| AUTO ACCIDENT INJURIES |  | | Dr. Elgendy is specialized in diagnosing and treating Auto Accident injuries. | Dr. Elgendy diagnoses your condition, only after a careful history, and a complete physical examination which she personally performs. This includes ordering the correct diagnostic imaging (x-rays, MRI, CTscans, etc.) and/or laboratory work. She personally goes over the results and discusses your case and your treatment options with you. She starts treatment only when you agree to the treatment and only when both of you think chiropractic is the best treatment for your health.
Even a minor auto accident may cause headaches, neck pain and stiffness, numbness in the extremities, shoulder pain, knee pain, depending on the injuries sustained from the accident.

|  | | One common neck injury is a sprain. This is also known as "whiplash." | Whiplash is an all-too-common consequence of the more than one million rear-end collisions that take place in the United States every year. Although the classic symptoms of whiplash(headache, dizziness, neck, shoulder, jaw and/or arm pain) may subside after a few weeks of appropriate care, it's estimated that nearly one in four cases will become chronic, resulting in long-term discomfort and disability.
Chiropractic may offer the best opportunity for relief from the pain of whiplash, according to a study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Medicine. Ninety-three patients with chronic whiplash symptoms were divided into three groups based upon the nature and severity of their symptoms. All 93 patients received an average of 19.3 chiropractic adjustments over the study period (about four months).
Results showed that two of the three groups (patients with neck pain, restricted neck range of motion and/or neurological symptoms) improved under chiropractic care, with 85.5% reporting "some benefit," 33.5% improving by two symptom grades, and 31% being relieved of all symptoms.
If you or a loved one is suffering from whiplash, make an appointment with Dr. Elgendy today. As the authors of this study conclude, when it comes to treating whiplash,"chiropractic is the only proven effective treatment."

|  | You may have headaches, back pain, neck pain, knee pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and many other symptoms due to your occupation as well as your activities of daily living.
Repetative Stress Injuries (RSI) are caused by repetition of a certain move over and over for a prolonged period of time.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may be caused by typing for a long time, sewing for a long time, cooking, using a screw driver for a long time, etc...
| Dr. Elgendy treats work injuries of this type which are caused by repetative motion and many other causes.

|  | | Headaches are as different as the individuals who endure the pain they bring. If there was only one contributing factor to headaches, treatment would be easy. However, it is not that simple. | Tension headaches are the most common, affecting up to 95% of the population. These headaches are caused by contracting muscles in the neck, head, and back. The contractions rob the muscles of oxygen, causing them to send pain signals to the brain.
Triggers of tension headaches include emotional stress, poor sitting posture, gripping a telephone between the shoulder and head, and driving in heavy traffic.
When suffering from headaches, the only thing that matters for you is getting relief. Dr. Elgendy can help. She is highly experienced in diagnosing and treating headaches.
Headaches can also be one of the symptoms of an auto accident injury.

|  | Dr. Elgendy Targets Back Pain.
Pinpointing back pain can be more difficult than one could expect. Dr. Elgendy is a trained professional that has been treating back pain successfully for years. If you are experiencing back or neck pain, she can help. | "Chiropractors are trained and skilled to work with your back and get results. Studies have shown chiropractic to be more effective than medications alone, or have indicated that using chiropractic care in conjunction with other treatment methods--such as massage or specific exercises--optimizes its effectiveness and healing benefits.
Those healing benefits include:
Helping joints regain their flexibility and elasticity.
Relieving pain by lowering your pain thresholds.
Reducing other low back pain symptoms such as numbness in the leg, and general discomfort in the back.
Accelerating your recovery by improving the overall functioning of your back.
Using hands or touch for therapeutic purposes has been found to have psychologically positive effects.
"Chiropractic is satisfying care. It is a concrete positive approach by physicians who understand the mechanisms of your back, the pain, and your concerns."
