When and if you are involved in a car accident we suggest
you think of SHCC Centers for Neurology and Pain Management.
We offer a broad range of professional services and experience
in treating injuries from automobile and traffic accidents.
From whiplash to post-concussion syndrome our team of physicians
offer treatment for injuries affecting the entire nervous
system. Our centers physician specialists provide testing,
evaluation and treatment for every possible aspect of such
injuries.
The impact of two
cars exerts thousands of pounds of force and consequently
much of that force is transmitted to necks and spines. Circumstances
of the injuries differ widely and speed is always critical.
Passenger locations and number of occupants also makes a difference.
Seat belts too, determine the degree of injury and our accident
injury treatment team looks for the soft tissue damage that
belts can sometimes cause.
Frequently, there
is injury to the cervical spine because of the weight of the
head snapping forward and back. Thus the term: whiplash. If
the head strikes something in the car there could be additional
injuries called Post-Concussion syndrome. Some symptoms of
injury might show up immediately but others may not appear
for weeks or months. Emergency room treatment might not fully
reveal these injuries.
Some common symptoms
of whiplash and Post-Concussion Syndrome are:
 Neck
pain and restriction of movement.
Headache
that won't go away.
Tiredness
and feelings of nervousness.
Trouble
with balance, equilibrium.
Ringing
in the ears.
Nausea.
Inability
to sleep and excessive sweating.
Numbness
in extremities.
Inability
to concentrate or memory loss.
When the term whiplash is used in describing injury from an
accident it often generates exaggerated feelings of fear that
include psychological consequences. Injuries of this type
are always treatable and most often very successfully. That's
why it is so important the accident victim seek experienced
specialists when such injury is present or suspected.
Pain is, of course,
the major symptom in this type of injury. And, sometimes muscles
react even when not directly involved. The result is hypertension
and muscle pain sets up a vicious cycle with the nerves of
the spinal cord, this increases muscle tension, which increases
pain and further tension. Skeletal and muscular injuries heal
quicker if treatment is started early.
