Unfortunately, some experiences in life are unavoidable and happen even to the best of us and car accidents are one of those instances. If you have recently been in a car accident and are feeling pain that you thought would go away but it hasn’t, you are not alone. It is very common to feel pain in your back, neck, hand, wrist and shoulder after any accident occurs. Remember, how important it is not to ignore your symptoms and seek medical attention to make sure nothing serious is happening.

Body & extremity pain may occur either during or right after the accident. It is also common for pain to occur days after the initial injury. These types of injuries can affect your day-to-day life, as well as your work performance.

He is also very familiar with personal injury cases that involve hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, neck and back injuries and what they entail. Please contact our office to begin the journey to healing today. 

When you check in for your appointment, we will provide you with a health questionnaire that gives us a better idea as to what you are experiencing and the symptom severity. Dr. Pournaras will review your medical history, and will perform a full examination that can include X-rays that may deem beneficial to get a better understanding of what is going on. If advanced imaging is necessary, he will provide an order to have this done. After the exam, Dr. Pournaras will create a comprehensive treatment plan designed to help you in your recovery process.

Sometimes even with the best medical care possible, not all injuries heal the way we hope. Broken bones, torn ligaments, and other serious injuries can impact your quality of life, mobility, and the ability to work full time. Further complications can demand ongoing care to minimize the impact on your life. Trust Dr. Pournaras and his highly trained, professional medical team provide you with ongoing care.
