Motor Vehicle Accident Treatment and Recovery

An MVA motor vehicle accident is a collision that results in moderate to severe physical and psychological damage, including comorbidities, which cripples the functionality of victims leading to sudden helplessness. 

While Advance Physical Therapy works as MVA rehabilitation and understands how traumatic a motor vehicle accident can be and what the recovery plan should be. As an MVA rehabilitation services clinic we also know that victims often have clinically significant sequelae. And automobile collision can lead to spinal cord and traumatic brain injury, nerve and thoracic fractures, whiplash, concussions, spinal disc herniation, soft tissue injuries, limb loss and knee injuries, facial trauma, body sprains and spasms, and burns. 

So, what treatment should you expect after an MVA injury?

If you’ve been in a crash, you know the most common damage is the upper spine and neck, besides traumatic brain injury, soft tissue injury, concussions, lacerations, and fractures. And sometimes the impacts of substantive crashes may recur over 6-18 months. 

Hence, expert therapists at our clinics will examine the injuries and develop a personal treatment plan, which might include a referral to an expert specialist to help you work on an all-inclusive convalescence plan after a motor vehicle accident. 

The All-inclusive Treatment After Motor Vehicle Injuries:

Comprehensive Evaluation

Your auto accident injury treatment will begin with a thorough assessment by our licensed physical therapist to identify injuries and functional limitations, forming the foundation for a personalized treatment plan.

Customized Treatment Plan

Based on the evaluation, the therapist will develop a treatment plan that may include:

  •  Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques to mobilize joints and soft tissues, reducing pain and improving mobility such as:

Targeted movements: A biomechanics-based training that helps victims learn motor control of functional movements.

Graston Therapy 

Soft tissue work that will signal and accelerate the blood flow to promote healing.

  • Modalities

Using ultrasound, heat, or ice can reduce inflammation and promote healing. Other treatment methods include kinesiology taping and bracing, to provide support and stability. Moreover, electrical stimulation can help you manage pain and encourage muscle recovery. Shockwave therapy is another option that can stimulate healing in soft tissue injuries. Myofascial release is a technique used to relieve tension in the fascia and improve movement. 

Additionally, patient education and prevention strategies are crucial to ensure proper body mechanics and reduce re-injury risk.

Your therapist will guide you on proper body mechanics and ergonomics to prevent re-injury and promote long-term health.

Progressive Rehab

As you advance, the focus will shift to functional training, simulating daily activities to ensure a safe return to your routine after the catastrophic injury.
