Comprehensive Care for Spine, Neck, and Back Pain

Our team helps people injured in car or work-related accidents find top local doctors who specialize in spine neck and back problems in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

Once you have pain in your neck or back after an injury, then it’s important to see a spine specialist quickly. Conditions like sprains, strains, herniated discs, and broken bones can improve with the right care.

Given that the spine is very important for your overall health, injuries can cause pain and make moving difficult. In addition, spine pain also causes issues in other parts of the body because of nerve problems like sciatica or pinched nerves.

Common Types of Back & Neck Pain and When to Seek Help

If you experience any of the following symptoms after getting hurt in a car accident, work, or slip and fall accident, then it is important to see a board-certified spine and back doctor before the problem gets worse:

  • Difficulty turning your head or looking over your shoulder.

  • Trouble bending, twisting, or moving as easily as before.

  • Sudden, uncontrollable tightness in your back or neck muscles.

  • Discomfort moving from your neck to other places.

  • A prickly or numb feeling in your arms, hands, legs, or feet.

  • Ongoing aches or sharp pains in your lower back.

  • Soreness or pain when pressing certain muscle areas.

For this reason, seeing an experienced provider quickly can help stop these spine, neck, and back symptoms from getting worse and make sure you get the right treatment.

Spine Care & Treatment Options

It’s important to know your options for spine injury care if you were hurt as a driver, passenger, pedestrian in a car accident, or as a worker on the job. To begin with, treatment usually begins with simple steps like physical therapy and pain management. These are often the first choices to help with spine problems. However, if these treatments don’t work or aren’t right for your situation, surgery might be needed. In this case, our network includes highly trained spine surgeons who can provide advanced surgical care when necessary.

Herniated Discs: Symptoms & Treatments

A herniated disc happens when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer. As a result, this can lead to neck or back pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs. If this is the case, and you’ve had a work or car accident, our team can help you quickly find a nearby doctor. Furthermore, our network includes board-certified spine specialists who offer treatments like physical therapy and minimally invasive procedures in order to provide effective injury care.

Spinal Stenosis: Symptoms & Treatments

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spaces within your spine, putting pressure on the nerves and leading to pain, numbness, and muscle weakness. The back and neck specialists in our network use advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans for spinal stenosis, including physical therapy and minimally invasive surgery, to alleviate the pressure and improve your mobility.

Sciatica: Symptoms & Treatments

Sciatica causes pain that radiates from your lower back down through your leg, therefore affecting your ability to move comfortably. If an accident has triggered sciatica, then we can help connect you with a physician knowledgeable in treating sciatica. With sciatica treatments like physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and epidural injections, the goal is to relieve your pain and help restore your mobility.
