Comprehensive Post-Car Crash Evaluation and Care in Florida

Have you been involved in a car crash? In the State of Florida, you have the first 14 days to seek medical care to be evaluated for possible injuries sustained during a motor vehicle collision.

Many people don’t seek medical attention since they feel “ok,” but scientific evidence suggests that just being impacted from a speed of 5 miles per hour can develop “Whiplash.”

We offer a wide range of therapeutic services for personal injury patients; our process starts with consultation to gather data about traumatic events and then proceed with examinations such as:

  • Range of motion was measured with a Goniometer X-ray of the full spine, with precise analysis to detect pelvic and spinal misalignments affecting your health.
  • Flexion and extension studies to gather objective data about ligament damage due to possible whiplash injuries.
  • BESS test to start screening for concussion Orthopedic testing depends upon the traumas.
  • Motor and sensory testing.
  • We will refer to obtaining advanced studies such as M.R.I., E.M.G., orthopedist, and/or neurologist consultation.

After x-rays analysis of our accurate x-ray analysis for structural issues, a method based on the Gonstead approach) Then, we provide a plan of care and explain to the patients the structural issues going on based on the findings and how these can alter or affect their health over the long road.

D.X.D. Reports for Ligament Damage Assessment

About the flexion and extension studies, we do perform D.X.D. reports that provide all the guidelines from the American Medical Association in regards to ligament damage due to trauma. This report is called  D.X.D. and this helps to successfully prove ligament damage from the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments under trauma.

We send patients for M.R.I. to completely rule in/out discal damage. So, more objective evidence is needed for any case. We seek weight-bearing M.R.I. for the lumbar spine as ideal.

In terms of our operation, we have extended hours until 7 pm on some days and on some Saturdays. Also, we are open; we do offer axial vertebral spinal decompression, Shockwave, cervical traction, Neuromuscular reeducation and retraining of postural muscles, exercises for chronic stages, mechanical traction, cryotherapy, e-stim, manual therapy, and equipment such as Ankle Brace, Knee brace, Lumbar Brace, Posture Corrector, elbow and wrist brace, neck orthosis, etc. that can help our patients the most in the recovery to “pre-accident status.”

If you have any questions or if you need any other information about how we do things in our office for our patients after a car accident, you can reach us at 813-560-HOPE (4673).

Cervical Study: ALTERATION OF MOTION SEGMENT INTEGRITY (AOMSI) QUANTIFICATION

  • The integrity of the angular motion segment is below the ratable threshold.
  • The integrity of the translational motion segment is compromised and stable at C3-4 and C4-5.

IMPRESSIONS:

  1. Cervical motion study (C2-C7) indicates Translational Motion Segment Integrity change at C3-4 and C4-5. The impairment of the cervical region is due to ratable loss of motion segment integrity, which is stable at 25% for the cervical spine (A.M.A. Guides, Fifth Edition, Errata).
  2. This patient’s digital analysis reveals Loss of Motion Integrity at C3-4-5.33 and C4-5=3.90 mm (Total Translation).
  3. Ligamentous instability is present in the Cervical spine.
  4. Interruptions of George’s Line at C2-3, C3-4, C4-5, C5-6, and C6-7 during the lateral stress views (flexion/extension) are indicative of ligamentous instability, sub-failure, or insufficiency from the evaluation of translational motion.
