Why You Need a Neurologist After an Accident

Neurological injuries are among the most commonly missed diagnoses after car accidents and workplace injuries. While broken bones and visible wounds receive immediate attention, nerve damage, mild traumatic brain injury, and radiculopathy often develop gradually — symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, headaches, and cognitive fog may not peak until days or weeks after the initial trauma.

A neurologist specializes in identifying these injuries through clinical examination and diagnostic testing. At MAIC, Dr. Lennart Belok performs comprehensive neurological evaluations including cranial nerve assessment, motor and sensory testing, reflex evaluation, and coordination testing. When indicated, on-site EMG/NCS (electromyography and nerve conduction studies) provide objective, measurable evidence of nerve damage that is critical for both treatment planning and legal documentation.

EMG/NCS results are particularly valuable in personal injury and workers' compensation cases because they provide objective data — electrical measurements of nerve function that cannot be disputed as subjective. Insurance carriers and defense attorneys find it much harder to challenge an EMG finding of decreased nerve conduction velocity or denervation potentials than a patient's reported pain level.

MAIC's neurology department works in coordination with our pain management, orthopedic, and physical therapy teams. When Dr. Belok identifies nerve involvement, the finding informs Dr. Shekhtman's pain management approach (e.g., targeting a specific nerve root with an epidural injection) and Dr. Dassa's surgical evaluation. This integrated approach under one roof means faster diagnosis, better-coordinated treatment, and a stronger medical record.

On-Site Diagnostic Testing

Unlike standalone neurology offices that refer out for testing, MAIC performs EMG/NCS, MRI, and X-ray on-site. This means your neurological evaluation, diagnostic imaging, and test results can all happen in a single visit — reducing the weeks-long delays that fragment your medical record and weaken your claim timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see a neurologist after a car accident?

You should see a neurologist if you experience numbness, tingling, radiating pain, weakness in your arms or legs, headaches, dizziness, or memory issues after an accident. These symptoms may indicate nerve damage, traumatic brain injury, or radiculopathy that requires specialized neurological evaluation including EMG/NCS testing.

What is an EMG/NCS test?

An EMG (electromyography) and NCS (nerve conduction study) are diagnostic tests that measure the electrical activity of your muscles and the speed of nerve signal transmission. They identify nerve damage, pinched nerves, carpal tunnel syndrome, and radiculopathy. At MAIC, Dr. Lennart Belok performs these studies on-site with results available the same day.

Does MAIC have a neurologist who accepts no-fault insurance?

Yes. Dr. Lennart Belok, our board-certified neurologist, accepts all no-fault (PIP) insurance, workers' compensation, and personal injury liens. No-fault covers your neurology appointments, EMG/NCS testing, and follow-up care up to $50,000 regardless of fault.

What neurological conditions does MAIC treat?

MAIC's neurology department treats radiculopathy, neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, concussion and post-concussion syndrome, traumatic brain injury, cervical and lumbar disc herniations with nerve involvement, migraines and post-traumatic headaches, vertigo, and cognitive deficits resulting from injury.

Can a neurologist help my personal injury case?

Yes. A neurologist's documentation of objective nerve damage through EMG/NCS testing and clinical examination provides critical medical evidence for personal injury claims. Neurological findings are often the strongest evidence connecting accident-related injuries to specific diagnoses and functional limitations.
