Treatment for motor vehicle accident injuries vary from physical therapy to exercises, depending on your situation
It is a technique in which the therapist uses his hands to manipulate soft tissue, joints and nerves. This therapy decreases pain and tissue tension and improves the quality of movement.
Stretching exercises can help in reducing stiffness. Similarly, strengthening and flexibility exercises can help in improving muscular control in affected areas and improve movement tolerance during daily activities.
We may use hot or cold packs to relieve pain. Cold therapy reduces inflammation and swelling. Heat therapy is used for chronic pain and stiffness and to improve the range of motion.
We can also recommend avoiding certain postures or movements for some time to make the process of recovery faster.
If you suffer from a common car accident injury and do not do physiotherapy, you’ll need more time to recover. Physiotherapy treatments will help you recover from minor injuries faster, strengthen your muscles, improve blood flow to the injured area, and promote proper healing. If you refuse to participate in physical therapy, your injury may take longer to heal.
The rehabilitation can begin with range-of-motion exercises 72 hours after the injury and continue for several weeks or months. However, your practitioner will prescribe the right time to start physical therapy depending on your unique situation.
Recovering your muscle strength after motor vehicle accident injury is a time-taking process.
