Car Accident Doctor Greenville SC - MRI Scan at Personal Injury Clinic http://OptimalSpineCenter.net Tel: (864) 236 - 7988 Optimal Spine Center 1100 Rutherford Rd, Suite B Greenville SC 29609 An MRI scan gives your doctor an accurate look inside your body. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging and as the name states, it has powerful magnets so it's important to get a history prior to the study to make sure the patient does not have metal implants inside their body. An x-ray study is mostly used to diagnose fractures or calcifications in the body and for that reason it is not very good at viewing soft tissue injuries. Soft tissue injuries include disc herniations in the spine, ligaments, tendons, menisci, and muscle. In car accidents, we mostly see disc injuries in the spine and ligament and tendon injuries. In the video I show a closed MRI tube but for people that are claustrophobic there are options to use an open MRI in Greenville SC so they don't feel enclosed. https://youtu.be/CM_7LVoy7Zc https://g.page/optimal-spine-center-greenville?gm https://vimeo.com/514903246 http://www.youtube.com/channel/UClGemLN2EXiHMWXn_fJ0kMg #greenvillesc #mri #personalinjury Car Accident Doctor Greenville SC - MRI Scan at Personal Injury Clinic

Car Accident Doctor Greenville SC - Personal Injury Clinic Epidural Injections http://OptimalSpineCenter.net Optimal Spine Center 1100 Rutherford Rd, Suite B Greenville SC 29609 Ph: 864-236-7988 If you've been in a car accident and you're suffering from a herniated disc and it's causing sharp pain or sciatica (pain going down the leg) then your doctor may recommend epidural injections to decrease the pain and bring down inflammation. I made this video to help people understand the purpose of epidural injections and to get a behind the scenes look at the actual procedure since a lot of people are fearful of an injection close to their spine. The procedure takes less than a minute and the patient feels minor discomfort due to the fact that a local anesthetic is used to numb the injection site and once done, the patient can go home the same day. First things first, epidural injections WILL NOT heal a herniated disc seen after an auto accident. They are used to bring down inflammation in case a person is in severe pain or can't function properly. Epidural injections may bring relief for a week or sometimes even months. People will respond to them differently and if you do get relief, most of the time it is temporary. If the injection does help to decrease your back pain and/or sciatica, then that is the perfect time to start an exercise and rehabilitation program to strengthen your low back and rehab your discs. It's not recommended to get more than 3 epidural injections a year or they may cause side effects such as osteoporosis. Herniated discs are a common injury seen after a personal injury.
