What should I do for an auto accident injury? 

After an auto accident, it’s important to see a medical professional immediately. Not all injuries are apparent right after an accident, so a general checkup is a good way to detect those issues. 

If you’re in pain immediately after an auto accident injury, it’s imperative to get medical help right away. Acute pain, which typically only lasts for days or weeks, could become chronic pain or a permanent injury if you don’t get the help you need. 

Apex Pain Specialists welcomes auto accident injury victims. The experienced board-certified physicians specialize in spine care, including back and neck pain following auto accident injuries. 

What are the options for auto accident injury treatment? 

Apex Pain Specialists uses a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to help patients recapture their health and return to full function. They often use several approaches to help patients heal and return to their lives as quickly as possible. 

You’ll generally start with activity modification, rest, and physical therapy. You may need conservative pain medication for a short time immediately after your auto accident injury. Apex Pain Specialists offers longer-lasting pain relief and helps you transition away from potentially harmful medication quickly. 

Many patients in auto accidents have one or more interventional pain management treatments. Some of the many options include:   

• Steroid injections
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
• Restorative cellular therapy 
• Nerve blocks
• Radiofrequency ablation
• Percutaneous discectomy
• Kyphoplasty
• Spinal cord stimulation

After an auto accident injury, the goals are accelerating your healing, relieving your pain, and returning you to your preinjury state of wellness. 

How long does recovery take after an auto accident injury? 

Your body needs time to heal after an auto accident injury, so it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to recover. 

Apex Pain Specialists creates a personalized treatment plan to guide you through recovery. Most patients have more appointments in the beginning, often a few times a week, and then transition to fewer appointments as they heal and feel better. Ultimately, they’ll help you return to full activities as strong as ever.
