Motor Accident Rehab

You’ve suffered enough. Get help for your post-accident pain.

Being involved in a motor vehicle accident is a traumatic event on the body. Even low speed collisions can traumatize muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints. The most susceptible area is the neck. Therefore, a very common occurrence with auto accidents is whiplash. This is the sudden deceleration of the neck, without the muscles being able to cope with the sudden change in direction. The result is micro-trauma to the tissues in the neck and progressive inflammation.

People with whiplash often complain of neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain and even back pain. It is also common with nerve injury to experience numbness or tingling into the arms, hands and even legs.

Recovering from a motor vehicle accident takes the know-how of a physical therapist. Our goal is to first decrease your pain and promote the healing process through decreasing inflammation. Next, we work on gentle restoration of your range of motion in the neck, shoulders and back. As you begin to recover and make gains in your ability to move, we help to gently restore your strength. Our programs are unique and include a holistic approach, balancing your body’s muscle, nervous and craniosacral systems.
