. They provide customized, post-surgical pain management therapies to help you heal fully and without pain.
