alright I'm here with David is easy from the Law Offices of David is easy and
we're going to discuss something that's very important especially when it
comes to personal injury accidents and just accidents in general and that's the
spinal cord and I think most people grew up understanding the spinal cord has a
direct connection to the brain and you never want to do something with the spinal
cord as far as moving it the wrong way or something like that but it's a little
different with a personal injury case because you don't really know the ramifications
of the injury upfront because it could happen later so David explain exactly
why it takes a little longer with a spinal cord injury to understand the true
personal injury it's interesting agreeing that an issue up in my experience most
accidents that we deal with on a daily basis majority of them involve the spinal cord
if you're in a car you get rear-ended so I brought it it's basically either the
low back the thoracic or the cervical and most people may be watching this may
say well have some idea what the cervical is cervical is the disc further up
towards your neck area the thoracic its middle your back the lumbar is your lower
part closer to your belt line a little bit above that they all have numbers they
go from c c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6 and then the thoracic and the lumbar and so forth
the majority of the injuries unfortunately where people are involved even slip
and falls or trip it falls because you know you're putting it's a sudden force
on the neck disc or sudden force on the low back case if you're getting
broadsided or if you slip and fall you hit the ground you know your neck and bodies
suddenly being jolted and moved around and in these particular cases what happens is
people will start feeling pain and initially like okay well as this pain going to
go away or not and I've had clients come to me a month later and they're like
you know when this accident happened i just figured okay well it's just some
aches and pain stiffness and give it some time like when you play some sports
you're not in shape and you start the next day having all assistance so they're
like okay i give it about a week and notice that it's not getting better two
weeks one and then get it then I started looking to find out what I can do I try
to contact the insurance company they kind of give me the runaround and it's
about a muscle later or so when they're like okay I need to get a lawyer and
that's when I get a call once we get a call we send them to the specialist to the
doctors who can then start treating in our field we have we go from the conservative
treatment to the most invasive sometimes in certain cases it's right off the bat
obvious that this person sustained a severe injury to the spinal cord those are
obvious in some cases like I was telling car accidents slip and falls the person has
paint and sometimes it goes away with the conservative community social
chiropractic care physical therapy acupuncture and sometimes it doesn't and that's where
then you undergo an MRI and MRI can tell whether there's a disc bolit radiation
all the other reasons or symptoms that would cause a spinal cord injury or
provide reason why you're having this spinal cord injury and they're after you go
through the next conservative treatment which is if you need to you have had
boudreau injections to see if those help if that doesn't help then unfortunately
sometimes it's surgery but to answer your question yes it does take a progression of
time for you go to the least the least conservative measures and then get more
invasive as you go on to determine if it's something simple or requires surgery and
you bring up a great point being a former athlete you know I think that pain is
going to go away a lot of times it's like I think you know if I if anything
happens to me and I've been in car accidents I've been in you know falling out of
trees and stuff and you know as a especially a man you know you want to thank all
my body can improve and it's going to get better but sometimes you need to get
medical help and you need to seek a personal injury lawyer so the phone number for
the Law Offices of David is easy will be above in the YouTube video and below
and the YouTube information and if you do have that personal injury especially
if the spinal cord is involved contact someone and get medical help thank you
