Whiplash

Discover How Physical Therapy Can Help You Recover From Whiplash

Have You Been Involved in a Car Accident and Suffered Whiplash? Physical Therapy Can Help You Find Relief

Our Palmyra, MO and Florence, SC physical therapists are trained in whiplash injuries due to a car accident and have the tools to help you recover.

Have you been involved in a car accident that resulted in whiplash? If so, Priority Physical Therapy can help provide the relief you need to start feeling better. 

Physical therapy and whiplash relief

After a car accident, you may experience pain, reduced range of motion, headaches, or stiffness. 

There are many, many reasons to undergo physical therapy after you’ve been in a car crash, as it supports the recovery process and can also prevent long-term damage from a car accident, including migraines and chronic pain.

Keep in mind that not all symptoms may not appear right after a car accident. Physical therapy helps you to keep pain symptoms at bay, improve flexibility, increase strength and recover faster. 

The sooner you get physical therapy after a car wreck, the more likely you are to have a pain-free life. As a matter of fact, a Medscape study revealed that those who didn’t receive physical therapy were much more likely to suffer from degenerative disc disease.

Specific benefits to physical therapy after a motor vehicle accident include:

Avoiding Surgery

Physical therapy also helps you avoid surgery. It strengthens ligaments, tendons, and muscles, which protect the body’s structures. It’s also a much more cost-effective solution.

Curing Vertigo

Physical therapists can even treat vertigo due to a car accident. In as little as one treatment, they can fix a dysfunction in the vestibular system. 

Restoring Function

Physical therapy can also restore function in patients with old car accident injuries, even if you haven’t been in one recently. You can still benefit from physical therapy even if you had an injury years ago. Using cardiovascular rehab techniques and strength training, it can help relieve old pain and improve mobility. Plus, it’s a non-invasive treatment, and you won’t wind up having to rely on pain medications for relief.

Reducing Pain

Physical therapy helps reduce pain. Therapeutic exercises pump oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the injury site and enhance healing. Every exercise and stretch prescribed by a physical therapist has a specific goal for recovery and improves function and mobility. Our Palmyra, MO or Florence, SC physical therapists will develop a personalized treatment plan targeted to your car injury. 

Types of physical therapy treatments used to treat whiplash include massage therapy, manual manipulation, ultrasound, ice and cold therapy, specific exercises, targeted massage, stretching, and aquatic therapy. 

Priority Physical Therapy takes a holistic approach to healing for car accident injuries. Our physical therapists can also provide services for pulmonary rehab, neurological rehab, cardiovascular, orthopedic, and post-op care.

Did you sustain one of these injuries?

Head and back injuries from a car wreck are typically the most serious. Head injuries can lead to vision problems, skull fractures and concussions. With a concussion, you may experience dizziness and headaches. 

Another common car accident injury is a herniated disk. Neck and chest injuries are also common, with whiplash being the most common accident injury. 

Whiplash can be very painful and restrict movement. The sudden movement of the neck and head in a car accident can cause whiplash. Blunt force trauma from a car accident can collapse lungs and break ribs.

Indeed, car accidents can result in a wide variety of injuries. For a quicker recovery, it’s best to engage in physical therapy treatments at Priority Physical Therapy.
