Car accidents are often debilitating. The injuries sustained are not always life-threatening but they do affect the way a person functions.

Day-to-day tasks become increasingly difficult to perform without some type of surgery or form of rehabilitation. Montvale Health Sport & Spine provides a range of treatments for injuries sustained in an automobile accident fall into several categories.

More than 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, which makes the condition the number one cause of disability among adults in the United States, according to the American Chronic Pain Association. And to everyone but the sufferer, the signs of pain are mostly invisible. People may look fine, but inside they are hurting, and hurting badly. Sadly, many people simply acquiesce and choose to live with the pain because they are uninformed about or do not understand that they have options.

The winter months typically bring hazardous conditions. As a result, we see an increase in injuries resulting from the extra strain of shoveling, slips and falls on ice, auto accidents, and winter activities such as skiing and ice-skating. All of these winter activities and subsequent risks lead to a number of problems: from sprains, strains and fractures to back pain. At Montvale Health Sport & Spine, we are equipped to handle all of these problems, and are currently accommodating patients by offering zero wait time.

Sciatica is relatively common, and has been reported to occur in 15 to 40 percent of people during their lifetime, most commonly between the ages 30 and 50. Some causes include a herniated disk and degenerative arthritis of the spine. These are more common causes than actual injury.

The shoulder is one of the most complex and moveable joints in the body. It is composed of the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone). Working in tandem with these bones are muscles, tendons, and ligaments, which anchor the shoulder in a stable position. When any of these areas are damaged, it can impact the entire joint and limit movability. Because of the complexity of the joint, it is frequently the site of injury. If you are experiencing stiffness, feel as if your shoulder could pop out of the socket, or are lacking strength in the shoulder, it is highly likely that you have an injured shoulder.
