FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Although most medical providers are optimistic at the beginning of treatment for soft tissue injuries sustained in an accident, that optimism does not always translate into real world expeditious healing. While many people fortunately do recover from acute non-fracture injuries relatively quickly and without significant lingering effects, this is not always the case. There are many reasons why a person may not heal along the standard timeframe. By way of example, this could occur because of underlying anatomical vulnerabilities, prior injury, or because the acute injury transitions into chronic pain through a process of chemical and biomechanical changes that are complex and not fully understand. Another common reason that an injury might not be progressing toward recovery on the anticipated schedule is that the initial diagnosis is not correct and therefore the wrong treatment has been provided.
