What Is Disability Care?

Disability care, within the medical community, refers to the various types of services that people with disabilities may need on a short-term or long-term basis.

What a Personal Injury Case?

A personal injury case occurs when you’re harmed in some way by the actions or inactions of another person. In other words, it’s an injury that’s not your fault. Many times, personal injury results in temporary or permanent disability. And many of these disabilities result in acute or chronic pain.

Acute pain is temporary, lasting anywhere from three to six months. It’s the result of damage to soft tissues, like a sprained knee. Chronic pain, on the other hand, lasts longer than 12 weeks and usually is the result of damaged or inflamed nerves, such as pinched spinal nerves. Personal injury disabilities can lead to acute and chronic pain. Common causes include:

Sports injuries
Automobile accidents
Medical malpractice
Workplace accidents
Animal bites
Slips and falls

Valeriy Shek Patient (Google Review)
Dear Doctor Etelzon, Thank you again. I am starting to feel more like myself again...I couldn't say the problem is totally gone, but a big weight has been lifted...Today...I decided to go and do my nails which I did not do for a long time after the incident. I also asked my daughter if we could go to the park. These are things I normally enjoy but forgot about them for a few months now.
