Specialized Care for Auto Accident Injuries

Car accidents can lead to a variety of painful injuries, even from low-impact collisions. Prompt medical attention is key to preventing chronic pain and long-term complications. At Greater Austin Pain Center in San Marcos, our team treats everything from mild muscle strains to severe spinal injuries with precision and care.

Whiplash happens when the neck is rapidly jolted forward and backward, damaging soft tissues and causing pain, stiffness, or headaches. Mild cases typically improve with physical therapy and gentle stretching, while persistent pain may benefit from trigger point injections, joint injections, or other advanced pain relief treatments.

Spine Fractures

The spine is highly vulnerable in motor vehicle collisions. Herniated discs, vertebral fractures, and nerve compression can cause lasting pain if untreated. Our doctors use imaging and neurological assessments to determine the best treatment approach, which may include decompression therapy, nerve blocks, or regenerative procedures to restore function.

Back injuries are among the most common issues following an accident. For accurate diagnosis, please bring any prior imaging, test results, or medication lists to your appointment. Our San Marcos pain management specialists will evaluate your condition and recommend non-surgical solutions to reduce pain and promote recovery.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Soft tissue injuries, such as sprains, muscle tears, and ligament damage, can cause significant discomfort and swelling. Treatment typically involves rest, physical therapy, and in some cases, interventional options like corticosteroid injections to relieve inflammation and accelerate healing.

Impact from car accidents can easily affect the shoulders, resulting in dislocations, tendon tears, or fractures. Our providers focus on restoring shoulder mobility through a combination of rehabilitation, targeted injections, and minimally invasive pain procedures.

Knee injuries are frequently seen in auto accidents due to the impact of the dashboard or seat in front of you. These can range from ligament sprains to meniscus tears. Our tailored recovery plans may include bracing, guided exercise therapy, and injections to help you regain strength and stability.

High-impact crashes or falls can lead to hip dislocations, fractures, or severe bruising. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve immobilization, therapy, and pain control methods to restore strength and movement. Surgical options may be discussed for complex injuries.

Other Personal Injuries We Treat

Accidents can happen in the workplace, during sports, or even at home. Our San Marcos pain clinic treats a wide range of injuries caused by everyday incidents, always focusing on individualized care that supports long-term recovery.

"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."
