Injuries are very common with today’s active lifestyles. They could be as simple as a sprain to the neck or lower back area from bending or twisting, to potentially serious injuries related to sports, slip and falls, work or automobile accidents. While some of these injuries can heal over a period of time, others can leave a person with problems like chronic, debilitating headaches, neck pain, low back pain, trouble with memory and sleeping.
Whiplash injuries related to an auto accident could result in herniated disks in the neck and/or the lower back. These injuries can aggravate a pre-existing disk problem or an arthritis related problem. If not recognized early and treated appropriately, these injuries can lead to long-term suffering and disability. Head injuries can cause long term headaches, memory or emotional problems.
Our neurologists have an interest in treating injured patients early and aggressively. We provide a multidisciplinary approach utilizing teamwork and appropriate testing as needed. Each office is equipped with modern MRI read by excellent neuroradiologists, a full-service rehabilitation center staffed by a licensed physical therapist, and a neuropsychologist specializing in head injury cases. It is extremely important to diagnose and treat these injuries as early as possible.
In addition, we work with various attorneys in Broward and Dade County. A consultation with these professionals is often advisable as they can assist you with reviewing your automobile, health, or disability insurance policies to determine what benefits you are entitled to, some of which you may not be aware. We are happy to assist with accidental injury related needs and can often schedule patients within one day.
