What happens if you get in a car accident?

Both minor and major car accidents produce a whipping action of the neck damaging the surrounding soft tissue structures (muscles and ligaments). Abnormal joint function is common after whiplash trauma and can lead to a variety of disorders.

The doctors at Advanced Medical take pride in helping their patients reach pre-injury status. They accomplish this by taking a systematic and individualized approach to the patient's auto injuries.

Solutions for your headache in Twin Cities

It is estimated that 45 million Americans suffer from severe recurring attacks of migraine and tension headaches. Daily use of analgesics, aspirin, and ibuprofen can create a rebound effect thereby causing more headaches. Once the medication wears off, the headache often returns prompting the person to take more medication therefore creating the cycle of pain-pills; more pain and more pills.

It is not uncommon for a person to experience two to three headaches per year. If you experience headaches more frequently than this, it is probable that you are suffering from nerve irritation in your neck. Other causes of headaches may include trauma (such as whiplash injuries), TMJ syndrome (jaw problems), allergies and/or hormonal imbalances.

Treating a Tennis Elbow in the Twin Cities

Tennis elbow is a common term for a tendon-bone irritation on the thumb side of the elbow region. It is also known as lateral epicondylitis (epp-e-condill eye'-tis). It may be due to a one-time injury, or to an accumulation of several smaller injuries. Pain in this region can occur with playing tennis, but it may also occur with lifting, or other activities that require repetitive wrist extension while the fingers are flexed. Since the involved muscles are large while the tendon and its bony attachment are small, the site of irritation is the tendon-bone junction.
