The major concern in auto accidents is to be checked for the big 5 injuries:
  1. Spinal Ligament Tears - a permanent injury that requires special x-rays and computerized ligament analysis.  Visit our page to learn about our cutting edge ligament analysis and digital x-ray system used by less that 200 clinics world wide.
  2. Disc Herniations - Spinal discs, or the spacers between the bones of the spine can be ruptured in motor vehicle accidents.  Neck pain, shoulder pain and arm pain are all signs that you could have a herniated disc.
  3. Fracture - Occult, or hidden spinal fractures can occur in motor vehicle collisions, and a specialized set of x-rays are needed to determine if a fracture exists.
  4. Nerve Injuries - The nerves leaving you spine can be injured several ways during an auto accident.  Traction, or stretching injuries, compression injuries and blunt trauma injuries can all occur in a motor vehicle accident a low speeds.  These injuries require specialized analysis through the use of electrodiagnostic studies.
  5. Concussion (Mild Traumatic Brain Injury) - One of the most common, and most missed diagnoses is a mild traumatic brain injury.  These injuries can be devastating and cause numerous symptoms that can last for a lifetime.  We take special care to diagnosis and refer you to a neurologist for further work-up.

Many other injuries frequently occur in auto accidents, and Dr. Shook is specially trained in the work-up, or triage of these types of injuries, view his credentials here.  

Dr. Shook works directly with numerous medical specialists so that you have a team ready to help you if needed.  Neurologists, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, pain management specialists, neuroradiologists, and primary care physicians are all available with a referral from Dr. Shook.

Dr. Shook teaches professionals in the medical, legal, and insurance industries about the latest research on the numerous types of injuries that can occur in auto accidents.

If you would like an opinion on your condition, a second opinion or to have a spinal ligament analysis performed, just give us a call at (828) 352-8568.

We look forward to hearing from you, and hope to help you make a speedy recovery.
