Car Accident Injury Rehab

Physical therapy after a car accident is an effective way to ensure your body heals properly. Sometimes you won’t feel the effects of a car accident injury right away. However, it’s still important to see a doctor to identify hidden injuries and begin rehab as soon as possible. Activity First PT can help you with the rehab process.

Recover Faster

While the severity of car accident injuries may vary, physical therapy for any injury can help you speed up the recovery time. Most pain and discomfort from car accident injuries stem from muscular issues. When you have a muscle injury caused by a car accident, it may be hard to determine where the pain is coming from. The goal of physical therapy is to identify and treat the source of the pain. The professionals at Activity First PT can help you do just that!

Timeline Developed By A Pro

While car accident injury rehab does speed up the healing process, it still takes time. Our team can provide you with a medically supported timeline based on your unique body type and injuries. We don’t want you to push your body too soon in the healing process. Doing so will only result in more pain and be counterproductive to the healing process.

Pain Management

While pain medication is helpful directly after a car accident, the goal is to use them as sparingly as possible while you heal. Physical therapy will give you tools to help manage your pain safely without relying on prescription medications for longer than necessary. However, pain is a part of the recovery process. As you build back strength, you may be sore after your sessions. Your physical therapist will show you ways to reduce your pain as you work through your exercises and techniques.

As with any physical therapy programs, it’s important to listen to your body, as well as your physical therapist, and never push too hard. Give yourself time to heal, and we’ll help you every step of the way. Contact us if you have any questions.
