Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries
Injuries from a collision often feel worse two days later than they did at the scene. Early, appropriate treatment shortens the whole recovery.
Also called:Whiplash, Car accident injury, Auto injury, No-fault injury
What it feels like
- Neck pain and stiffness after a collision
- Headaches starting in the days after
- Shoulder or upper back pain
- Difficulty turning to check blind spots
Feeling fine at the scene is common and not reassuring. Symptoms frequently arrive on day two or three.
How we treat it
Manual Therapy
Skilled hands-on treatment of joints and soft tissue to restore movement and reduce pain, delivered by a licensed physical therapist rather than a machine.
Therapeutic Exercise
A progressive, individually prescribed exercise programme that rebuilds strength, mobility and control so improvements hold after discharge.
Joint Mobilization
Graded, controlled movement applied directly to a restricted joint to restore its normal glide and reduce the pain that comes with guarding.
Physical Therapy
A full evaluation, a diagnosis you can understand, and a treatment plan built for your body and your goals rather than a generic protocol.
