What Are Common Auto Injuries?
Auto injuries may cause temporary or permanent damage. The most common include whiplash, concussions, fractures, lacerations, neck, and spinal injuries. Some injuries may not show immediately. That is why you should always get a thorough physical examination after an auto collision. Even if you walk away feeling fine, there may be injuries brewing underneath that you may need insurance to cover later.
Our doctors will take x-rays and check you from head to toe. During our evaluation, we can see if there has been a buildup of scar tissue that will eventually cause stiffness and pain, especially when it comes to whiplash. Whiplash happens when the neck rapidly snaps back and forth and often occurs from a rear-end collision. A concussion happens when the brain moves around inside the head from a collision. Whiplash and concussions often come with headaches.
Whiplash causes pain and stiffness in the neck area and can reduce range of motion. Numbness, pain, and tingling may gravitate down to your arms. If you have lingering pain, we have several treatments to help you.
What Are Treatment Options?
During rehabilitation after a motor vehicle injury in Flushing & Manhattan, NY, doctors can work with you to help stretch your soft tissues to improve mobility and flexibility. Acupuncture is an ancient technique that promotes blood circulation and improves lymphatic flow. It relieves pain as doctors insert needles into targeted points in the body. As a result, your body can achieve balance and can heal better. Getting to the root of your pain can help prevent you from relying on medication. Whether you are at fault or the victim of an accident, Dr. Kao and Dr. Ma are here to assist you and help heal your body.
