Have you been in a car accident and sustained injuries?
Physical therapy can help you heal!
Have you been in a car accident before? Are you still experiencing aches and pains from the accident? Our physical therapists in Warminster and New Britain, PA at McCabe and Brady Physical Therapy have a track record of success in helping people recover from motor vehicle accident injuries.
Did you know that not all car accident symptoms appear right away? Some symptoms appear later that day or the next day, while others do not appear for several days. Symptoms are also known to last for months or even years.
Whiplash
Whiplash is a painful condition caused by sudden neck and head movements, resulting in simultaneous injury to multiple joints and soft tissues. Whiplash can prevent normal neck movement.
Typical car accident injuries treated by a physical therapist include:
- Herniated discs
- Muscles strains
- Joint damage (i.e., cartilage, ligaments, and nerves)
- Broken bones
- Concussions
- Whiplash
What can McCabe and Brady Physical Therapy do to help me recover from my car accident injury?
Physical therapy is one of the most effective ways to treat car accident injuries. Physical therapy shortens recovery times and aids in the prevention of long-term conditions. Some countries even employ physical therapists to work in their emergency rooms to provide a gentle movement program for patients who have been in a car accident and have been cleared of any fractures or serious conditions and deemed appropriate for early mobility programs. Research has shown that early mobility after a car accident speeds recovery and reduces the chances of long-lasting problems.
Some of the most effective physical therapy treatments are as follows:
- Targeted manual therapy (i.e., myofascial release, trigger point release)
- Joint and soft tissue mobilization
- Postural corrections
- Range of motion exercises and specific stretches
- Modalities for pain relief (i.e., e-stim, TENS, laser therapy)
- Progressive strengthening exercises
- Nerve mobilization exercises
What are the benefits of physical therapy following motor vehicle accident injuries?
Physical therapy can assist those who have been injured in a car accident in a variety of ways.
Pain alleviation
Physical therapy is one of the most effective treatments for pain caused by a car accident. Our treatments are intended to promote healing while also increasing mobility and function. Our therapists will recommend exercises and stretches that you can do on your own to help you find pain relief.
Increase mobility and function
The most common issue that people face after a car accident is a loss of mobility and function. Our physical therapists can help you recover from any musculoskeletal injury, whether it affects your joints, muscles, or nerves.
We offer evidence-based programs that have been shown to effectively relieve pain, restore joint range of motion, and improve strength, allowing you to resume your normal activities.
To ensure results, we will employ modalities as deemed appropriate, as well as targeted manual therapy techniques.
Resolve concussion-related symptoms such as vertigo and dizziness
Concussions can have serious consequences and necessitate the services of a highly trained physical therapist. Our therapists can even treat common concussion symptoms such as vertigo and dizziness.
To identify any impairments or dysfunction, our therapist will thoroughly examine your entire musculoskeletal, nervous, and vestibular systems. If you were in a car accident and are looking for solutions to your problems, make an appointment with McCabe and Brady Physical Therapy right away.
