After a car accident, which would concern a spine specialist more: severe pain or mild pain with numbness and weakness? 🤔
The answer might surprise you.
While severe pain can be concerning, numbness or weakness may indicate that a nerve is being affected, even when the pain itself seems mild.
If nerve compression or injury progresses, it can potentially lead to long-term neurological problems.
That's why it's important to pay attention to all your symptoms after an accident, not just how much pain you're experiencing.
At FSPI, our physicians use comprehensive orthopedic and neurological evaluations to identify potential injuries and guide appropriate treatment.
⚠️ New or worsening weakness after an accident requires prompt medical attention. Sudden or rapidly progressing neurological symptoms may require emergency care.
