Dr. Glen Burford: Personal Injury Doctor In Collierville
When you’ve been injured in a car wreck or another accident, you need a team on your side to help you recover. Most accident victims only contact a personal injury lawyer. But, your team should also include a personal injury doctor who will diagnose and treat your injuries until you are fully recovered and can get back to living on your own terms.
Why You Need To Find The Right Personal Injury Doctor
Choosing the wrong doctor can actually make your injury worse. Dr. Glen Burford, DC, a member of Smart Injury Doctors and a Spinal Institute of San Diego-certified whiplash expert, specializes in personal injury cases in Collierville, TN. With 30+ years of experience treating car wreck and other injury victims, Dr. Burford has the knowledge and expertise to help you return to your pre-injury status as quickly as possible.
Personal Injury Recovery Starts With A Correct Diagnosis & Treatment Plan
More than 55 percent of patients who were in a car wreck and injured their spine have a moderate to severe spinal ligament injury and never fully recover, meaning missed days from work and medical costs for treating symptoms only, not to mention time they’re unable to enjoy friends, family and hobbies.
If you injured your spine, you should schedule a spinal evaluation with a personal injury doctor immediately. While most spinal injury patients never get the extent of their injuries fully diagnosed, this is not the case at Ideal Health Solutions.
Early Intervention Will Help You Recover From Personal Injury Sooner
“Early intervention is the key to your recovery,” said Dr. Glen Burford, who is a certified expert in whiplash and restoring the structural integrity of the spine, reducing pressure on sensitive neurological tissue and improving the health of his patient. “There are three main injuries of the spine: vertebral fractures, disc herniation and non-disc ligament damage not picked up on MRIs. As soon as possible after an accident, injured patients should see a personal injury doctor who will stand with them throughout the recovery journey.”

Dr. Burford Uses X-Rays To Customize Your Treatment Plan
Dr. Burford’s first step in treating personal injury patients is to diagnose the injury by assessing the symptoms and using a series of specialized x-rays to identify non-disc ligament damage as well as herniated discs and vertebral fractures.
Accurate diagnosis is critical to helping car wreck and other accident victims recover from injury.
“An MRI is not enough to diagnose spinal injuries,” said Dr. Burford. “Our first step is to perform a specialized set of spinal x-rays called stress x-rays that are sent to a specialized radiology service to be accurately measured for spinal instability. Once tests are received within one to two business days, we will determine the grade of severity, the degree of spinal instability and begin a treatment plan accordingly.”
To ensure the most appropriate treatment, Dr. Burford uses x-rays to assess the progress being made throughout the healing process. “We use x-rays to help us adjust treatment depending on how the patient is progressing during their therapy. It is critical to continue pinpointing areas of the spine that require treatment so we can get you back to living life on your terms,” he said.
Once primary injury care has concluded, Dr. Burford will recommend a regimen of supportive and at-home care to continue the spinal stabilization process. “We are here to assist spinal injury patients receive the care they deserve. Getting you back to your life as it was prior to the accident is our mission.”
