🦴 Managing Arthritis Pain: Expert Advice from Dr. Shobhit Minhas

Arthritis affects millions of people, but there are ways to manage the pain and improve your quality of life. We recently spoke with Hand & Wrist Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Shobhit Minhas, at Fox Valley Orthopedics who explained that arthritis occurs when the cartilage between joints wears down, either naturally with age or after an injury.

While there's no cure for arthritis, Dr. Minhas shares that treatments like anti-inflammatory medications, braces, physical therapy and cortisone injections can help. Surgery is only considered when other treatments no longer work.

If you or someone you care about is struggling with joint pain, it’s important to explore your options. 🎥 Watch the full clip and start managing your arthritis more effectively today!

🚗 Why Specialized Care is Key After a Car Accident

Even non-emergency car accident injuries can be complex and need more than just a doctor’s visit. Recovery often requires a team of experts, including chiropractors, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, pain management doctors, neurologists, and clinical psychologists.

Each specialist plays a key role:

•Chiropractors and physical therapists focus on soft tissue and musculoskeletal injuries.
•Pain management doctors use treatments like spinal injections and carefully manage medications to avoid opioid dependence.
•Neurologists handle conditions like TBIs (traumatic brain injuries) that can be hard to detect but serious if untreated.
•Clinical psychologists help patients cope with PTSD, anxiety, and emotional trauma after the accident.

At Accident Treatment Centers, we bring together all of these specialists to create a custom care plan for each patient. Your health and recovery come first! 💪

Are you or a loved one considering spine surgery? It’s a big decision, and understanding the benefits and risks is crucial. In a recent discussion with Dr. Lauren Matteini, an orthopedic spine surgeon at Fox Valley Orthopedics, we explored some of the most important aspects of spine surgery.

Not every spine surgery is necessary, and it’s vital to ensure that surgery is the right choice for you. The key is whether your symptoms align with your imaging results—this helps determine if surgery can truly improve your condition. We also talked about factors that could increase surgical risks, like obesity and uncontrolled diabetes, which might complicate your recovery.

Sometimes, despite having persistent pain, surgery might not be the answer, and that’s one of the hardest things to hear. However, if you have the right symptoms and your situation calls for surgery, the relief it can provide might far outweigh the minimal risks involved.

It’s essential to have a thorough conversation with your surgeon to understand whether surgery is the right option for you.

🚗 Helping Your Clients Recover: Insights into Tendon and Ligament Injuries from Auto Accidents 🖐️

As someone deeply involved in the care of patients recovering from auto accidents, I know how crucial it is to understand the intricacies of tendon and ligament injuries. I recently had an insightful conversation with Dr. Shobhit Minhas, an expert hand and wrist orthopedic surgeon at Fox Valley Orthopedics about the best ways to approach these injuries.

💡 Key takeaway: Most tendon and ligament injuries we see are partial tears, treatable with immobilization, physical therapy and anti-inflammatories. However, when a complete tear is involved, surgical intervention may be necessary to ensure a full recovery.

For those of you working with personal injury clients, this knowledge could be invaluable in understanding what your clients might be facing and how we can best support their recovery.🩺

Enhancing Patient Care and Settlement Value through Life Care Planning

For personal injury attorneys, understanding the intricacies of life care planning can be a game-changer in advocating for their clients. This specialized knowledge can significantly enhance the quality of care provided to patients while also ensuring a fair and just settlement.

In a recent interview, Dr. Christopher Calarco of Accident Treatment Centers sat down with Dr. Tom Pontinen, a renowned pain management physician and certified life care planning expert. They discussed the critical role life care planning plays in maximizing the quality of life for individuals with various injuries, from minor to catastrophic.

Dr. Pontinen highlighted that while life care planning is essential for all injuries, it becomes even more crucial in cases of catastrophic injuries. He explained that these severe injuries often require significant modifications to a patient's lifestyle, such as home modifications for wheelchair accessibility or adapting to life after an amputation. The greater the severity, the more extensive the planning and resources needed.

Life care planning not only addresses immediate medical needs but also anticipates future care requirements, ensuring comprehensive support for the patient. This meticulous planning not only aids in providing the best possible care but also plays a pivotal role in maximizing settlement value by accurately reflecting the long-term costs and needs associated with the injury.
