Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries

Find Relief From Your Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries With Physical Therapy

Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of injuries. Just alone in 2012, there were over 5 million motor vehicle accidents in the country. The damage after a car accident can be immense. There are both fatalities and injuries. An accident injury from a car wreck can vary from person to person, but there are some common ones.

Common motor vehicle accident injuries

Head and back injuries from a car wreck are typically the most serious. Head injuries can lead to vision problems, skull fractures, and concussions. With a concussion, you may experience dizziness and headaches. Another common car accident injury is a herniated disk. Neck and chest injuries are also common, with whiplash being the most common accident injury. Whiplash can be very painful and restrict movement. The sudden movement of the neck and head in a car accident can cause whiplash. Blunt force trauma from a car accident can collapse lungs and break ribs.

Indeed, car accidents can result in a wide variety of injuries. For a quicker recovery, it’s best to engage in physical therapy treatment.

The reasons why you should get physical therapy after a motor vehicle accident

There are many, many reasons to undergo physical therapy after you’ve been in a car crash. It supports the recovery process. After a car accident, you may experience pain, reduced range of motion, headaches or stiffness. Keep in mind that these symptoms may not appear right after a car accident. Physical therapy helps you to keep pain symptoms at bay, improve flexibility, increase strength and recover faster. It can also prevent long-term damage from a car accident, including migraines and chronic pain. The sooner you get physical therapy after a car wreck, the more likely you are to have a pain-free life. As a matter of fact, a Medscape study revealed that those who didn’t receive physical therapy were much more likely to suffer from degenerative disc disease.

Physical therapy also helps reduce pain. Its exercise pumps oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the injury site and enhances healing. Every exercise and stretch has a specific goal for recovery and improves function and mobility. A physical therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan targeted to your car injury. Physical therapy also helps you avoid surgery. It strengthens ligaments, tendons, and muscles, which protect the body’s structures. It’s also a much more cost-effective solution.

Physical therapy can also restore function in patients with old car accident injuries. You can still benefit from physical therapy even if you had an injury years ago. Using manual therapy techniques and strength training, it can help relieve old pain and improve mobility. Plus, it’s a non-invasive treatment, and you won’t wind up having to rely on pain medications for relief.

Physical therapists can even treat vertigo due to a car accident. Types of physical therapy include manual therapy, modalities, Neubie, specific exercises, targeted massage/soft tissue mobilization, stretching. It’s a holistic approach to healing after being in a car accident. In addition to treatment after a car accident injury, physical therapists can provide services for neurologic rehab, cardiovascular, orthopedic and post-op care.
