As people look for new ways of getting around their town, the popularity of electric scooters has been rapidly growing across the US. While it may seem like a great way to get from point A to point B, hospitals are reporting a growing number of patients with serious injuries after wiping out on electric scooters. In this video, Dr. Hooman Melamed weighs in on The Doctors TV show about the public safety risk electric scooters pose and the serious injuries some of his patients are dealing with.

If you are coping with neck or back pain after an electric scooter accident, don't hesitate to get a doctor evaluation. Forgoing medical care after a serious accident could result in further, costlier injury down the line.
