Motor vehicle accidents can cause serious musculoskeletal injuries that may not fully manifest until days after the collision. At Global Pain Management, we specialize in evaluating and treating auto accident injuries with the clinical expertise and documentation your personal injury case may require.
What is auto accident injuries?
Auto accident injuries frequently involve the cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine, and lumbar spine, as well as soft tissue structures, nerves, and joints. Whiplash is among the most common, resulting from the rapid back-and-forth motion of the neck during impact. Other common injuries include herniated discs, facet joint injuries, nerve compression, shoulder injuries, and traumatic headaches. The adrenaline released during an accident can mask pain initially — which is why it's important to be evaluated promptly even if you feel okay at the scene.
Common symptoms
- Neck pain or stiffness following an accident
- Headaches that started after the collision
- Back pain, especially in the lower back
- Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling into the arms or legs
- Shoulder or jaw pain
- Difficulty concentrating or sleep disruption
How we treat auto accident injuries
We conduct a thorough post-accident evaluation to identify all injury sites and create a comprehensive treatment plan. Our interventional options for auto injuries include cervical and lumbar epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, trigger point injections, and radiofrequency ablation for longer-term relief. We coordinate care with your primary care provider, physical therapists, and — when needed — your attorney. All clinical findings and treatment responses are documented in a manner consistent with personal injury case standards in Maryland.
