Truck Accident Injury Doctor in Frisco and Fort Worth TX

At the Pain Specialists of Frisco, we understand the devastating impact that truck accidents can have on your health, particularly when it comes to spinal cord, neck, and back injuries. Our top physician, Dr. Mahesh Mohan, MD is a board-certified Pain Specialist with a focus on minimally invasive treatments for the spine, making him well-equipped to handle the aftermath of such accidents.

Dr. Mahesh Mohan, MD experience in dealing with spinal cord injuries, neck, and back injuries – the most common injuries sustained in truck accidents – is extensive. He understands the complexities of these injuries, which can range from minor to severe, including disc injuries, fractures, compression of the spinal cord, or even complete severing of the spinal cord.

Symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, headaches, dizziness, vertigo, numbness, weakness, loss of function, backaches, and muscle spasms in the affected areas are common after a truck accident. We offer a comprehensive approach to pain management that can help alleviate these symptoms and improve your quality of life.

The Pain Specialists of Frisco believe in a multimodal approach to managing pain. Treatment for spinal cord, neck, and back injuries typically involves a combination of rest and immobilization, physical therapy, and medications for pain relief and inflammation.

At Pain Specialists of Frisco, we understand the catastrophic consequences that can arise from truck accidents. Given their size, weight, and nature, these accidents often result in severe injuries, some of which may lead to long-term health issues such as chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, or long-term disability.

Trucks, often weighing 20-30 times more than passenger cars, can cause devastating damage in accidents. Smaller vehicles are particularly vulnerable to crushing and deformation, increasing the risk of catastrophic injuries or death. These injuries may range from broken bones and burns to spinal cord injuries. Additionally, the substantial weight of a truck affects its braking capability, leading to severe and sometimes fatal accidents.

Moreover, truck drivers are often under immense pressure, leading to fatigue and impaired reaction time. This can result in accidents that not only lead to immediate physical injuries but also long-term health issues. Dr. Mohan’s expertise in managing chronic pain conditions, often stemming from such traumatic incidents, ensures effective treatment and management of these conditions, thereby improving the quality of life for his patients.

At Pain Specialists of Frisco, the medical team utilizes a multifaceted approach to manage the pain and discomfort associated with accident injuries. We employ a range of advanced techniques, customizing each patient’s treatment plan to ensure comprehensive care.

Dr. Mahesh Mohan, MD begins the patient’s treatment journey with an in-depth evaluation and diagnosis. A thorough examination is performed to evaluate the extent of your injuries, including musculoskeletal issues, nerve damage, and soft tissue trauma. We use advanced diagnostic tools such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans to accurately identify the pain source and guide treatment plans.

Dr. Mohan’s expertise lies in providing non-surgical and minimally invasive techniques to alleviate pain and promote healing. When non-invasive measures are not enough, we may recommend interventional procedures, including advanced techniques such as epidural steroid injections, trigger point injections, and facet joint injections.

For chronic or severe injuries, we offer regenerative medicine services such as stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. These cutting-edge treatments aim to promote tissue repair and enhance healing.

The recovery process following a truck accident can be a complex and highly individual journey, depending on the nature and severity of the injuries sustained.

For minor injuries such as cuts, bruises, or minor fractures, the initial recovery phase could take several weeks to a few months. During this period, Dr. Mahesh Mohan, MD and his team provide essential services in the initial stabilization of injuries and management of pain. They might also coordinate with surgeons if surgical interventions are required.

In cases of moderate injuries like broken bones, internal injuries, or moderate traumatic brain injuries, the recovery process could extend into the subacute phase (3 to 6 months).

For severe cases, where life-threatening injuries or significant physical trauma has occurred, the recovery process may last for several years or even become a lifelong journey. In this scenario, long-term pain management becomes a key aspect of the patient’s care plan.

The recovery time from a truck accident can be affected by several factors, including the severity of injuries, age and overall health of the individual, adherence to the treatment plan, and emotional and psychological well-being.
