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.
