Comprehensive Care for Auto Injuries

Auto accident injuries can be physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming. Immediate medical care is crucial to prevent long-term complications from car accident injuries. At Greater Austin Pain Center, we offer a full spectrum of treatment options to help you recover. Our team specializes in treating car crash injuries of all severities, from minor strains to serious injuries that require more intensive care.

Whiplash is a common injury in rear-end collisions. It occurs when the head is jerked back and forth rapidly, causing strain on the neck muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Symptoms can include pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and a decreased range of motion. Although whiplash often resolves with chiropractic care and physical therapy, more severe cases may require interventional pain management such as trigger point injections or epidural steroid injections to relieve chronic pain and expedite recovery.

Spine Fractures

Back injuries are one of the most common results of auto accident injuries. These can range from muscle strains to more serious conditions like herniated discs and spinal fractures. For instance, herniated discs occur when the cushioning discs between vertebrae rupture or slip out of place, compressing nerves and causing pain. Treatment may include spinal decompression, physical therapy, and interventional pain treatments like nerve blocks or spinal cord stimulators. Timely and proper care can help you recover faster and prevent long-term complications from back injuries.

To ensure the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, please bring relevant medical records, imaging results (such as X-rays or MRIs), and a list of medications you are currently taking. This information helps our pain doctors assess your condition and determine the best non-invasive pain management techniques to promote healing and support your recovery process.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Soft tissue injuries, such as ligament sprains, muscle strains, and tendon tears, are common following a car accident. These injuries often cause swelling, bruising, and significant pain in the neck, back, and extremities. Common treatments for soft tissue injuries include the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) and physical therapy. In severe cases, corticosteroid injections or other interventional pain treatments may be necessary to reduce inflammation and facilitate healing.

The shoulder is highly vulnerable in car accidents, especially in side impacts. Rotator cuff tears, dislocations, and fractures are common and can severely restrict arm movement. Treatment often includes a combination of physical therapy, injections, and, if necessary, nerve stimulation to restore full function.

The knees often bear the brunt of the impact in an accident, leading to injuries such as ACL tears, meniscus damage, or fractures. Knee injuries can result in decreased range of motion, pain, and instability. A tailored rehabilitation program involving injections, bracing, and physical therapy is essential for restoring full knee function and alleviating pain. Early treatment can make a significant difference in recovery time and prevent long-term issues.

Hip dislocations and fractures often occur in high-impact accidents, particularly in truck wrecks or motor vehicle accidents. These injuries can require long recovery times and may involve immobilization, pain management, and physical therapy to restore strength and mobility. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to stabilize the joint and improve mobility.

"Dr. Julia was not what I expected at this place. I could sense genuine concern for the chronic pains that I have suffered with for years. It was refreshing to listen to him explain the reasons for my pain, and that I could understand his explanations. I look forward to the next treatments he has planned for me, and the chance -hopefully- to get the pain under control. After nearly a dozen trips to ER this year, these solutions excite me."
