Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries

Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of injuries. Just alone in 2018, there were over 160,000 motor vehicle accidents in Canada. The damage after a car accident can be immense. There are both fatalities and injuries. An accident injury from a car wreck can vary from person to person, but there are some common ones.

Common motor vehicle accident 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 physiotherapy treatment.

The reasons why you should get physiotherapy after a motor vehicle accident

There are many, many reasons to undergo physiotherapy after you’ve been in a car crash. It supports the recovery process. After a car accident, you may experience pain, reduced range of motion, headaches or stiffness. Keep in mind that these symptoms may not appear right after a car accident. Physiotherapy helps you to keep pain symptoms at bay, improve flexibility, increase strength and recover faster. It can also prevent long-term damage from a car accident, including migraines and chronic pain. The sooner you get physiotherapy 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 physiotherapy were much more likely to suffer from degenerative disc disease.

Physiotherapy also helps reduce pain. Its exercise pumps oxygen, blood and nutrients to the injury site and enhances healing. Every exercise and stretch has a specific goal for recovery and improves function and mobility. A physiotherapist will develop a personalized treatment plan targeted to your car injury. Physiotherapy 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.

Physiotherapy can also restore function in patients with old car accident injuries. You can still benefit from physiotherapy 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.

Physiotherapists can even treat vertigo due to a car accident. In as little as one treatment, they can fix a dysfunction in the vestibular system. Types of physiotherapy include massage, manual manipulation, ultrasound, ice and cold therapy, specific exercises, targeted massage, stretching and aquatic therapy. It’s a holistic approach to healing after being in a car accident. In addition to treatment after a car accident injury, physiotherapists can provide services for pulmonary rehab, neurologic rehab, cardiovascular, orthopedic and post-op care.

If you’re suffering from a car accident injury, don’t delay any longer. Contact MEX Physio in Milton, Oakville, Burlington, ON today, and let our trained physiotherapists help you get on your road to recovery. We’ll have a one-on-one appointment with you, do a comprehensive evaluation and create a treatment plan targeted for your injury. We’ve helped many others recover from a car accident injury and can help you too.

I went to MEX Physio as I was experiencing some pain in my lower back. After just one session, I was impressed with Gaya. What I find most valuable is her approach to treatment, which is to address the root cause of the problem and not just the symptoms.It has been three sessions and I cannot believe the flexibility and mobility I have gained. She has earned a customer for life!

He’s friendly, easy to talk to, and knows what he’s doing.After his sessions, my shoulder got so much better. I’m really happy with the progress. If you need help with any physical problems, I definitely recommend going to Shiv!

My experience with Mex Physio has been wonderful so far. Service from my physiotherapist alone is exceptional. Maria listens to you wholeheartedly and works towards your needs and concern(s). Front desk personnel goes beyond their way to accommodate your needs without feeling sense of helplessness. I recommend anybody who's looking for any kind of wellness service to give Mex Physio a try

My 13-year-old son recently injured his knee, and we were fortunate to have Shiv Shankar as his physiotherapist. From the very first session, it was clear how caring, patient, and dedicated Shiv is. He took the time to thoroughly understand my son’s condition and tailored a treatment plan that was both effective and manageable.Shiv’s approach was not only professional but also incredibly supportive. He ensured my son felt comfortable and motivated throughout his recovery process. His attention to detail and genuine concern for my son’s well-being made a significant difference in his progress.We are deeply grateful for Shiv’s exceptional care and expertise. He is a wonderful human being and an outstanding physiotherapist. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of physiotherapy.
