Traumatic strain injury is very common and can be very pronounced even after minor Auto Accidents. The human body is not made to withstand the impact of a car collision; joints can become misaligned and several soft tissues can be injured during one. These soft tissue injuries can become painful within hours to days after an accident and can cause long-term pain even in the absence of visible signs. Dr. Gasparyan is experienced in tackling traumatic strain injuries caused by accidents and will work with you to establish a treatment plan that will target your pain symptoms and prevent further damage. We are aware that immediate treatment of soft tissue injuries after a car or workplace accident is important for patient well-being so we offer emergency appointments upon request.

Auto Accidents |
Car accidents can cause injuries such as whiplash, neck injuries, herniated discs and other soft tissue injuries. These injuries can give rise to headaches, neck and back pain, body stiffness, chest pain, anxiety and panic attack symptoms. Dr. Gasparyan will request imaging studies and will address these injuries to alleviate symptoms using a holistic approach. She is very aware, however, that injury severity may require a multidisciplinary approach. To ensure that our accident patients receive this multidisciplinary care our group has created partnerships with several other specialties. We closely collaborate with reputable acupuncturists, pain management physicians and psychologists to best address the physical and psychological needs of patients involved in more severe automobile collisions.

Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries, although different than auto collision accidents, can also result in spinal misalignment and soft tissue injury. These injuries, while possibly more chronic in nature, can also be addressed through chiropractic treatment. Dr. Gasparyan will devise an individualized treatment plan to tackle both the underlying physiology as well as the symptoms of the injury. At the same time, she will address long-term solutions to prevent further injury through education and postural ergonomics.

Be aware that you might deserve compensation for injuries sustained in an automobile accident or at work. Please speak to your lawyer to that effect.
Sport Injuries |
Sport training and even routine exercise can lead to traumatic strain injury due to joint misalignment and soft tissue injury. Common injuries include ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee, back pain, rotator cuff injury and inflammation of muscles at the elbow. Therapeutic approaches will vary by case, but in general these involve treatments to control inflammation and pain followed by assessment and treatment of underlying joint subluxations, postural imbalances and body mechanics.
