Most cases of back pain come from injuries, sometimes ages ago. It is crucial to have yourself checked when your body has been through an abnormal amount of jolting around. We treat sports injuries, but we also specialize in auto accidents. Far more dangerous, the ASIRT (Association for Safe International Road Travel) calls road fatalities and injuries an epidemic. According to them, nearly 1.25 million people die a year, or an average of over 3,200 a day, and between 20 to 50 million injured or disabled.
Don’t let a sports or car accident cause you more grief than it needs to, call us
The spine is one of the most crucial areas to have treated right away. Even in something as light as a fender bender, your back sustains stress and can leave you with lingering pain. If left untreated, it can spread to extremities, arms, and legs. These are what lead to the chronic pain many feel as they get older. Our interest is to heal your injuries, alleviate your pain, and protect you from any of those later aches and pains
Disc Injury
Both the more severe sports injuries and auto accidents can result in spinal disc injuries. These are some of the most debilitating, giving you a lack in your mobility and sharp pain. Here at North Houston Spine and Sports Medicine, we have all the equipment for a proper diagnosis. Sometimes a simple check will be enough, but we have an X-ray, CT scan, MRI, and Myelogram machines on-hand. We can help with chiropractic treatment and spinal decompression for a herniated disc and rehab for surgery in extreme cases.
Whiplash
Far more common and far more treatable from a car crash is whiplash. In any event that jolts you around as a wreck does, your spine gets put under severe strain. In a wreck where you have a sharp stop, your head tries to catch up after your body is flung forward, putting a great deal of force on your neck. Walking away, you may not feel much pain. But if it begins to hurt within a few hours, you should get it checked and treated.
