Physical Therapy after a Car Accident is VERY Important! According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 6 million car accidents occur in the U.S. every year, and of those 6 million, over 2.5 million car accidents are rear-ending collisions. This kind of auto accident is the most common and can cause an injury called “whiplash,” which occurs when the neck extends beyond its normal range of motion. As a result, patients may develop symptoms like pain and stiffness in the head, neck, and shoulders, loss of range of motion in the neck, chronic migraines or headaches, tingling and numbness in the upper extremities, dizziness, and fatigue, and occasionally, blurred vision and/or memory problems.
Common Injuries
Whiplash injury symptoms may not surface right away, so it’s imperative patients seek immediate medical attention to have their physical health evaluated. Prolonging treatment could result in long-term damage, like chronic pain, reduced mobility, or post-traumatic stress disorder.
Our Therapists are experts in manual therapy and rehab techniques which are very helpful in accident recovery. With our individualized and specifically designed Physical Therapy treatment sessions, it’s no wonder why our patients are recovering faster.
