Auto Injuries Q & A

What are auto injuries?

An auto injury happens when you have a road accident or injure yourself during a work or leisure pursuit involving a vehicle.

Many victims of auto accidents live with their injuries for months, not realizing the severity of the damage they sustain. If you’ve had a car accident and are still feeling the effects, Boston Pain Clinic has experts in diagnosing and treating auto injuries.

What kind of auto injuries might I sustain?

While walking away from an auto accident with your life is clearly something to be thankful for, you may not be out of the woods. Even if you don’t have any broken bones or deep cuts, you could still have injuries that cause severe pain, such as:

  • Herniated or bulging disc
  • Whiplash or cervical sprain
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Knee damage
  • Burns and scarring
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Paralysis

Out of all these injuries, you’re most likely to incur whiplash, which affects more than a million people in the U.S. each year.

Whiplash occurs when the force of a collision makes your head jerk back and forth violently, beyond its usual range of motion. This violent movement damages the muscle fibers that connect your head to your spine.

Should I seek medical attention for an auto injury?

You should visit a specialist in auto injuries like Boston Pain Clinic if your condition doesn’t improve or you experience certain symptoms after an accident, such as:

  • Back tenderness
  • Back pain
  • Numbness in your legs or arms
  • Vision problems
  • Neck, jaw, or shoulder pain
  • Severe headaches
  • Exhaustion or fatigue
  • Vertigo (a sense of the room spinning around you)

Boston Pain Clinic can provide the treatment you need for your auto injuries, enabling you to return to normal strength and flexibility while leaving behind the pain of whiplash and other injuries. With their help, you can regain mobility without invasive surgery and live pain-free.

What treatment might I need for an auto injury?

Boston Pain Clinic’s providers design personalized recovery plans to help patients return to optimal health. Each patient’s plan is unique to them but may contain treatments such as:

  • Physical therapy
  • Activity modification
  • Dry needling
  • Massage therapy
  • Trigger point injections
  • Steroid injections

Intravenous (IV) ketamine is also available for patients with severe treatment-resistant chronic pain.
