PAIN AFTER A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT

Car accidents can result in a variety of injuries, ranging from mild sprains to severe trauma. Even low-speed collisions can cause significant pain due to the sudden impact on the body. Common pain conditions associated with motor vehicle accidents include:
 

  • Whiplash – Sudden forceful movement of the neck can lead to stiffness, headaches, and upper back pain. Symptoms may take time to appear but can worsen if left untreated.

  • Herniated or Bulging Discs – Impact from a collision can cause spinal discs to shift or rupture, leading to nerve compression and radiating pain.

  • Soft Tissue Injuries – Damage to muscles, tendons, or ligaments can result in persistent pain and limited mobility.

  • Facet Joint Pain – The small joints in the spine can become inflamed due to trauma, leading to localized or radiating pain.

 

Pain management for motor vehicle accident injuries may involve physical therapy, medication, chiropractic care, interventional procedures (such as epidural injections or nerve blocks), and, in severe cases, surgical evaluation. Early intervention is crucial to prevent long-term complications.

WORK-RELATED
INJURIES AND PAIN

Workplace injuries can result from repetitive motions, improper lifting, prolonged sitting, or accidental falls. Common work-related injuries include:
 

  • Lower Back Strain – Poor posture, heavy lifting, or prolonged sitting can lead to muscle strain and disc issues.

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Repetitive wrist movements can cause nerve compression, leading to numbness and tingling in the hands.

  • Neck and Shoulder Pain – Desk jobs with improper ergonomics can lead to chronic stiffness and discomfort.

  • Tendonitis & Bursitis – Inflammation in tendons or bursae due to repetitive motion can cause joint pain and restricted movement.

​

Treatment may include ergonomic modifications, physical therapy, medications, and interventional procedures such as steroid injections. If pain persists, further testing like EMG/NCS may be needed to assess nerve function.

SPORTS-RELATED INJURIES AND PAIN

Athletes and active individuals are at risk for injuries due to overuse, improper technique, or sudden trauma. Common sports injuries include:

 

  • Sprains & Strains – Overstretched or torn ligaments and muscles cause pain and swelling.

  • Tendonitis – Inflammation of tendons, leading to joint pain and restricted movement.

  • Knee Injuries – ACL injuries, meniscus tears, or patellar tendonitis are common in sports that involve running, jumping, or pivoting.

  • Rotator Cuff Injuries – Shoulder injuries that affect mobility and strength.

 

Treatment options depend on the severity of the injury and may include rest, physical therapy, bracing, regenerative medicine (such as platelet-rich plasma therapy), and minimally invasive procedures to promote healing and reduce pain.

CHRONIC BACK PAIN

Chronic back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. It can be caused by:

 

  • Herniated Discs – Spinal discs can bulge or rupture, compressing nerves and causing radiating pain.

  • Spinal Stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress nerves and lead to discomfort and mobility issues.

  • Facet Joint Arthritis – Wear-and-tear arthritis in the small joints of the spine, leading to stiffness and discomfort.

  • Sciatica – Compression of the sciatic nerve, causing pain that radiates down the leg.

 

Management of chronic back pain often includes physical therapy, medications, interventional procedures like epidural steroid injections or facet joint injections, and, in some cases, advanced treatments like radiofrequency ablation to provide long-lasting relief.

JOINT PAIN AND ARTHRITIS

Joint pain can occur in the knees, hips, shoulders, and hands due to various conditions, including:

​

  • Osteoarthritis – Breakdown of cartilage in the joints leading to pain and stiffness.

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis – An autoimmune condition that causes joint inflammation and damage.

  • Bursitis – Inflammation of fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints.

  • Previous Injuries – Old injuries can lead to long-term joint pain and degeneration.

 

Pain management for joint pain may involve anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, physical therapy, and regenerative treatments like hyaluronic acid injections or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
