When do I need to see a spine specialist after an accident?

Video Summary

After an accident, seeing a spine specialist is crucial if you've sustained an injury to your spine.
If an emergency room visit results in a fracture diagnosis, it's imperative to consult a specialist immediately.
A more complex situation arises when there's no fracture, and you're sent home with pain medication and muscle relaxers.
Continuing to rely solely on pain medication without addressing the underlying issue can be detrimental both medically and legally.
Warning signs that demand immediate attention include numbness or tingling in extremities, which may necessitate further diagnostic scans and specialist consultation.
