Many people don’t expect to experience an injury due to a work-related accident or an auto accident. It is not something that any person plans on. However, statistically, it is very likely that the majority of people will land up experiencing some type of accident during their lifetime. While the severity level ranges from minor injuries to fatal accidents.
The potential physical injuries resulting from accidents, regardless of how minor they may appear at first, could result in long-term ramifications. In many cases, symptoms from an accident do not appear until a few days or weeks after the event.
This is the main reason why you should always seek immediate medical attention after an accident to ensure your injuries are correctly treated and diagnosed. Regardless of the circumstances, Franklin Park Injury Treatment Center offers expert treatments and medical diagnostics to help you recover from your injuries.

Medication Management
Our team of healthcare providers uses a strict evaluation process to decide whether medication is the best option. Our physicians will only recommend medications for relieving certain types of conditions. Our medication management involves communication with the other practitioners in the office as well as the patient to find the right approach for them.

Back Pain
The back is made up of many bones, ligaments, spinal fluid, the spinal cord, muscles, and soft tissues. Even though it supports range of motion and the body, this is also what makes it prone to wear and tear and injuries, especially as we get older. From chronic conditions to illness to injury, we treat many symptoms relating to back pain including:
- Lumbar Pain
- Degenerative Conditions Relating to the Spine
- Spinal Trauma and Fractures
- Middle Back Pain
- Upper Back Pain

The neck consists of a delicate and elaborate system of muscles, soft tissues, nerves, and bones. Our Franklin Park Injury Treatment Center specializes in treating a range of conditions that affect the neck including:
- Neck strains
- Neck Pain Relating to a Back Condition
- Whiplash
- Neck Injuries
- Tech Neck
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is a highly treatable condition, particularly when diagnosed with early treatment. Since it is often very painful, most people find it hard to work, move, sleep, and go about their daily tasks. Fortunately, we have options for many painful shoulder conditions including:
- Sports Injuries
- Dislocated Shoulder

Hip Pain
The team of physicians at Franklin Park Injury Treatment Center provides minimally-invasive and effective non-surgical procedures that have assisted thousands of people to regroup and recover from hip pain without having to choose a surgical route.
Sciatica
In addition to using the symptoms you are experiencing to diagnose that you have sciatica, your medical professional will use a physical examination and your medical history to deal with your concerns. The Franklin Park Injury Treatment Center medical professionals are expertly trained in these processes.
Joint Pain
The body is made up of 360 joints that provide movement, support, and many other functions. Some of the common joint injuries that our center treats include:
- Weakness
- Deterioration of the Supportive Tissues and Cartilage
- Degenerative Conditions such as Osteoarthritis and Arthritis
- Loud, Crunching, or Popping Sounds
- Dislocation of Joints
- Grinding Pain
- Lowered Range of Motion
- The Feeling of “Bone on Bone” Pain
Neuropathy
While pain typically occurs once nerves relay pain signals after damage in the body or an injury, neuropathy works in a different way. Nerve pain or neuropathic pain results from injury or damage to the actual nerves themselves. Neuropathy is caused by various factors including:
- Compression of a Nerve
- Diabetes
- Exposure to Toxins or Drugs
- Using Alcohol Excessively
- Cancer Treatments such as Radiation or Chemotherapy
- Hormonal Disorders
- Vitamin Deficiencies
- Infections
Spinal Disc Injuries
In many cases, spinal disc injuries can initially be treated at home. But it is important to seek medical attention if:
- The pain has started to interfere with your daily life
- Your symptoms are getting worse
- Your symptoms are not improving after 4 to 6 weeks
- You develop a loss of bowel or bladder control
- You have stated to notice a decrease in strength or numbness in your feet, legs, hands, or arms
- You are finding it difficult to walk or stand
Migraines
Chronic migraines or tension headaches can be debilitating and have a negative impact on your quality of life. Our treatment center has a range of therapies and treatments to help you find the relief you deserve.
Concussions
A concussion should always be checked on and diagnosed by health professionals that have the necessary training to treat head injuries. Our medical professionals will assess whether your brain injury requires surgery or a scan. You should visit Franklin Park Injury Treatment Center if you have experienced an injury or concussion and you develop these symptoms or signs:
- Loss of Consciousness
- Persistent Headaches after the Injury
- Confusion
- Changes in Behavior
- Memory Loss
Whiplash
Whiplash is an injury to the neck whereby sudden movements have jerked your head back and forth. This injury type is technically known as a “cervical sprain”. Many people experience symptoms that are mild, such as tenderness and soreness that disappear rapidly. Others experience chronic pain due to muscle bands that support the head getting torn or stretched. Common symptoms relating to whiplash include:
- Neck pain and headaches
- Stabbing or sharp painful feeling when you move your neck
- Severe pain and stiffness in your neck
Regardless of the symptoms you are experiencing, you must see a doctor rather than relying on “how you feel”. If you are involved in an accident, adrenaline could be masking the symptoms, which is why it is best to get a medical diagnosis to rule out anything serious.
Muscle Injuries
Among the top treatment methods for muscle injuries are massage therapy and physiotherapy. Some of the common therapies include:
- Expansion or heat therapy
- Massage therapy
- Physical therapy
- Electro-therapy
Connective muscle injuries are also treated using sports-medicine devices and physiotherapy to reduce swelling and inflammation and relieve pain caused by your injury.
Spider or Varicose Veins
At Franklin Park Injury Treatment Center we utilize the best ultrasound technology to detect any underlying issues.
