NYPMR prides itself on helping car accident victims get back on their feet and live healthy, normal lives.
Auto accident victims can trust the team at NYPMR with all their pain and injury needs. Through a wide range of treatment options, the road to recovery after an accident is achievable.
Treatments include massage therapy, spinal decompression, and comprehensive care for neck pain, back pain, and other injuries caused by auto accidents.
“Whiplash and Cervical Acceleration/Deceleration Syndrome (CAD),” say NYPMR pain and recovery doctors, “are among the most common car accident injuries. Whiplash, a serious injury resulting from a car accident, should not be taken lightly. It essentially involves damage to the neck bones.”
Whiplash injuries account for up to a third of insurance injury claims, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Whiplash, which occurs from the sudden backward snap of the head in a rear-end collision, is one of the most common, painful, and costly side effects of minor auto accidents. More than 300,000 whiplash injuries are recorded in America every year, with effects ranging from paralysis to something as minor as a stiff neck.
Whiplash is caused by rapid acceleration and deceleration, which can lead to sprain/strain affecting the spine. At NYPMR, our auto injury specialty doctors will evaluate your injuries as quickly as possible, ensuring that any unforeseen problems are identified and treated promptly.
Auto accident injuries are not always detected right away. Many accident victims report not feeling any pain immediately after an accident. Symptoms of possible injuries may take days or even weeks to appear.
Symptoms can include stiffness and tightness in the neck, upper back pain, shoulder pain, headaches, dizziness, arm and leg pain, knee pain, numbness, the feeling of pins and needles, fatigue, jaw/TMJ pain, and muscle spasms.
These symptoms indicate that your body is injured! If these injuries are not properly evaluated and treated, they can lead to future problems.
If your spouse, family member, friend, or co-worker has been involved in an auto collision, contact NYPMR as soon as possible for an evaluation. Even if it’s been weeks or months, WE CAN HELP! Symptoms can be delayed, so call today.
