Pain management is usually a treatment that is referred by your doctor after you suffer an injury in a car accident. This type of medical treatment is usually recommended after conservative treatment with a chiropractor or physical therapist. If you are injured in an automobile crash, and conservative treatment does not resolve your symptoms, pain or injuries, you may be referred to a pain management doctor for treatment.
Commonly Performed Injections
An MRI of your neck and your back must be ordered to determine whether you suffered herniations or bulges in your car accident. Pain management doctors treat neck and back injuries if conservative treatment does not work. Injections are procedures that are commonly administered by pain management physicians to neck and back injuries. Frequent injection treatments utilized by doctors include nerve injections, epidural injections, discography, facet joint injections, lumbar epidural steroid injections, and nerve blocks. Many of these injections use an anesthetic combined with anti-inflammatory medicine in order to alleviate pain and other symptoms, such as radiation from the neck and back into your arms or legs.
Common Injuries Treated with Injections
Pain management doctors administer injections for many injuries related to automobile accidents. Some of the most common injuries that require injections include:
- Herniated discs in the neck and the back. These injuries can be located in your cervical spine or lumbar spine
- Bulging discs in the neck and the back, also located in the cervical or lumbar spine.
- Annular disc tears. These are tears in the discs located in your cervical spine (neck) or your lumbar spine (back)
- Pinched nerves in your neck. This is known as cervical radiculopathy
- Pinched nerves in your back. This is diagnosed as lumbar radiculopathy
How Much is a NJ Accident Case Worth if you had Injections?
First, in order to recover compensation for your injuries after a car accident, you need to have a permanent injury. Legally, a permanent injury is an injury that will not fully heal to its condition from before the accident. Bulging and herniated discs may be considered permanent injuries. However, as you might have guessed, insurance companies will do everything they can to pay as little as possible, if anything, for many car accident claims. Insurance companies will argue that the bulging and herniated discs are degenerative conditions which were caused by your age, and the body’s wear and tear. They will not readily admit that these injuries were caused by your automobile accident. This is why you need an experienced NJ Injury Attorney Howard P. Lesnik to negotiate and even battle with the insurance companies.
