Motor Vehicle Accident Management

Trauma such as a motor vehicle accident requires skilled treatment to help you navigate your symptoms as the injury evolves over time.  Initially the acute injury needs comfort, assistance with healing and some inflammation control.  As healing takes place your body will often need assistance in returning muscle function back to normal.  Big muscles tend to stay on too long to protect or “guard” this often gives the feeling of persistent tightness.  Small muscles tend to be inhibited and turn off.  This tends to cause pain when trying to return to perform activities.   Corrective exercises, education and skilled manual therapy can help.  Usually it takes all three.  Your physical therapist is the ideal health care provider to provide all of your needs.
