Neck and back injuries are among the most debilitating consequences of car accidents, falls, and workplace incidents. These injuries can disrupt every aspect of daily life—causing pain, limiting mobility, and often leading to emotional distress. At Dr. Elham’s clinic, we offer advanced neck and back injury recovery programs that prioritize both immediate relief and long-term wellness for accident survivors.
Understanding Neck and Back Injuries
Injuries can range from muscle strains and ligament sprains to herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, or even spinal cord damage. Whiplash, pinched nerves, and soft tissue injuries are also common. Symptoms may include neck or back pain, muscle spasms, tingling, numbness, weakness, or restricted movement. If left untreated, these problems can become chronic and significantly reduce quality of life.
Immediate Steps After an Accident
- Don’t Ignore Symptoms: Even minor discomfort may signal a serious injury.
- Get a Medical Evaluation: Dr. Elham’s team performs a comprehensive exam and, if needed, diagnostic imaging to determine the injury’s extent.
- Rest and Immobilize: Temporary rest and use of braces or collars may help stabilize the affected area before starting therapy.
- Document the Injury: Accurate medical records are essential for insurance or legal claims. Our neck and back injury recovery specialists provide detailed notes and reports from your first visit.
Comprehensive Treatment Options
- Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises and stretches relieve pain, strengthen muscles, and improve range of motion.
- Chiropractic Care: Gentle spinal adjustments may reduce nerve compression and support healing.
- Pain Management: Dr. Elham offers medication, trigger point injections, and other modalities to manage discomfort while you heal.
- Massage and Manual Therapy: Soft tissue work eases muscle tension and promotes circulation.
- Heat and Cold Applications: These therapies help control swelling and soothe sore tissues.
Addressing Severe or Complex Injuries
For herniated discs, fractures, or nerve involvement, advanced interventions like epidural steroid injections, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery may be considered. Our neck and back injury after accidents program coordinates care with orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and other specialists when needed.
Personalized Rehabilitation and Recovery Plans
Dr. Elham’s approach is patient-centered—each treatment plan is tailored to your specific diagnosis, goals, and lifestyle. Ongoing evaluation ensures that therapies remain effective as you progress from acute care to full rehabilitation. Education on posture, safe movement, and workplace ergonomics is an important part of preventing re-injury.
Managing Chronic Pain and Psychological Effects
Chronic neck or back pain can lead to anxiety, depression, and frustration. Our clinic integrates psychological support, pain coping strategies, and support groups into the recovery process. Dr. Elham and her team work closely with patients and families to address both the physical and emotional aspects of healing.

Many neck and back injuries result from accidents caused by someone else’s negligence.
