Objective Documentation and Treatment of Unresolved
Tissue Injuries Prior to Litigation and/or Case Settlement
Injuries due to traumatic episodes of the head and
neck, in addition to possible brain damage, involve, but are not limited to fractures,
muscle sprains, ligament sprains, and detachment of the muscles and ligaments from their
attachments to the bones of the skull, mandible, and the neck.
In an automobile accident, the head and neck are
violently flailed back and forth while the body is restricted by the seat belt, and the
seatback/headrest. This flailing is due to the elastic nature of the spinal column
and it's ligaments and muscles, as well as the elasticity of the seatback and
headrest. In cases where the head strikes the dashboard, or window, or some other
part of the car, the injuries caused by the flailing head are compounded.
Objective documentation of these injuries can mean the
difference between a reasonable case settlement and one that cannot even cover the medical
fees necessitated by the accident.
The head and neck diagnostic center is equipped with a
state-of-the-art, FDA and ADA accepted computerized diagnostic
equipment, as well as state-of-the-art computerized
tomographic equipment and techniques which enable objective visualization,
measurement and documentation of these real, significant, and many times permanent,
heretofore difficult or impossible to document injuries.
