Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries

Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of injuries. In a single year, 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, chest and shoulder injuries are also common, with whiplash being the most common. 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 at Grelot Physical Therapy today.

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 helps reduce pain. Our modalities and hands-on approach help modulate the pain and exercises enhance healing. Every exercise and stretch has a specific goal for recovery and improves function and mobility. Our physical therapists will develop a personalized treatment plan targeted to your car injury. Physical therapy can also help you avoid surgery. It strengthens ligaments, tendons, and muscles, which protect the body’s structures.

Physical therapy will 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 cardiovascular rehab 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. In as little as one treatment, they can fix a dysfunction in the vestibular system. At Grelot Physical Therapy we use manual manipulation of soft tissue and joints, modalities such as dry needling, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation, ice and cold therapy and specific exercise programs. 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 pulmonary rehab, neurologic rehab, cardiovascular, orthopedic and post-op care.

If you’re suffering from a car accident injury, don’t delay any longer. Contact Grelot Physical Therapy today, and let our trained physical therapists help you get on your road to recovery. We’ll have a one-on-one consultation with you, do a comprehensive evaluation and create a treatment plan targeted for your injury. We’ve helped many others recover from a car accident injury and can help you too.
