Neurology & Neurosurgery

Neurovascular conditions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result from traumatic injuries. These injuries include head trauma in accidents or falls, leading to issues like hemorrhages, blood clots, or nerve damage. We apply a multidisciplinary approach when treating these conditions. Interventions may include surgical procedures to repair damaged blood vessels, alleviate pressure on nerves, or remove clots. Additionally, medical management, rehabilitation, and monitoring are crucial components of comprehensive care. We utilize the most current FDA-approved technology to provide an excellent standard of TBI care, neurological care, and neurosurgical procedures.

Pain Management 

Personal injury patients often require pain management treatments from qualified physicians due to the significant physical trauma and discomfort. This trauma and discomfort is often a result of an accident, fall, or other injury. Pain, if left unmanaged, can adversely impact a patient’s overall well-being. This hinders their ability to participate in rehabilitation, and compromise their quality of life.

These range from medications, physical therapy, and nerve blocks to other minimally invasive procedures to alleviate pain and improve functionality.

Minimally Invasive Surgery 

Personal injury patients may benefit from minimally invasive surgery. It can be an effective treatment for reduced trauma, quicker recovery times, and minimized postoperative pain. In situations where traditional open surgeries might involve larger incisions and more extensive tissue disruption, minimally invasive techniques utilize smaller incisions and specialized instruments.

The less invasive nature of these procedures can be especially beneficial for personal injury patients who are already dealing with the physical and emotional stress of trauma. It offers them a path to faster and more comfortable recovery while effectively addressing their underlying medical conditions. Almost all of Watermark’s Physicians offer minimally invasive surgery in some capacity that aligns with their specialty.

Spinal Surgery

Conservative treatments such as medication and physical therapy not providing sufficient relief? Spinal surgery can restore spinal stability and reduce compression on nerves. Spinal surgeries aim to relieve pain, improve function, and enhance the overall quality of life for personal injury patients grappling with significant spinal challenges.

Orthopedics

Orthopedics plays a crucial role in treating personal injury patients with injuries affecting their musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues. When a person experiences a personal injury, orthopedic specialists can provide comprehensive care. Treatment and care can be applied fractures, soft tissue injuries, join injuries, arthritis, spinal injuries, and more.

Acupuncture

Complementary therapies can also enhance the healing process. Acupuncture is a natural and effective option for personal injury patients. For personal injury patients dealing with acute or chronic pain, regular acupuncture sessions can provide significant relief. The needles stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, and relax tense muscles.

ENT & Plastic Surgery

ENT specialists play a crucial role in managing injuries to the ear, nose, throat, and related structures. These commonly occur in accidents such as car crashes or falls. This may include addressing issues like fractures of facial bones, damage to the nasal passages, or injuries to the ear. Plastic surgeons, on the other hand, are adept at reconstructive procedures, particularly in cases where the external appearance and function of facial features need restoration after trauma.
