Motor vehicle accidents can result in various injuries, each requiring a specific approach to rehabilitation. Understanding the common causes and types of these injuries helps in developing an effective treatment plan. Here are some prevalent injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents:
This is one of the most common injuries in car accidents, caused by the rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck. Symptoms include neck pain, stiffness, and headaches. Rehabilitation focuses on reducing pain, restoring range of motion, and strengthening neck muscles.
Accidents can cause fractures and dislocations in various parts of the body, including the arms, legs, and ribs. Rehabilitation aims to promote healing, restore mobility, and strengthen the affected areas.
These injuries include strains, sprains, and contusions affecting muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Physical therapy helps reduce pain and inflammation, improve flexibility, and restore function.
Accidents can result in herniated discs, spinal fractures, and other back injuries. Rehabilitation focuses on pain management, improving mobility, and strengthening core muscles to support the spine.
Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are serious concerns following an accident. Rehabilitation includes cognitive and physical therapy to address symptoms and improve overall function.
These can include damage to internal organs, which may require a combination of medical and rehabilitative care for full recovery.
Each injury type requires a specific rehabilitation approach. At Atrium Physical Therapy, our skilled therapists design individualized treatment plans based on your unique needs and recovery goals.
