Involved in an accident?

You don’t need to be in a major car accident to sustain damage to the musculoskeletal system. Unfortunately, many patients may feel like they don’t need care because the accident was “just a fender bender”. While in reality, those “small impacts”, as shown in many scientific studies, are enough to cause injuries to the muscles, ligaments, capsules, and discs of your spine.

Some injuries will not start showing symptoms until days or even weeks after the accident. It is vital to your health to undergo a proper examination and receive the appropriate treatment as soon as possible if you are suffering from an injury. Injuries sustained in an auto accident are more likely to have a better outcome when treated in the early stages.

What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapists are highly educated experts in the movement and function of the human body. The goal of a physical therapist is to promote the patient’s ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. Physical therapy is an essential element of patient care.

Therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and patient education are the cornerstones of physical therapy treatment. Depending on the particular needs of a patient, physical therapists may “mobilize” a joint or massage a muscle to promote proper movement and function.

Physical therapists may use other techniques such as electrotherapy, ultrasound (high-frequency waves that produce heat), traction, heat, and ice, in addition to other treatments, for enhancement of patient outcomes.
