Legal and medical collaboration
Legal Support
We offer support to our patients who have sought out legal counsel for issues such as personal injury claims. A trauma evaluation and treatment can provide knowledge and insights into human behavior and mental processes. For example, if an individual claims emotional distress as part of a personal injury lawsuit, our specialists can evaluate their symptoms and determine whether they are consistent with the alleged trauma.
Psychiatric Referrals
We understand that finding a psychiatrist who specializes in trauma can feel overwhelming. At Southwest Trauma, if medication is recommended as part of the treatment plan, we can assist our patients with this service.
Medical Physicians
We collaborate with medical professionals to assist with treatment planning and diagnosis for medical issues such as chronic pain and traumatic brain injury.
Getting a prompt and accurate brain injury diagnosis is important. Symptoms can appear immediately or can develop over time depending on the injury and the person. After an impact or injury to the head, it’s important to get assessed by a medical professional.
Chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) frequently co-occur, and having patients work with pain management specialists is important for trauma recrovery.
