The Role of Physical Therapy in Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor Vehicle Accidents in Ottawa

Motor Vehicle Accidents are becoming common in O’Town in the last few years. The worst is when you have to deal with injuries. One head-on collision can cause a long-term injury to the head, back, neck, abdomen, or legs. It can be the worst nightmare as well. You sure don’t want to deal with post-accident trauma 

These accidents can have a major impact on -:

  •  Neck and spine
  •  Head injuries or concussions
  •  Abdominal injuries
  •  Shoulder injuries
  •  Foot injuries 

Impact on the head can cause a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Head injuries may include jaw fractures and facial fractures. Whiplash is the most common injury incurred in motor vehicle accidents which can cause massive injury to the neck, back, ligaments or discs. Even less severe injuries can cause chronic pain.

MVA can leave a traumatic experience on your mental health.

Physical therapy is an important treatment when it comes to Motor Vehicle Accidents

Corrective treatment is mandatory after an MVA otherwise there’s a risk for long-term injuries. Typically the rest and a brace are advised after a motor vehicle accident. While this may provide temporary relief, it doesn’t repair the body that has been damaged. Physical therapy is the right treatment that actually helps repair and strengthens injured tissues. A physical therapist devises a plan that can help reduce pain and swelling after a car accident.

A physical therapist uses a variety of techniques to eliminate pain, increase mobility and help you return to normal daily function. Physiotherapists at Care2Cure Physiotherapy & Rehab in Barrhaven do a full assessment to determine the condition and pain level. We then come up with a recovery plan that includes stretching exercises, which help improve motion. Ice and heat therapy and manual manipulation help you get on the road to recovery after incurring a car accident injury.
