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.
At Sunrise Medical Group, we have developed a special skill and interest in treating injured patients early and aggressively. Wee provide a multidisciplinary approach utilizing teamwork and appropriate testing as needed. Each office is equipped with state of the art MRI read by excellent neuroradiologists, a full-service rehabilitation center staffed by a licensed physical therapist, and a neuropsychologist specializing in head injury cases. Alternative medical treatments such as Acupuncture, are often effective in treating these conditions, and are available in each of our offices. 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. An attorney can also assist you if you are out of work. Often people do not realize the adversarial position they face with insurance companies after an injury and an experienced attorney can be of great help. At Sunrise Medical Group, we are eager to assist with accidental injury related needs and can often schedule patients within one day.
