 Signs and Symptoms of Orthopedic Injuries

Orthopedic injuries from auto or work-related accidents can affect your bones, joints, ligaments, muscles or tendons due to sudden impact, heavy lifting or repetitive strain. 

Symptoms vary depending on the accident and injury type. 

  • Whiplash: neck pain and stiffness
  • Fractures: intense pain, swelling, visible deformity or limited use of the affected limb
  • Muscle strains or tendon injuries: soreness, weakness, bruising or a popping sound at the moment of injury
  • Nerve damage: numbness, tingling or weakness

Early treatment is key to preventing long-term damage and ensuring full recovery.

Orthopedic Services We Offer

We provide comprehensive spine and orthopedic care designed to help you feel better faster, including:

In-Depth Examinations

Every treatment starts with a detailed evaluation. Our experienced team accurately diagnoses your injury’s severity while helping you feel comfortable throughout the process.

Outpatient Surgery

If surgery is needed, our skilled surgeons perform minimally invasive procedures in our orthopedic outpatient surgery centers. This allows us to schedule same-week treatments and helps you recover faster at home.

Case Management

You’ll have a dedicated case manager guiding you through every step of the treatment process. They are your direct point of contact for any questions and concerns.

Interventional Pain Management

We want to help you return to your daily activities without the burden of chronic pain. Our providers offer nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedures to reduce pain and regain function. After a thorough evaluation, we can recommend the best option for you. 

Our doctors have extensive training in clinically proven techniques, such as: 

a x-ray of a person 's brain shows a number of different sections

Steroids reduce inflammation. An epidural steroid injection delivers steroids directly into the epidural space, an area around the spine that contains sensitive nerve roots. The injections can address pain and inflammation caused by herniated or bulging discs.

a x-ray of a person 's brain shows a number of different sections

This procedure involves injecting a small amount of local anesthetic into the facet joint or around the medial branch nerve. This procedure is a useful diagnostic tool for identifying the source of your pain. While not intended for long-term relief, it can provide extended benefits as healing progresses

a x-ray of a person 's brain shows a number of different sections

Radiofrequency neurotomy uses heat to block pain signals to the brain. This procedure often provides long-term pain relief, lasting 9 to 14 months or longer. RFN is performed only after a medial branch block confirms the targeted area is the source of your pain. 

a x-ray of a person 's brain shows a number of different sections

A cortisone shot delivers a combination of a steroid and local anesthetic into a joint, such as the knee, shoulder, hip, or sacroiliac (SI) joint. The steroid reduces inflammation and swelling, while the anesthetic provides temporary pain relief.

a x-ray of a person 's brain shows a number of different sections

Injections target the “knots” in skeletal muscles that cause pain and spasms. An anesthetic is injected to relax the muscle fibers, improve function and reduce pain.

Complete Care Spine & Orthopedics FAQs

During your first visit, our board-certified physicians will perform a comprehensive medical exam, review your history and identify the source of your pain. We will then explain your treatment options so you can make an informed decision for your care.

Complete Care’s interventional pain management program uses a multidisciplinary approach to diagnose and treat pain caused by auto accidents. Our anesthesiologists, orthopedists, neurologists, chiropractors and nurses collaborate to create personalized treatment plans.

Our focus is on interventional treatments, but we also prescribe other pain management tools, such as back braces, TENS units or physical therapy after evaluating your needs. We create individual, comprehensive treatment plans to effectively treat your specific pain condition. 

Most injections are outpatient procedures. Typically, you can go home within an hour of your appointment unless otherwise instructed by a physician.

When scheduling your procedure, you will receive specific instructions to ensure your safety and prevent rescheduling. This will include a list of medications to abstain from for seven days prior to your procedure. If you have any questions, your case manager or surgical coordinator will be happy to help.

A chiropractic neurologist is qualified to diagnose and treat neurological disorders involving the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves and the associated dysfunction of these systems. A chiropractic neurologist will not prescribe drugs or surgery, but rather recommend appropriate conservative treatment depending on the nature of the dysfunction. After a thorough evaluation, a potential patient may be deemed “not qualified” for conservative care and may need to be co-managed or referred to a medical neurologist or other provider until symptoms improve.
