Our medical and physical therapy teams have extensive experience helping with automobile-related injuries.
Car accidents happen in an instant, but their impact on your body can last for months or even years. The sudden force of a collision can cause serious injuries to your spine, joints, and soft tissues that require specialized medical care to heal properly.
At Oasis Medical Group, we understand the complex nature of automobile injuries and provide comprehensive orthopedic and spine care to help you recover fully. Our experienced team of specialists works closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific injuries and helps you return to your normal activities as quickly and safely as possible.
Motor vehicle accidents can cause a wide range of conditions, from minor soft tissue damage to serious fractures and spinal cord injuries. The most frequent injuries we see include whiplash, herniated discs, compression fractures, and joint injuries to the knees, shoulders, and hips.
Your spine is particularly vulnerable during a car accident because of the sudden jerking motion that occurs on impact. This can cause herniated discs, where the soft material inside your spinal discs pushes out and presses on nearby nerves. You might also experience compression fractures, especially in the lower back, which can be extremely painful and limit your mobility.
Whiplash is another common spinal injury that occurs when your head snaps forward and backward rapidly. This motion can damage the muscles, ligaments, and joints in your neck, causing pain, stiffness, and headaches that can persist for weeks or months without proper treatment.
The impact of a car accident can also cause fractures in your arms, legs, ribs, or pelvis. These injuries often require immediate medical attention and may need surgical intervention to heal properly. Joint injuries, particularly to the knees and shoulders, are also common and can significantly impact your daily activities.
Many automobile injuries don’t show immediate symptoms, which is why it’s crucial to seek medical attention even if you feel fine after an accident. Adrenaline and shock can mask pain and other symptoms for hours or even days after the incident.
Soft tissue injuries, including muscle strains and ligament sprains, often develop gradually over the first 24 to 48 hours following an accident. You might wake up the morning after your accident feeling significantly more pain and stiffness than you experienced immediately after the collision. Similarly, some spinal injuries may not cause noticeable symptoms right away. A herniated disc might not press on a nerve until swelling develops, which can take several days. This delayed onset of symptoms is why medical professionals recommend seeking evaluation as soon as possible after any motor vehicle accident.
At Oasis Medical Group, we take a multidisciplinary approach to treating automobile injuries. Our team includes orthopedic surgeons, spine specialists, and pain management physicians who work together to provide you with the most effective treatment possible.
We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to accurately identify your injuries and develop the most appropriate treatment plan. This includes digital X-rays, MRI scans, and CT scans that give us detailed images of your bones, muscles, and soft tissues.
Depending on the severity of your injuries, we may recommend non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, pain management injections, or minimally invasive procedures. For more serious injuries, our skilled surgeons can perform advanced procedures including spinal fusion, joint replacement, or fracture repair using the latest surgical techniques.
Recovery from automobile injuries varies greatly depending on the type and severity of your injuries, your overall health, and how quickly you begin treatment. Understanding what to expect can help you stay motivated throughout your healing journey.
During the first few weeks after your accident, our focus is on managing pain and inflammation while allowing your body to begin the natural healing process. This may involve prescription medications, rest, and gentle movement as tolerated.
As your acute symptoms improve, we’ll gradually introduce more active treatments. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in restoring strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Our therapists work closely with your medical team to ensure your rehabilitation program supports your overall treatment goals.
The ultimate goal of treatment is to restore your function and quality of life. This means not just eliminating pain, but helping you return to work, recreational activities, and daily tasks without limitation.
Automobile accidents often involve complex insurance and legal issues that can add stress to an already difficult situation. Our team has extensive experience working with auto insurance companies and personal injury attorneys to ensure you receive the care you need.
We provide detailed documentation of your injuries, treatment plans, and progress to support your insurance claims and any legal proceedings. Our staff can communicate directly with your insurance company and attorney to streamline the process and reduce your administrative burden.
