Accidents
Accidents and injuries are common in our fast paced society. From seemingly small injuries such as a minor slip and fall to major accidents such as car crashes, symptoms are often felt immediately; at other times they may not be felt for up to several days. The injuries may also cause musculo-skeletal instability which may lead to future or chronic problems. These symptoms may include pain, stiffness, joint instability, numbness, tingling, limited range of motion or weakness.
In our office we first perform a physical examination to determine the nature of the injury. Then we go over with the patient the recommended course of treatment. Our first goal is to treat to minimize the pain. Then we work to correct the root cause of the symptoms to stop acute symptoms from turning into chronic conditions.
