Motor Vehicle Accident

Motor Vehicle Accidents are becoming common in the last few years. The worst is when you have to deal with injuries. One head-on collision can cause a long-term injury to the head, back, neck, abdomen, or legs. It can be the worst nightmare as well. You sure don’t want to deal with post-accident trauma.
These accidents can have a major impact on :
- Neck and spine
- Head injuries or concussions
- Abdominal injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Foot injuries
Corrective treatment is mandatory after an MVA otherwise there’s a risk for long-term injuries. Typically the rest and a brace are advised after a motor vehicle accident. While this may provide temporary relief, it doesn’t repair the body that has been damaged.
Benefits of undergoing physical therapy at Reddy Care Physical and Occupational Therapy:
- You can avoid the use of opioids for long-term pain.
- You can avoid invasive surgery.
- Get individual attention as we help you understand your personalized recovery plan.
- We work collaboratively with you and design treatment plans to meet your individual challenges, needs, and goals.
Our physical therapists use a variety of techniques to eliminate pain, increase mobility and help you return to normal, at Reddy Care Physical and Occupational Therapy do a full assessment to determine the condition and pain level. We then come up with a recovery plan that includes stretching exercises, which help improve motion. Ice and heat therapy and manual manipulation help you get on the road to recovery after incurring a car accident injury.
