Acute pain management, telemedicine-delivered.
Short-term, physician-led management of the pain that follows a personal injury — assessed and treated by an emergency-medicine-trained physician.
01Musculoskeletal & soft tissue injury
Strains, sprains, and contusions, plus the back and neck pain that commonly follows a motor vehicle accident. Managed acutely with a physician's judgment about what needs further evaluation.
02Whiplash-associated disorder (WAD)
The cervical pain, stiffness, and headache complex that follows rear-end collisions. Assessed for severity and managed acutely, with escalation when red flags are present.
03Post-traumatic headaches
Cervicogenic, tension-type, and post-concussive headaches after an accident — managed with clear criteria for when symptoms warrant escalation or imaging.
04Acute radicular pain
Short-term medical management of nerve-related pain while imaging or specialist evaluation is arranged. We treat the acute phase and coordinate the referral when advanced care is indicated.
05Medication management
Acute pharmacologic management prescribed and adjusted as recovery progresses — within Texas Medical Board and CDC guidelines. Short-course opioids are used only when clinically appropriate.
*When clinically appropriate, per Texas Medical Board and CDC guidelines.
