What Are The Common Injuries From Motor Vehicle Accidents?
All motor vehicle accidents are different. The injuries sustained can vary depending on the type of collision, your location within the vehicle, age, and pre-existing medical conditions. Some of the most common injuries associated with MVA’s are:Â
- Concussion
- Whiplash
- Shoulder Injury
- Back Injury
- Neck Pain
- Radiating Arm or Leg Pain
We offer manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, goal setting and functional rehabilitation to help you recover at each stage. In addition, we can utilize acupuncture, dry needling, concussion management, vestibular rehabilitation, thermal and electrical modalities, ultrasound, mechanical traction and massage therapy in your treatment.
Often, our patients benefit from ergonomic and body mechanic training to reduce strain on injured areas of the body. This training will assist in recovery, and a comprehensive home program will help you return to a pre-accident activity level.
Your physical therapist will tailor your plan of care based on your individual needs. Including injury prevention before you get discharged from your physical therapy treatment is essential because it helps reduce susceptibility to sustaining future injuries or chronic conditions after your MVA. Our caring and knowledgeable team is here to help you ‘love getting better’ after your motor vehicle accident.
