"I Feel Like A New Person!"

"I could not have been treated better. I would highly recommend this office if you are suffering from neck or spine pain. I feel like a new person after just one appointment. " - Christopher

At our practice, we focus on the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of injuries resulting from accidents and trauma, including car crash/accidents and other personal injury cases. Our specialized training allows us to identify conditions like ligament instability, also known as ligament laxity, which can often be overlooked in standard assessments. Left untreated, ligament instability can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and long-term degeneration of the joints.

We utilize an advanced diagnostic technique, known as CRMA to assess the severity of ligament injuries and customize treatment plans that address both immediate pain and the potential for future complications. By addressing ligament laxity early, we aim to restore stability, protect the affected areas from further damage, and help you regain optimal function and quality of life.

Dr. Douglas DeSalvo, DC, has established himself as an expert in the court of law, particularly for cases involving patients with automobile crash injuries. Through his extensive education, professional experience, and specific focus on personal injury trauma, he has been repeatedly qualified as an expert witness. His qualifications include a deep understanding of biomechanics, the mechanisms of injury, and the clinical presentation of trauma-related conditions resulting from vehicle collisions.

Dr. DeSalvo has provided expert testimony on behalf of his patients, offering insights into the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term effects of injuries sustained in crashes. His ability to effectively communicate complex medical information in a courtroom setting has supported his patients’ cases by providing clarity on how their injuries correlate to the events of the crash.

Additionally, he has served as an independent expert, offering unbiased assessments of injuries and outcomes for cases where he was not the treating physician, thus adding credibility to his role as an objective authority on crash-related injuries. His court qualifications are further backed by published case studies, continuous professional development, and a record of peer-reviewed work.

This combination of clinical expertise and forensic insight allows Dr. DeSalvo to be a trusted resource for both plaintiffs and defense, ultimately contributing an authoritative perspective on personal injury cases involving automobile accidents.

A disc injury typically results in two primary symptoms: localized pain at the site of injury and radicular pain, which affects the nerve roots.

For example, a neck disc injury might cause pain that radiates down the arms, while a lower back injury may lead to pain traveling down the legs. Although disc injuries can be quite painful, they are generally limited to these two symptoms. Additional symptoms are usually due to damage in the spinal support ligaments, which can lead to spinal instability. These ligament injuries can cause a wide range of complications beyond pain alone.

What Is a CRMA™ Report

Just as the MRI picks up disc injuries, the CRMA™ (Computerized Radiographic Mensuration Analysis) report exists to detect and analyze the non-disc spinal ligament injuries.

THE LEADING CAUSE OF CHRONIC PAIN IS A SPINAL INJURY

In fact, “spinal conditions” are some of today’s most ongoing and medically-expensive injuries. That’s because specific injuries have been difficult to detect. Until now.

This spinal injury diagnostic test pinpoints spinal ligament injuries by measuring excessive joint motion at its specific location. It also reveals that injury’s severity in cervical and lumbar regions. These spinal conditions are NOT FOUND WITH ANY OTHER testing procedure.

If you’ve been injured, having the best diagnostics is essential to avoid a future of chronic pain. Proper evaluation ensures we identify the root causes of your pain, allowing us to create an effective treatment plan that supports your full recovery and long-term well-being.
