Has Your Doctor Recommended an Epidural Injection for Your Neck or Back Injury?

Bucks County drivers from Dublin to Doylestown risk auto accidents every day as they commute along Route 313. The old two-lane farm road once shared by autos, tractors and occasionally cattle is the primary commuter route from Upper Bucks into central and lower Bucks County, except now it's one long bottle neck congested with mostly trucks and autos right through Fountainville.

The long line of stop and go traffic through Dublin inevitably leads to chain reaction crashes, and the resulting injuries are typically those of the neck and back. Auto accident victims who sustain a herniated disc injury are among the best candidates in terms of treatment options for an epidural injection.

An epidural injection procedure is minimally invasive, which means simply that it does not require surgery. The steroid medication in the injection reduces inflammation of spinal nerves, the cause of your pain. Sometimes, your neck pain is so significant that it makes physical therapy rehab exercises difficult, but an epidural injection allows relief so that you can continue therapy. The treatment can also help your Doylestown area doctor decide whether your auto accident injury requires surgery.

A Bucks County, PA personal injury lawyer at Saile & Saile LLP believes that auto accident victims should have the best possible recovery and will work to help you obtain compensation to recover from your neck injury. If epidural injection is helpful, you want the option to be available to you without having to worry whether insurance will cover you.

Your doctor can update you with the details of your neck injury epidural injection, but you may want to know:

What happens after the treatment?

• Most people can walk around immediately afterwards.
• Most people are allowed normal activity the next day.
• After a short time, you can usually go home.
• Most doctors require that you be driven home.
• The injection site may be a bit sore and can be iced.
• A mild pain reliever like acetaminophen may be needed.

If your neck pain is reduced significantly by the epidural injection, you may not even require surgery.

A personal injury lawyer from Doylestown area's Saile & Saile LLP can guide you through the complex legal issues surrounding your accident claim. As an experienced neck injury lawyer, Michael L. Saile, Jr. will help you get your needed treatment so that you are up and running again from Dublin to Doylestown and back (even if the traffic never exceeds 20 mph).
