Our office is situated between two military grounds and therefore come into contact with several different types of problems that we would otherwise not see. The injuries can range from explosive based, traumatic amputations, or activities that require repetitive or high impact such as falling or restraining injuries.
So what makes military injuries different from civilian injuries?
The military requires their personnel to be in top physical shape despite age or rank. Military drills, push ups, and sprinting, and climbing places stress on an aging body that civilians do not regularly or typically participate in.
We will forever be grateful for our veterans dedication and commitment to our country.
“During World War II, the likelihood of surviving battlefield wounds was 69.7 percent; by the end of the Vietnam War it had improved to 76.4 percent; and survival of those wounded in the Iraq War has increased to an astounding 90.4 percent.” – U.S. Department of Defense’s Directorate for Information Operations and Reports
As our military veterans come back from wherever they are stationed, know that we are here to help you return to every day life.
