Common personal injuries
Work, car and sports accidents, slips and falls, rear-end collisions and overuse can all damage bones, nerves and soft tissue:
- Muscle strains
- Whiplash
- Herniated discs
- Fractures
- Pinched nerves
- Torn ligaments
Muscle strains often come from improper lifting, awkward movements or repetitive stress. Herniated discs and pinched nerves can cause pain, numbness and tingling well beyond the injured spot.
Getting the diagnosis right
No two injuries are the same. Diagnosis starts with a thorough physical exam and a conversation about your symptoms and history, plus imaging like X-rays or MRI when needed. Only then does Dr. Coccaro build your treatment plan.
