Spine and back injuries are an exceptionally common result after someone has been involved in a motor vehicle accident. Clients often show up at our office in varying levels of pain after such accidents, hoping we can help them to get on the right track towards recovery. Sometimes their pain level improves over time; other times it progressively gets worse to the point that’s it’s a constant disturbance in their normal life.
Car accidents are so unexpected. But what my clients are often even more surprised about is just how debilitating back pain can be. In our experience as a law firm, these injured victims who are suffering from this kind of debilitating pain are desperately seeking a solution. Injection therapy could just be the answer. Although it does not work for all patients, in all cases, the patients who do see results are often very pleased with the pain-relief they experience. (click on this article to learn more)

Saint Petersburg and Pinellas County Injury Law Firm: Exercises That Can Help During Injury Recovery
Matthew A. Dolman's insight:
You probably know that keeping yourself at a healthy weight during your recovery is important for your mental health and for promoting the recovery process, but this is often easier said than done. Depending on the severity of your injury, exercising might appear to be impossible. You might also simply have no interest in exercising because of the effects of your medication on your mood and your ability to concentrate and your baseline pain level.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:
When you are recovering from a back and neck injury in an accident, you probably are not thinking about your workout routine. You might also find yourself relying on takeout and frozen foods more than you normally do because of the difficulties of shopping for groceries and preparing fresh meals with your injury. Both of these mindsets and habits can be dangerous for your waistline and by extension, your recovery.
It is critical that you keep yourself at a healthy weight as you work through your recovery following an accident. (click on this article to learn more)

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:
How Yoga Can Help with Back Pain Yoga is a great way to help alleviate discomfort and heal back pain. Those who have been injured in an accident know just how debilitating living with back pain can be. If yoga can help alleviate some of this burden, it’s worth trying.
Yoga is thought to help back pain by healing injured muscles, speeding up the recovery, strengthening the surrounding muscles, and preventing a re-injury. (click on this article to learn more)

Many different terms are used to describe a disc herniation. Sometimes they are called a bulging disc, protruding disc, torn disc, slipped disc, ruptured disc, or collapsed disc. The list goes on. So one can understand how there might be confusion surrounding this type of injury.
A disc herniation injury occurs when the outer wall of the soft cushion between the spinal vertebrae (the spinal disc) ruptures. A portion of the disc’s inner gel then herniates—which means to push outwards—against the spinal cord or the spinal nerves. It is this pressure on the spinal nerves that causes symptoms typical of a disc herniation.

What is Spinal Fusion?
Spinal fusion is surgery to permanently join together two or more vertebrae in your spine so that there is no movement between them. It also can prevent the stretching of nerves and surrounding ligaments and muscles. This surgery is often an option when motion is the source of pain. The theory is that if these painful vertebrae do not move, they will not hurt. (click on this article to learn more)

To the millions of Americans that suffer from neck and back pain, Laser Spine Surgery may seem too good to be true. Laser Spine Surgery is big business for the innumerable medical providers that perform the procedure.
Matthew A. Dolman's insight:
There exists no long-term clinical study in the vast world of science and medicine that even remotely suggests the procedure is either safe or effective. It’s marketing and such claims are at best ignorantly misleading, and at worst a lie designed and perpetuated from sheer avarice. Laser spinal surgery could be any manner of spinal surgery: a laminectomy, a discectomy, or even a spinal fusion. Laser spine surgery is drastically different from traditional spine surgery, but that difference is nonetheless isolated to the instrument used to perform the surgery. The goal and manner of the surgeries are otherwise the same. A laser, which is a focused beam of light, is used to make an incision so that the surgery can have access to the spine. Laser incisions are much smaller than the incisions made by scalpels in traditional spine surgery. Also, in laser spine surgery, the laser is used to cut away or reshape disks, thereby alleviating pressure and decreasing the resulting pain. (click on the article to learn more)

Spinal cord injuries can have devastating consequences. About 17,000 new spinal cord injury (SCI) cases occur each year. Although spinal cord injuries can happen to anyone, about 80 percent of all new spinal cord injury cases are men.
The Mayo Clinic defines a spinal cord injury as “damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal.” The spinal cord runs up and down the center of the body. Through a network of nerve fibers, it carries messages from the brain to the body, controlling motor, sensory and autonomic functions. Together, the spinal cord and the brain make up the central nervous system. When the spinal cord has been injured, it loses the ability to send and receive these messages below the site of the injury. The injury may be anything from a spinal cord that is bruised, but intact, to a completely severed spinal cord. The extent and location of the damage will determine the loss of function.
