Construction accident injury doctor in Brooklyn
Falls from scaffolds or ladders, falling objects and heavy loads cause many back, neck, shoulder and knee injuries on job sites. If you were hurt on a construction job, get examined soon, even if you kept working. We see patients at our Brooklyn office, 2781 Shell Rd, Suite 101, Brooklyn, NY 11223.
Injuries we commonly treat
- Low back and disc injuries from lifting
- Neck and shoulder pain from overhead work
- Knee and ankle injuries from falls or uneven ground
- Wrist and hand injuries
- Injuries from being struck by falling material
Your care in Brooklyn
Construction injuries often involve the back, shoulder and hand. In Brooklyn you can get physical therapy, lumbar traction and occupational therapy for the hand in the same office where you see the doctor.
Everyone is different. Treatment options and results vary from person to person.
Heavy-work injuries, one office
When a lifting injury or a fall leaves you with back pain running into a leg, Ashley Marcus, MD, examines you, reviews imaging and decides with you whether therapy alone is enough or a procedure such as an epidural steroid injection makes sense. Crush and grip injuries to the hand are treated by our occupational therapist; occupational therapy is offered only in Brooklyn.
First steps
